TheCabal's Journal: Slashdot cliches

Apart from everyone on Slashdot all being master programmers, expert system admins, lawyers, ethics experts, physicists, movie directors, astronauts and licensed electricians, the one thing that you can really expect from a Slashdotter (besides the Usual GroupThink(tm)) is the use of tiredassed cliches that somehow pass for humor in this place.

Here is a list of some of the most asinie, overused Slashdot cliches I've seen:

1) PROFIT! (I swear people try to compete to come up with the stupidest PROFIT! gag)
2) ...but does it run Linux?
3) Bill Gates is MicroSoft
4) Micro$oft (the 90's called, they want their punchline back)
5) In Soviet Russia...
6) In Korea, only old people do X
7) Anything involving the word "Windoze"

OK, someone needs to institute a rule that the next person to use any of these decrepit gags gets drawn and quartered.

[UPDATE] I have finally seen an original application of a Slashdot cliche. In someone's sig: "In Soviet Russia, today's Tom Sawyer he gets high on you". Might not make sense unless you're a Rush fan.
