Mikrotik Presentation – Leap Of Faith
So I will be doing a presentation at this year’s MUM 🙂 I know you guys will all be spellbound and dumb struck with amazement…or possibly brain damaged from long term exposure to me…hehehe. But, I want to add some audience participation in a different kind of way.
There was a movie that came out in 1992 called Leap Of Faith. This was a great Steve Martin (who spent some of his youth in my home town) movie about a traveling band of evangelists. The hook was that they were a bunch of crooks…it was all fake. In the movie they would make bets before they performed a show. These bets would be strange words or phrases that Steve Martin would have to work into his sermon. If he was able to work them in, he got the cash, if he couldn’t, the phrase submitter would get to keep all of the money. That’s what we are going to do in this post.
In the comments section, leave the word or phrase you want me to work into my MUM presentation. It obviously must be obscenity free, but can be completely unrelated to IT. You can say sheep dog or Bob Barker…whatever you want. After we collect a few suggestions, I’ll setup a survey and we will choose the top few phrases.
Alright kids…lets see what you can come up with 😉
Seeing that I am a South African, I would think a nice word / phrase would be:
Like a zulu warrior.
It is pronounced zoo-loo and the phrase refers to someone that will not stop at anything to get what he wants. Determined to win or succeed.
Should be easy enough 😉

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb the golden stair.
Good lord Jimmy…You love to hate me, don’t you.
“I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit.”
Get to da choppa!
Or “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” Or “What the hell is a gigawatt” Or “Great Scott!” last but not least… “I hate manure!”
Get to the choppa…hehehe Oh Arnold.
Oh Baxter, you are my little man.
In the words of Buckaroo Banzai, “Know matter where you go, there you are”.
Packets…Packets… We don’t need no stinking Packets….
Oops, rented grammar, Greg please correct 🙂
In the words of Buckaroo Banzai, “No matter where you go, there you are”.
“I was not hit by a train. Damnit, I am the paterfamilias!”
“I don’t want FOP Damn it, I’m a Dapper Dan Man!”
And my favorite from the movie…
“Damn! We’re in a tight spot!”
😀
I play the vuvuzela.
This is really mean and I’ll probably get you beaten up but:
“cisco is better than mikrotik”
other notable entries include
“my grandma can sort packets faster than that”
“I left it in my sock drawer”
“Andrew from Australia is a really cool guy”
“In Australia they all wear thongs to the beach”
(because we do.. [thongs=footwear])
🙂
Ha…you guys are more than happy to comment when it comes to humiliating me…I better hear from you fools like this more often!
Ninjas and pirates in Amsterdam.
Good stuff Greg! make sure you post the video from your presentation please!
on that note…I always enjoyed the show ‘Super Troopers’ when the Highway patrol bet how many times the other guy could say ‘meow’ in a sentence.
something subtle and no one will notice…..like ‘ right meow were going to discuss the new RouterBoards…..meow let’s get started!
hehe.
Cheers!
