Great Falls

Place:

A town in northern Fairfax County between Sterling VA and McLean. Great Falls differs from most of Northern Virginia by having homes on very large yards and having no apartments or townhomes whatsoever. Because it offers a wealth of land and privacy in the middle of the D.C. metro area, homes and estates in Great Falls command very high prices. Within Great Falls is a park with waterfalls that take the lives of several kayakers a year and cliffs that injure dozens of freeclimbers and parkour enthusiasts.

Great Falls has no sidewalks, but many cyclists. There are also many exotic sports cars and fast, winding roads. Because of this, Great Falls has more cyclists hit by Ferraris than any other part of the country. Everyone in Great Falls knows who their neighbour is but has never met them, mostly because 12-foot gates are not very welcoming. There are only two roads to travel from Great Falls to Washington, D.C. This leads to failtastic traffic jams all day.
Man in Great Falls: - "I paid $11 million for a 20,000 SqFt. house with a multi-level deck, infinity pool, tiki bar, pool house for my emo son, basement movie theater, five car garage, horse barn, ballroom, and two-story master bedroom. "

"Five months later, Dick Cheney moves in across the street. FML"

Guy: - "Some Verizon exec just got hit by a Lambo while he was biking in the road"

Friend: - "What an idiot!" "You'd think they'd build a bike trail for all the idiots in the middle of the road"

No cost too great

'No cost too great' is an iconic and recurring line said by the Pale King from the game Hollow Knight. It is often humorously used in situations where a person does something that is too much work, just to reach their goal, e.g. sacrificing thousands of your children just to chain and lock one for years to contain a moth God.
Person 1: "YOUR HIGHNESS, ISN'T THIS A BIT TOO MUCH?"

Person 2: "No cost too great."

Person 1: "SIRE, YOUR CHILD IS BURNING!"

Great White North

A skit on SCTV in response to a need of a canadian segment.
It portrays two brothers, Bob and Doug Macenzie, as super-steryotypical canadians. The skit usually entails sitting arround, eating back baccon, drinking beer, saying "eh", and passing the occasional insult ("Shove off you hoser"). The skit always begens with the call of the wild.
I watched Great White North the movie and immediatly tried the mouse in bottle trick.

Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory

Normal Person+Anonymity+Audience=Total Fuckwad

Proof that Plato's Ring of Gyges was a prophecy.
In Plato's Republic, Socrates proposes what a person would do if they were given the Ring of Gyges, which turns a person invisible and essentially anonymous. Would they still have an incentive to be just under such circumstances? We now know what's like because of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. Let's just say, the results do not reflect well on man.
