Does the constant whining and posturing from Roy'n'Mark Kent remind
anyone else of the Life Of Brian?

    Roy'n'Mark: We need doers in our movement, Brian, but... before you join
    us, know this: There is not one of us who would not gladly suffer
    death to rid this country of Microsoft once and for all.

    Omer: Er, well, one.

    Mark (Roy has a new job at MS): Oh, yeah, yeah, there's one. But
    otherwise, we're solid.
