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.
-Toad from Super Mario Bros
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.
-JFK
17) Silly rabbit clouds are for kids.
-Trix Cereal commercial
18) *($*&#@= BEEEEP #+(*&$^&* BEEEEEP CLOUD COMPUTING BBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP.

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.
