There was a fairly intricate debate on an early version of this posted to bluesky, the contention being over whether OR was sufficient. I think the ORs have it, but XOR is a funnier word, so there.

    Not if they’re citing Duke Nukem, which is probably more well known for the phrase at this point than They Live.

      I admit I had to look it up, but Duke Nukem, in a horrible misquote/steal said: “It’s time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I’m all out of gum.” So not only did he get the order of actions wrong, but messed with the opening as well :D

      Also I thought Duke Nukem never released!!

          as per your link:

          Origin While many believe the quote originated from the video game Duke Nukem 3D, it actually comes from the 1988 movie

          so I guess you’ll supply more evidence.

          [or] what are you waiting for? Christmas?

            I know and never debated the origin of the phrase. I was providing evidence that the order used in the comic is well known itself and not a misquote as indicated by your initial comment.
