    Default Challenge Accepted!

    Ever have one of those moments where someone says something and your either silent or vocal reply is "Challenge accepted!"?

    I did today. So I am sitting in class and the prof. was discussing the department's (philosophy) grading policy: they do not give more than 25% A's. This is kinda annoying, yet I sorta get it...sorta. I actually do not agree with such a policy but that's the beast that universities are. Anyways, because she's a new prof and had graded a little too easy last semester, she indicated that getting an A for this class will be rather difficult. Challenge accepted. Most of the mark is two papers, and to get an A we need to refer to at least two commentaries outside course materials. Should be easy enough, especially given that it is an introductory course on Aristotle and late Hellenistic philosophy.

    So my fellow EoFFers, what has been your most recent or memorable (any moment really) of "Challenge accepted!"?

    Aristotle is my most favourite Philosopher!

    Only every time my girlfriend makes a comment about something I should not do. It has gotten to the point where I need no longer actually say it.

    "You shouldn't eat that entire pizza. You're going to be sick."
    "Challenge--"
    "--accepted. Yes, dear, I know."

    Every time ever that someone tells me I can't or shouldn't do something, much like Ouch's girlfriend.

    You all ready know...
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Just now while sat in work... when asked whether I'll have four contracts sent out by 7pm.

    I think reading this thread my have prompted me saying it.

    Anything involving food. I'll eat things you think are gross if I know they won't hurt me. I'll eat large amounts of food. I can cook food too!
