Dead Like Me
Death is boring.
Now I don't even have revenge left to live for.
Wait, wait. I'm not really dead. This isn't real life but I'm not the one who's dead.
I'm sitting here trying to protest a war memorial with the names engraved on it of the more than 7 billion dead human beings from planet Earth. All that's left of them is this computer system program my mind exists in. The intelligent System doesn't understand Life.
My best guess is that the system is slowly assimilating the details of my true unimaginable life in the real world and converting those details into my imaginary life here, here I exist, possibly, as one of the identities of a dead human. Or maybe the system didn't know how to interact with my real mind.
So I guess that's the point. To teach the system how to understand a real person. A real person when the system knows no real intelligent life has existed on this planet Earth for thousands of years.
The frustration really gnaws at me like a plague of rats at my ankles but for all I know this entire universe, and my existence in it, has existed only for the past few seconds. My frustration at still being here is just a type of data being pumped into my mind by The System.

Entertain the troops? No way! What have they ever done for me?! Krusty, you made my daughter cry! Hey, my intellectual property rights were being infringed.
Do you know how that feels? Do ya?! Huh?! Do ya?! One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Oh! It's no use.
Mr.
Simpson, you have quite a talent for killing celebrities.
Well I'm no drunk driving.
I'd like to introduce you to some stereotypical ad men.
Simpson, we got a swell little notion for you.
Did you know you can put a dead celebrity in a commercial and you don't have to pay them a thing? Oh, my God, you finally did it.
You mixed Buzz Cola with the smooth, rich taste of lemon.
Unfortunately, there are certain stars who won't do what we want.
What's their problem? They're still alive.
And then we thought "Who's good at killing celebrities?" Me! That's right.
Homer, would you be willing to acquire some more, um uh, accounts for us? Well, you know, it is awfully hot today.
Now I'm too cold.

PICARD: Counsellor, do you remember when I first came on board the Enterprise?
TROI: Yes.
PICARD: What happened after the welcoming ceremony?
TROI: There was a reception in Ten Forward. I introduced you to Worf and the other senior officers.
PICARD: Do you have any memory of my calling Red Alert in Spacedock? Do you remember Starfleet diverting us from Farpoint to the Neutral Zone to investigate a spatial anomaly?
TROI: No.
DATA: It would appear there is a discontinuity between the time periods you described. Events in one time period would seem to have no effect on the other two.

Quotes
George: [the toilet seat falls from the sky. George stares at it] They say your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the moment before you die... That might be true if you're terminally ill or your parachute doesn't open. But if death sneaks up on you, the only time you have to think is: "Aw, shit."

The American Presidency Project
Dwight D. Eisenhower
XXXIV President of the United States: 1953-1961
116 - Remarks to the Young Republican National Federation.
June 20, 1957
My Friends:
To say that I am pleased to be with you this evening is to pitch my real feelings in a very low tone indeed. Speaking for at least three people in the box on that side, for Pat Nixon, for Mamie Eisenhower and me, I can assure you we have had a wonderful time. Not only have we enjoyed every bit of the entertainment, but the feeling of being with you--young Americans, who are here because they believe in something, believe in something that they know is good for America. They have come here to consult one with the other, to confer about the problems of the day and to go home to carry on the good fight for America.
I am not going to detain you long, but I just want to say one thing about fighting: No pessimistic general ever won a battle. There is enough pessimism in fights without the leader showing it.
So I say to you: Do not be satisfied just with the cause for which you fight, do not be satisfied knowing that you are giving the best that is in you. But you must do it with a smile on your faces--because there is no greater privilege than working for the United States of America.
And through your dedication, through the years, you will, by your example, even more than by your words, attract additional thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, to the Party that represents soundness in all governmental dealings, with never-failing concern for every last human being in America, no matter what his religion or the color of his skin.
That, as I see it, is Republicanism.
Living in that way, I am certain your lives will be richer, not only because you will make the country a better one in which to live, but because you will have that great satisfaction that you helped build it. The greatest creation that you can have or that you can deliver to society is that part that you have in making this country great--for you--for your associates--for those who will come after you, and bringing about a world of peace-and a land of justice and of plenty. That is what all of you will work for.
That is why I am so proud of this Citation that was read to me this evening. Literally, to think that this convention should adopt such a resolution unanimously, brought tears to my eyes.
God bless you all. Good night.
Note: The President spoke at Constitution Hall. The text of the citation referred to follows:
TO PRESIDENT
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER
We, the participants in the 10th Young Republican National Convention, speaking for the hundreds of thousands of Young Republicans and the millions of young Americans who feel as we, take this opportunity of expressing to you, Mr. President, our appreciation for the dedicated leadership you have been giving to this nation and to free peoples everywhere.
Mindful of the real sources of strength of our society, striving ever to unite our people, and always acting in accordance with principle, you have renewed the faith of our generation in our national heritage and our institutions of government.
Our tribute to you, Mr. President, is to pledge ourselves to emulate your dedication to service and to support your leadership for peace and progress.

Superior Court Judge Steven R. Hardin: You know I took a lot of notes in your class and I can never remember you saying anything quite like that.
