"Create. Share. Enjoy." Wait a minute...
I've been troubled for some time by the "Create. Share. Enjoy." motto featured beneath the "Mac|Life" logo at the top of every page here. Something nagged at me, as though I'd seen it before, and it wasn't good.
Like a flash, it just hit me. I KNEW it sounded familiar.
It's almost exactly the same as the slogan of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation'scomplaint department!

The only profitable division of the company is its Complaints division, which, according to the series, takes up all of the major landmasses on the first three planets in the Sirius Tau system. The theme song for the Complaints division is Share and Enjoy, and has since become the theme apparent for the company as a whole. The main office building and headquarters for the company was originally built to represent this motto, but due to bad architecture it sank into the ground, killing many talented young complaints associates. The downside to this is that the building now read, in the dialect of the planet it was on, "Go Stick Your Head in a Pig."

I think "Go stick your head in a pig" would make a nice replacement for the "Adminicons" line up top.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

That would be an interesting slogan.

I've been giggling about that since the switch was made!

Yup. It's been bugging me since then; I knew it from somewhere, I just couldn't place it.

Looks like a fish. Moves like a fish. Steers like a cow.
