Whaddaya got?

QCC!!!

What does it mean?

QuoCapCom!!!

Yes, that's right - as a stopgap until I can put some more CapComs up tomorrow, I've decided to revive one of Adam's worst mistakes, the QuoCom.

How does it work? Simple. I provide a line of text, you complete it. Now, look at the picture below, and give it your best shot! 8).

Alas, poor Yorick, still, at least you've got a neck. There are many Yorick's out there with no necks. You should be grateful. In fact, your selfish attitude sickens me. DIE! *burns head*

Perhaps if you let me judge, I would be willing to drop the suit. =P

And "one of Adam's worst mistakes"?! Hardly.

"Alas, poor Yorick...you are but made of steal and circuitry. Perhaps in another place, in another time, I could have known you well. Unfortunatly, you didn't get enough billing, the movie isn't long enough, and there wasn't enough of a budget for a good flasback scene. Ah well. *throws the skull behind him* "

He got you in the end didn't he?Let that be a lesson to you, to everyone, don't play with QuoComs unless you're willing to get burned. Or horribly mutilated.'

The flesh covered dudes are specifically called Series 800, while the basic skeleton is Model 101...tis confusing

"And lastly, good news: the QuoComs will return. . ." - yours truly, March 12th.

I found this picture, and I scanned it. It's not a very good scanner. I was going to use this as a CapCom, but then I got to thinking. "What if," I asked myself, "this was used as the basis for something like that disastrous QuoCom idea of Adam's? What are YOU looking at?" (this last addressed to someone on the train who was staring at me for talking to myself).

"Furthermore," I continued, ignoring the urgent whispers that same staring person was directing to the conductor, "rather than have someone come up with the obvious 'Alas poor Yorick' line, I use that as the jumping point for people to complete this famous quotation?"

So that's what I did, and that's the thread you're reading. If I'd thought the person who'd long ago conceived of this failed competition would then get all territorial over it, I'd never have bothered. I posted this competition, I judge it. End of story. Maybe I'm wrong. Please let me know, all of you, if you think so. Now, unless anyone really objects, can we get on with havning fun?

Before this develops into a massive spat over who has the right to judge this, I'm going by the word from on high - "who posts it, judges it" - and terminating this thread. No-one's posted to it for 3 days, I think it's dead (the competition, not Yorick). . . 8)

The winner is Elim Garak. Runners-up are The Shadow and Xentrick.

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

Ooh, runner-up.

Picard: "Alas, poor Yorick..."
Lee: "Er, the contest is over."
Picard: "Oh, good." *tosses Yorick into a junk pile*
