Since you sir, have made the first hack the planet joke, you are now contractually obligated to fulfill your promise because:

1)You have met and are currently co-located with yourself.

You are the first person to make a "Hack the Planet" joke.

Therefore, it is your duty and task to kick your ass forthwith.

Yours truly,
