"Corporal, who told you to toss that live round over the side? Don't you realize that this is a waste of government property and you could be charged under a violation of section 118 of the articles of war?"
"Yes sir, I felt I had three options: knowing that a round which falls on the deck is considered to be a hot round and therefore unsafe; I could have left it to roll around the deck and detonate in its own time, or I could retreive it and place it in the hopper to be fired off, thus risking the lives of the three guncrew if it detonated while still in the hopper; or I could elect to throw it overboard."
"I determined that the risk wasn't warranted and so I tossed it."
"It was a command decision sir." (underbreath "stupid asshole")

Get the command decision mug.The ever so annoying and pointless feature on an LG phone that is almost destined to go off anywhere there is a group of people (during class, gatherings). Apparently it is telling you to speak a person's name so you can call them without pressing any buttons, but I don't think I have ever seen anyone use this feature.

Get the Commander in Cheat mug.Notorious B.I.G.'s Ten Crack Commandments in plain English
1) Don't let anyone know how much money you have. It'll make people jealous and want to steal it from you.
2) Don't let anyone know what you're doing next. People will use this knowledge to rob you and hurt you.
3) Don't trust anyone. Even your mother would betray you for the money that'll be in it.
4) Don't take your own crack.
5) Don't sell crack around the area you live in, not even if it's the biggest crack order known to man - it's not worth it.
6) Don't give credit. A crackhead will NEVER pay you back.
7) Keep your family and business completely separate.
8) Don't carry crack on you. You will almost definitely get robbed if you don't follow this commandment.
9) Stay away from the police at all times. If people think you're a snitch then they won't listen to your excuses and it will not only destroy your business but people will probably try to kill you.
10) If you don't have people to sell your crack to in the first place, don't buy any to sell on. Your suppliers won't care whether you sell it or not, they'll take their money from you.

Get the social coma mug.
The first Star Wars game where your main character is not one of the all powerful Jedi Knights. Your main strategy in this game is stay hidden for as long as you can, then when the time is right jump out and take down anything that moves with 300 shots of sky blue plasma. Then when you run out of ammo throw grenades, then take out your pistol and bash in a battle droids durasteel skull. Not to mention this game features Clones with a sense of humor.
Sev: "Ah... more bugs, more kills."
Scorch: "That was for Delta 23! Or, or…was that 32?"
Fixer: "Six-Two, could you cut the chatter until you've got something useful to say?"
Boss: "You lizards need to learn I'm a lot scarier than you are."
