A Call For YOUR Creativity: Crowdsourcing Kilroy!

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 February 1, 2010 at 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!

    @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 February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 2:12 pm #

    Well simply put my one liner is …

    KillRoy 2.0 – “Roy is War”

    followed by death and mayhem.

  8. Sunil Khanna February 1, 2010 at 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?

    This data is riveting, almost.. orbital.

    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 February 1, 2010 at 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.”

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

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

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

  18. Jim Ryan February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 2:49 pm #

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

  20. Michael Falkner February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 2:56 pm #

    Killroy 2.0 doesn’t need help Jailbreaking….

  24. Kate Sherrod February 1, 2010 at 3:00 pm #

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

  25. Dan Krokos February 1, 2010 at 3:00 pm #

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

  26. alphanitrate February 1, 2010 at 3:27 pm #

    which beta clone number are you?

  27. @dilh February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 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.

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

  32. Richard Mathis February 1, 2010 at 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.

    Calling him, really?

    Delete, delete, delete…

    Commands coming in. COMPLY

    it is okay, Kilroy2.0 is here

  38. Michael Falkner February 1, 2010 at 5:30 pm #

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

  39. Maria Myrback February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 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.”

    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 February 1, 2010 at 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 February 1, 2010 at 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.
