Let the bubblegum chewing begin.  Oh wait, "I'm all outta gum."

You know, I kinda agree with that.  Diablo III has been available for pre-order for a LONG time.

Oh well.  "Shake it baby."

"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Carpenter's "They Live" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/

Worth watching just for the very profound "new sunglasses" scene if nothing else.

It's not Vaporware, it's Undeadware.

...I remember the scene (Don't recall the movie) but I keep thinking it was a Clint Eastwood line.

Roddy Piper says it on entering the bank in the film "They Live". Perhaps he's quoting Eastwood. I only know of Piper saying the line.

edit:
okay, i admit i've got nothing better to do right now: here's the imdb quotes page for They Live...

The "kick ass and chew bubblegum" line was also said by Duke Nukem quite a lot in the 3D game. But it was plagiarized.

Yeah, I found that right after posting (curiosity got me). Come to think of it Eastwood smoked in most of his movies so (for him) the gum line doesn't really track.
