Tim Do you guys have those Krispy Kreme egg sandwiches?
Google Android Tour Guide You must be referring to our sometimes breakfast, the delightful Krispy Kreme Egg and Cheese. Unfortunately, we are not serving them at this time.
Tim Lame, got any IC Lite?
GATG Sir, it’s 9 o’clock in the morning.
Tim Whatever, I brought a flask from home. Continue the tour, you pompous replicant.
GATG Sir?
Tim Whatchu got to watch around here? I keep hearing about this Google TV. You guys got Skinamax?
GATG Did you mean Cinemax?
Tim Sure, actually, lemme check out some Pens’ clips. I need something to take the bite out of this Jamison.
GATG Sir, I would like to remind you there is no drinking in the Pittsburgh Google offices.

A few days ago I saw this photo popping up all over the internet. It’s from the protests in Cairo, one where a man in plain clothes is comforting a soldier in army fatigues. The soldier has been crying, but the reason why is never made clear. Various posts made conflicting claims. One said the man is upset for not being able to protect protesters. Another said the soldier was pulled from an attacking crowd. (And, if you go on reddit, the man in plainclothes is a doctor and the soldier has been exposed to teargas). But, without proper attribution the story behind the picture becomes distorted, and the power of the image almost becomes damaging. Therefore, I took the opportunity to play around with the relation of these two (most of which devolved to a conversation about music and American pop culture references).
