A Message from the Past

Hi, my name is FreakedOutProgrammer009 and I come from the past to warn you about the future. Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) actually has 4 rendering modes, not just 2 as you might believe. Please refer to this article, Activating Browser Modes with Doctype, and scroll down to the section "IE8 Complications".

Time is running out and I have to go now. Please remember this message...

Fitting Gundam names in a sentence

It started with an ad I saw while walking to work. It was an ad for watches; the upper half has a picture of a lady hugging a huge rabbit, while the lower half has a picture of another lady hugging a wolf. Each half has a text, they are:
  • "Waiting for a lifetime for [something I don't remember]?"
  • "Taking the moment to [do something I don't remember]?"
Those sentences made me think, "On impluse..." which at the time seemed to me to be between the 2 extremes the ad had. And, as I think of the word "impulse", which is a Gundam, I completed the sentence with more Gundam references, "I strike for freedom".

So, I arrived at the question, "How many Gundam names can I fit in one sentence without making it sound unnatural?"

I spent the next 5 minutes thinking of such a sentence, but I failed to come up with anything good. But, hey, I reached work by then.

A New Finding

I've been listening to Anime World Order podcast. They are very informative. For example, I just know that Patlabor stands for "Patrol(ing) Labor". After 20 years, I finally know!
