Can't stop the signal

I found my hobbies had become unmanageable

I tried serial monogamy, but it was too soggy with milk

If AIs can act, will they form Turing companies?

I like most of these.

Your post reminded me that I've come up with a new slogan, which is sort of the mate to one of your classics: "It's you and me against the world. When do we attack?"

My answer" "It's you and me against the world. We attack at dawn!"

And now I'm trying to come up with a version that isn't just for morning people.

We've already seen that. Incubus with William Shatner speaking bad Esperanto.

"Never let the facts stand in the way of a joke."

"It's you and me against the world. When do we attack?"
"Not till after coffee."

There's a toupee/to pay joke in the Wallace and Grommit movie, but I'd collected that joke from taglinesgalore.com first.

I didn't think of this as a "morning person" type of slogan. It's just that "We attack at noon!" or "We attack at sunset!" didn't seem to have the same classical ring to them, and historically very few attacks were launched at midnight. :-)

I didn't exactly see it as an explicit morning person slogan, but when I started turning over in my mind, it seemed to me that the appeal could be widened.

I agree that dawn is a reasonable time for an attack--probably in part because you're hoping that the enemy isn't quite awake yet.

Here's the one I want:

"I'm going to the special hell..."

Is that the whole quote? What was the context?

Bear in mind, also, that there are two ways to see the dawn; by rising early, and by staying up really late. :-)

It's from Firefly, an episode when Captain Reynolds attempts to take advantage of an underaged woman, after the preacher warns him that there is a "special hell" for those who do so.
