I Got Two Words For You

(taken from The Red Manual, authored by the owner of this blog)

Brevity they say is the soul of wit, and you'd be surprised how much you can contain in something so short. In this exercise, you are to think of very short sentences that are of notable nature. For this exercise, try thinking of two-word sentences that leave strong impressions or have a special significance. No researching on the net to check for ideas for other entries. You may use the net to verify quotes.

(No cussing please. I'm the only person allowed to swear here.)

Anyway, here's what I've come up with as of writing this article:

"Let's roll." - Obscure quote from one of the passengers of the ill-fated United Flight 93 before they tried to take over the hijacked airplane, as heard from the phone logs. Apparently, large commercial airplanes are really bad when it comes to rolling.

"I'm pregnant." - Yes, the world's most popular marriage proposal line is the most powerful one as well, so powerful it has legal power.

"Suck it!" - Anybody who's watched wrestling in the 90's should be able to recognize what appears to be the most ridiculous catchphrase in the entertainment industry that's not into adult pornography. (But let's face it, we all enjoyed running around yelling that phrase at some point in time) Degeneration X is what it is, word per word.

"Consummatum est." - Rizal's famous last words, spoken in latin, meaning 'it is finished.'. Not quite, Rizal. We're going to put your face in a coin, name a province after you and turn you into a bronze statue that will forever stand in the midst of a park now most notable for half-dollar hookers.

"Got milk?" - Gotta love those commercials. It almost makes me not want to be lactose intolerant. Almost.

The goal of this exercise is to practice the quick indexed access of both short and long-term memory in your brain under a limiting circumstance. Speedy and accurate recall of nonimporant events will aid you in becoming random and incoherrent in public (because cool people hardly ever make sense j/k).
