The Other Napoleon Dynamite

In the year 2000, long before the movie, a very different Napoleon Dynamite roamed the internet by posting to newsgroups (or maybe he was indeed the Italian guy who Jared Hess had the honor to come across?). Here are some of Napoleon’s not-so famous quotes:

• “It does make you wonder sometimes... it really, really does!”
• “Please, come on, this is a joke isn’t it? No, come on, you can’t fool me me.”
• “Sorry for being thick but I only just got here.”
• “I very well might have sounded pompous, for that I apologise unreservedly. I feel now is an appropriate time to withdraw quietly from the proceedings.”
• “Try it, you never know!”
• “Can I have some of whatever you’re having?”
• “Erm... pass, sorry!”
• “Some of us are nice guys though!”
• “It’ll save your eyesight too!”
• “I think the problem with this kind of thing is biting the bullet and going for it.”
• “Ooooooooh if only you knew my friend!”
• “But really it’s just one minor thing to try that can sometimes make a big difference.”
