As is now tradition for Rat unconferences, keep your ears open for great out-of-context quotes. Post them here. Bet on which is best, then vote.
Same structure and resolution as last year's I'll make this market, accept open submissions, then make a poll with all the options after the market closes. Resolves to the quote that wins the poll.
Guidance:
Submit as many as you want. The weirder the better IMO.
You can nominate others' quotes (this is the intention!)
You may self-nominate, but keep a reasonable bar.
No context. This is the out-of-context quote market. If you give the context for your quote it will be turned into paperclips.
If we get lots of submissions, I may only include the top ~20 or so options, by market probabilities.
Market manipulation encouraged.
