Dear God...

Well if you guys need a leader of the Human Resistance, ya know..  you can follow me if you want...

What I'm trying to say is Come with me if you want to live.

-A few Interview questions:

-Can you get out of a dog kennel in less than a hour?

-Would you kiss a female Dan Rather in Mike Kripke's basement?

-Are you an expert in particle accelerators?

-Will you whine about how you don't want to be a leader?

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

1.Yes
2.Yes, but it's cutting it close
3.Yes, but on the condition that it's in Kripke's attic.
4.No, but I know how to operate hydraulic presses.
5.Initially, you know, just for morale of the troops.

why in god's name would you call it skynet, that's just asking for the terminator series to come true, and I really dont like thinking it would be this is the movie that  foreshadowed the apocalypse.

[MSTJedi]

Well, at least it's just a glorified high-speed modem and not a self-aware AI construct . . . yet . . .

agreed, however all I can think of is drones connected to this huge satelite network, just waiting for some dumb ass to say, man if we give it AI, things will even be faster.

I guess this will happen when Skynet 360 is released.

Eesh... I second the opinion that this was a bad choice of a name.  I hope the guy that submitted that got weird looks at least.  Are EMP grenades possible yet?

EDIT:  I'd rather take this than the matrix's vision.

[Hazzah]

I'm still more afraid of W.O.P.R. from Wargames

Whoa, are you saying Claire Danes is a female version of Dan Rather??  Come on, she's not that bad looking.  I for one would have no compulsions with making out with her.

[Quicksilver]

compulsions? lol, never heard of that word before and actually I wouldnt make out with her, might do her with a paper bag over her head.

I knew what it meant, I know a lot of latin so figuring out words is pretty easy for me.

Weird conversation there. 

[Quicksilver]

Weird conversation there. 

what is possibly weird about taking a conversation about a satellite network called skynet and turning it into would you do Claire Danes. More disturbingly would you do her now that we've compared her to Dan Rather.

Personally I would not do Dan Danes, nor Claire Rather. Have to repopulate the earth? that's what dixie cups are for. Just tell her it's for sanitary reasons, with john conner hanging out with so many robots, who knows what kind of robot std's he has. Could end up with robot babies, defeating the entrie premise of repopulation.
