Seen on an HP list; East Coast is Apollo, West Coast is an HP group...

        EAST COAST                                WEST COAST

Absolutely not                         Maybe

Brawl                                  Design review
Dictator                               Facilitator
Do it and do it now                    Can you sign up for this program
Do it right or you're fired            I'm confident in you
F... off                               Trust me
Follow the spec                        Is there a spec?
Get out of my office                   Let's get a consensus on this one
He's a jerk                            He's not signed on to our plan
He's a subordinate                     He's a team player
I'll cover your a..                    Consider me your resource
Ignore him he's new                    I'm bringing you up to speed
Local bar                              Offsite facility
Oh sh..                                Thanks for bringing that to my attention
Overdesigned                           Robust
Punch his lights out                   Constructive confrontation
Shut the f... up                       Thank you for your input
Shut up a minute                       Let me share this with you
That's totally incompetent             Let me build on that point
Unemployed                             Consulting
Overbudget                             On schedule
Underbudget                            We haven't started yet
We finished early                      No translation
We're done                             How do you feel about that
What's wrong with you                  I certainly understand your feelings
Where is the spec?                     What is a spec?
Where's the schedule                   What is the game plan?
Yes                                    Maybe
Your plan sucks                        Let me share my feelings on this plan

The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should therefore be
regarded as a criminal offence.

ponz (Stephen J Ponzio):


Kinda like a cloud,
I was up, way up in the sky,
And I was feeling some feelings 
You wouldn't believe;
Sometimes I don't believe it myself...

So, so what?
What does it matter now?
I was swimming in the haze,
Now I crawl on the ground,
And everything I never liked about you
Has started seeping into me.
Try to laugh about it now,
But isn't it funny
How everything works out;
I guess the joke's on me.

I was up above it.
Now I'm down in it.

I used to be so big and strong.
I used to know my right from wrong.
I used to never be afraid.
I used to be SOMEBODY.

tritan (Poseidon Neptune Triton):

The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
Is a Tigger's a wonderful thing.

Their tops are made out of rubber.
Their bottoms are made out of spring.

They're bouncy, flouncy, pouncy;
Full of fun, fun, fun...

The most wonderful, wonderful thing about
Tiggers is I'm the only one.

I'm... the only one! Grrr...

tron (Andrew H Cytron):

When bad men combine the good must associate, else they will fall one by one.

				Edmund Burke
