Strategic Savant Mugs

On the Eve of his epic defeat by 'Deep Blue', Garry Kasparove awoke to an ominous warning,

Chess boxing

'Which 'win' is ours? Because the one on the left looks bigger.'

Bullseye!

'Now I know why the strategy guide warned against entering the 5th stage. Awesome!'

"Maybe we should have another look at the 'business as usual' idea."

'Stay with me now, people, because in Step C, things get a bit delicate.'

Decision Making Block

'So far, sir, we've rejected plans A,B, C, D, E, F, and right now we're evaluating'G'.'

"I sense a lot more going on with you than 'house-husband."

'Henry, I'm here to trim back your budget.'

'I feel cosmopolitan tonight, Joe - Give me a scotch with an irish Chaser.'

'I say we try it.'

"Of course it's only prediction, we can't guarantee anything."

'Good - we're finally all on the same rampage.'

'I can't believe it! This is when I sent out a company memo advocating a win-win philosophy.'

American Roulette

"That 'give it away free' strategy certainly worked well."

"Just got back from the client meeting and great news. . . your work isn't dead. It's beaten senseless and run over by a dump truck...but still very much alive."

"Costs have risen by 200% and we are behind schedule. We are living up to our acronym gentlemen and I am not happy about it!!"

"Is that neat whisky?"

'My client would like to enter a plea of inanity.'

'I'd add 'UK' to your name and do it in big red letters...that'll be £15,000.'

'Let's make it cutting edge...with a traditional feel.'

'I have your MRI results. Half your brain is clogged with passwords and the other half is clogged with user names.'

Game Addiction

Two steps backwards-one step forward.

'Narrow my options down to the good, the bad, and the ugly.'

'Very impressive, but is there anything you can't do?'

"Sorry I'm late. I forgot the PIN number I need to get my brain going."

"Stimulating this area of the brain will enable the patient to think of all the clever things he wished he had said."

'If my idea is good, I get promoted. If my idea is bad, you get fired.'

'Being a Drill Sergeant isn't s tough - all you got to know is how to count to four.'

"After thoroughly researching all the details, I think we can now safely throw caution to the wind..."

'That's it? That's your backup plan?'
