“I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!” definitely my favorite one so far. I’m not sure how so many people know this, since it was on so long ago, but I’ve encountered plenty of younger people who are familiar with it for some reason. ---

Houston, we have a problem. I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore. Wreck havoc and let loose the dogs of war. The Cake Is A Lie. ---

Smithers, release the hounds. You like fish sticks? There’s such a fine line between clever and stupid. ---

It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken. All your base are belong to us. Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. Nip it! Nip it in the bud! Is that your final answer? > [@panache45](#): > > You are so not gay. Don’t know that one either. ---

You have GOT to take pictures! Hope you have documentation of your past puzzle-posters (If so, are they online anywhere?). And wish I worked there… ---

Perhaps I’ll take a pic of the most recent one and put it up on Flickr or something this weekend. Thanks for the suggestions—I was actually thinking of using ‘follow the yellow brick road’, and then I saw the other Wizard of Oz suggestion above and I think I liked that one better. I’ll probably start the new poster today, so I guess I’d better decide soon. ---

It’s from the videogame “Portal.” The computer promises you cake when you complete tasks, and there’s a bit of graffiti hidden away that says “the cake is a lie.” ---

Definitely too obscure. I’m taking some pics of the old one now. I can’t get them uploaded anywhere from work though so I’ll try to get them posted somewhere tonight or tomorrow. ---

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. You wouldn’t hit a man with glasses would you? A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man. I don’t know half of you half as much as I would like. And I like less than half of you half as much as you deserve. But are you still Master of your Domain? Stop! Or my mom will shoot! (bad movie, but I love this line) I scored four touchdowns in one game! …and that’s the way it is. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. ---

well, I started the new poster today. Instead of telling you which one I picked, I’ll just take periodic photos of it and see if you guys can figure it yourselves. I’ll post back here on Monday with a link to where I’ve uploaded the pics. thanks for all the help ---
