Everyone wants something to be remembered by and what so many people think they can get away with is coming up with a catchphrase or the very least a quotable line. I sat for two weeks thinking of a catchy phrase for cloud computing that is both funny and memorable. So I wasted two weeks of my life because coming up with a catchphrase for anything is harder than it sounds. So, I just repurposed some famous catchphrases for cloud computing and hopefully my legacy will be something else… Enjoy!
1) Dammit man, I am a storage network not a doctor.
-Leonard “Bones” McCoy
2) I pity the fool . . . who uses an external hard drive to store their files.
-Mr. T
3) Can’t we all just get one cloud network to share?
-Rodney King
4) The USB jump drive made me do it.
-Geraldine Jones
5) I know it when I store it.
-Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart
6) I am smarter than the average CD-R.
-Yogi Bear
7) Don’t lose my files bro!
-Andrew Meyer
8) Turn on. Load in. Spread it around to other devices.
-Timothy Leary
9) Where is the security?
-Wendy’s Commercial
10) I am the decider . . . of what goes on my cloud.
-George W. Bush
11) Thank you Mario but the cloud moved all your files to another castle.

12) All that and a network of files.
-Everyone in the 90s
13) Never leave home without it (Hey that kind of works!).
-American Express
14) USB flash drives, 3.5 inch floppy disks, and external hard drives OH MY!
-Dorothy Gale
15) Now you can store, and storing is half the battle.
-G.I. Joes
16) Ask not what your cloud can do for you. Ask what you can do for your cloud. Well actually no just let the cloud work for you.

17) Silly rabbit clouds are for kids.

19) This cloud was made of lemon grass and shellacked autumn leaves. It’s a cloud thing.
-Martha Stewart
20) Keep Calm and Carry devices with Cloud support technology.
-WWII British Propaganda
To be completely honest I am starting to feel a little more comfortable coming up with a cloud catchphrase. Maybe something like, “It’s the only cloud you want in your life,” or, “It’ll work in the rain.” Hmmm that sounds more of a marketing campaign slogan… You guys got any ideas for your favorite catchphrases? Well then put them in the comment section.
Oh… how about, “Clouding it.”
Never mind.
