Have you seen the Action Item comic? This may be the pinnacle of this sort of nonsense.

I think Action Item really takes it to the next level-- a good example of a vendor who's really uniquely qualified to deliver best-of-breed services 24/7, 365.

You found me out. My source for all the above buzzwords was Meeting Bingo, almost exclusively. Great VISION, Patrick, and TACTICS to support your STRATEGY.

I just invited you to be my friend. I want as many friends as possible who can make me laugh. Victor Borge said, "laughter is the closest distance between two people."

"best of breed services" is a new one on me. I kinda like it. If I use that, should I quote you, Patrick? Thanks for another fun sentence.

I'd hate to be quoted on that one! Fortunately I didn't make that one up- think I heard it at a conference or trade show ("So, your email filter is some kind of livestock, then?"). I used to have a colleague who used all of the cliches- wanted to throttle him every time he said "first to market, best in class." I did ask him once how many clients in the same industry he thought he could promise to do that for... went right by him. Guess he couldn't DO THE MATH...
