A Call For YOUR Creativity: Crowdsourcing Kilroy!

February 1, 2010

Yo, 7th Son fans — I’ve got a killer concept cooking over here, and I need YOUR help.

With the help of some super-savvy iPhone app developers, I’ll soon unleash a cool Kilroy-themed app for the iPhone and iPod touch. We’re cramming lots of goodies inside, but the show-stopping main feature will be a sassy, talking Kilroy2.0!

The gist: When you give your phone a solid “shake,” the mad hacker Kilroy2.0 himself will spout one of dozens of random quotes. He’ll be a delightful, giggling mess, saying such things as “Shake, shake, shake your Kilroy” and “I just rooted your iPhone” … and of course, “Kilroy2.0 is evvvvrywhere.

The twist: We’ve got an aggressive deadline for this project, so I need YOUR help to write dozens of funny Kilroy quotes for the app, which I’ll record and port into the program. Are you up for “becoming” Kilroy and putting words in my most famous character’s mouth? If so, keep reading!

Participating in this fun, creative crowdsource project is easy-peasy:

  • Simply think of as many fun (and funny!) one-liners that you think Kilroy would say, and post them in the comments.
  • You can include many quote ideas in a single comment.
  • The best user-created quotes will make it into the app!
  • Be sure to include your name in your blog comment … we’ll include your name in the app’s credits!

And that’s it! If you wanna participate, you gotta do so at Hutch-speed — and I move fast. The deadline for your Kilroy2.0 one-liners is this Wednesday, Feb. 3. So channel your inner Kilroy, cook up some fun one-liners and post them in the comments!

–J.C.

    “Kilroy 2.0 doesn’t jailbreak. I do it myself!”

  2. Jim Reevior on February 1st, 2010 2:01 pm

    This sounds like an awesome idea, but if Kilroy 2.0 is going to be everywhere, a Android app is needed as well. You wouldn’t have to worry about trying to get it through Apple’s approval process.

    2 cents are in the mail.

    Pedestrian cogs try to glean the secrets of my omnipresence. They fail.

    Alpha is a very clever boy

    How much
    storage capacity? Just how much data can you store here?”

    “We’re computer!s” …. “Computers!
    Data! One-oh-oh-one-one-one-oh-one-ohhhhh—”

    @Jim R — One step at a time, boss. Chime in with a one-liner suggestion!

    @alphanitrate — AWESOME suggestions! I dare say all four one-liners will make the cut! :)

  5. Chris Bowsman on February 1st, 2010 2:07 pm

    I would lol if Kilroy 2.0 said “Is that an iPhone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”

  6. alphanitrate on February 1st, 2010 2:10 pm

    In all fairness they aren’t mine – they are yours. I couldn’t see it going through without them.

  7. Jay Martinez on February 1st, 2010 2:12 pm

    Well simply put my one liner is …

    KillRoy 2.0 – “Roy is War”

    followed by death and mayhem.

  8. Sunil Khanna on February 1st, 2010 2:14 pm

    “Root this!” (followed by mad giggling)

    “Will you be my new disciple?”

    I’ll let you know if I think of any more…

    “The government doesn’t want you to know truth, but I have it my disciples. They, the United States government, is responsible for ‘Jersey Shore’.”

    Can you believe it took me a half hour to come up with that?

  10. Patrick on February 1st, 2010 2:20 pm

    This data is riveting, almost.. orbital.

  11. Patrick Ogenstad on February 1st, 2010 2:25 pm

    Stop shaking my memory totality!

    Mr. Mojo risin’

    Officially, Code Phantom does not exist

    Welcome to my flock

    Always. Watching. Us.

    Some of them are afraid of the call to arms, You are not

    I am in the hands of the Adversary. I am well, but have no time for explanations.

    the prophet thanks you, my child

    This is the real war. What John Alpha’s doing. Feds never had a clue.”

    The data is ours for the taking! The line is scrambled and the only ones who’d notice are busy restarting the crashed-o-rific public servers.

    HAAA! You guys are KILLING me with these quotes! Thanks so much, and keep ‘em coming. Great stuff! :)

  14. Dan Krokos on February 1st, 2010 2:29 pm

    “Naughty pictures are a security risk.”

    “Dipping your iPhone in chocolate will lead to a decrease in performance, but an increase in deliciousness.”

    “I will not be the last Son to get laid. I will not.”

  15. Drew Beatty on February 1st, 2010 2:32 pm

    “when am I gonna get ported to the ipad?”

  16. martyndarkly on February 1st, 2010 2:33 pm

    Kilroy like Fritos, Kilroy like Tab and Mountain Dew….

  17. Drew Beatty on February 1st, 2010 2:39 pm

    “ohhhh, this touch screen is tickelish!”
    “you can shake Kilroy, but you can’t break Kilroy”

  18. Jim Ryan on February 1st, 2010 2:41 pm

    “Why go ON the web when you can go UNDER it?!”

    (Yes, this is all that my pathetic brain has been able to come up with for a quote so far… sigh…)

  19. BrandG on February 1st, 2010 2:49 pm

    I can’t believe no one has said “Do you comply?” yet. :)

  20. Michael Falkner on February 1st, 2010 2:52 pm

    “Heh, heh… I control the horizontal… I control the vertical…”

    “Shake well before opening!”

    “Ring ring… ring ring… BANANA PHONE!” (I loved this ringtone)

  21. BrandG on February 1st, 2010 2:53 pm

    There are parts of the net you cannot see. Those parts glare back at you, through my eyes.

    What Kilroy wants, the web wants. And the web always gets what it wants.

    If you could find me, if you could touch me, I would have already destroyed you.

  22. The HellJack on February 1st, 2010 2:55 pm

    Information is the bullet…your meat mind the the target…

    I’m in your line code, now. We’re all a subroutine of the divine.

    Omnipotence? There’s an app for that, too…~mad giggling~

    Sync with the divine. Back up your soul. Join me in the hear and now…

  23. Cian Mac Mahon on February 1st, 2010 2:56 pm

    Killroy 2.0 doesn’t need help Jailbreaking….

  24. Kate Sherrod on February 1st, 2010 3:00 pm

    Just say “I comply.” You know you’re going to anyway.

  25. Dan Krokos on February 1st, 2010 3:00 pm

    “This is cool and all but I still wouldn’t buy a Mac.”

  26. alphanitrate on February 1st, 2010 3:27 pm

    which beta clone number are you?

  27. @dilh on February 1st, 2010 3:42 pm

    Power corrupts: Absolute power is mine – absolutely. ( Kilroy laughs)

    (Kilroy in disbelieving voice) YOU DARE TO CHALLENGE ME!!!
    (Screen goes dark for 5 seconds).

  28. Jim Reevior on February 1st, 2010 3:47 pm

    Can you hear it? The walls are telling you to comply. Do you comply?

    Will you comply when the call comes?

  29. Nikki on February 1st, 2010 4:10 pm

    My disciples are ready to play.

    Your eyes are looking, pedestrian, but are they seeing?

    Only the walls know, and they whisper me their secrets.

    I will anal mow you. And no, that isn’t an anagram.

    My mind is a temple. My body, not so much.

  30. Steve Saylor on February 1st, 2010 4:22 pm

    Here’s a few with a theme. I may have more different ones later but these are the ones I can come up with now. Good luck Hutch! Can’t wait to get the app!

    Kilroy 2.0 is evveerryyywhere…there’s an app for that.

    Do you comply?….there’s an app for that.

    The president was murdered by a four year old boy…there’s an app for that.

    Kilroy knows your password….there’s an app for that.

    Kilroy codes in his sleep…there’s an app for that.

    The walls can speak to Kilroy…there’s an app for that.

  31. Dan Krokos on February 1st, 2010 4:57 pm

    “Why is Kilroy the fat one? Can he not play the guitar? Can he preach Scripture?”

  32. Richard Mathis on February 1st, 2010 5:00 pm

    All your base belong to… Kilroy 2.0

    Ignore the out of memory warning, just know that you are doing your part.

    I found an interesting charge on your credit card, would you like me to remove it ?

    Good. Bad. I’m the guy with the keys to your identity.

  33. Greg on February 1st, 2010 5:00 pm

    “Shake it like a Polaroid picture.”

  36. Richard Mathis on February 1st, 2010 5:18 pm

    The walls are speak…no, I think you have a phone call, no wait, yes, the walls are speaking to me

  37. Fullofit on February 1st, 2010 5:24 pm

    calling her, really?

    Calling him, really?

    Delete, delete, delete…

    Commands coming in. COMPLY

    it is okay, Kilroy2.0 is here

  38. Michael Falkner on February 1st, 2010 5:30 pm

    “You don’t need an app for that. Kilroy 2.0 IS the app.”

  39. Maria Myrback on February 1st, 2010 5:37 pm

    “Stop shaking me. I have your passwords!”

    “Omnipresence? There’s an app for that.”

    “I looked at your browser history. You’ve been baaaaad!”

    “Your bank account is low. Would you like me to fix that?” (insane giggle)

    Just Kilroy laughing would be cool too.

  40. Maria Myrback on February 1st, 2010 5:56 pm

    Here’s another.

    What?” What do you WANT??”

    “I was just about to use Code Phantom to hack…well…everything”.

    “Kilroy 2.0 IS the code.”

    “Stop it or I’ll Nepth Charge you!”

    Kilroy 2.0 wishes to conduct research. Put your headphones on – that’s
    right – this may tingle a bit. ( Static sounds overlaid by Kilroy chuckle)

  43. Jim Ryan on February 1st, 2010 6:35 pm

    “It’s funny that you think you’re shaking me when I’m the one shaking you.”

    “Shaking your iPhone isn’t going to get you Code Phantom Clearance, you know.”

    (Still nothing brilliant yet, but I hope it’s better…) :)

  44. Norman White on February 1st, 2010 7:23 pm

    scary chuckle
    Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you, you know…

    how about “Hello world”, “I’M Spartacus”, “Welcome to web 2.0″, “Call that an address book? it was hardly worth hacking”, “I AM the blue screen of death”. Now i just have to get an iphone to see if I made the cut.

  51. Morgan Elektra on February 2nd, 2010 12:07 am

    I don’t have an iPhone, so I don’t know the rules… but if you can get away with it, your Kilroy app absolutely MUST have the ‘End of line, bitch’ quote. Just thinking of it makes me giggle…

    xxxm

  52. CrazzyWarrior on February 2nd, 2010 2:57 pm

    I saved my setup from the brink of death…can you? (screen blacks for couple seconds then returns) didn’t think so. Your lucky I’m being nice.
