This one just cracks me up



Poor traumatized kids...

[EX52D]

LOL...I have a very demanding Jack Russell. Brrrr, I can't remember the last time I had to shovel snow.

When even sweat pants aren't comfortable enough - just stay in your flannels.

I see it all the time - it's amazing.

I point and laugh - fyi. But, you Probably knew that.

[najida]

What beautiful babies!

And Santa is perfect.

What if Dr. Seuss wrote technical manuals?

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icons put your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on your cable on the gable at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
"Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
Quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mom!

DD, why is your company holding meetings on Friday? Don't they know you have the OFST to attend?

Your employer needs to get his priorities in order.

[JimWforBush]

Hi Dasher,
How have you been?

[TXBSAFH]

Proud Papa ping

[martin_fierro]

That was in Mountain View, which is looking more and more like gangsta territory.

[EX52D]

Holy crap...someone needs a sandwich...STAT!

Just for Christmas

The Night Before Startup


'Twas the night before startup
and all through the house
not a program was working,
there clicked not a mouse

The users were nestled all snug in their beds
with visions of systems alive in their heads.
The programmers slumped round their screens in despair
and felt that a miracle now would be fair.

Then from the back office there rose such a chatter
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter
and there to my marveling eyes did appear
a wonder programmer ­ with a six pack of beer.

His resume glowed with experience so rare
he turned out great code with that bit-pusher's flair.
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
turning specs into code like a sitcom berserk.

A wink of his eye and a nod of his head
soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
More smoothly than salesmen his programs they come;
he whistled and shouted and called them by name.

On update, on add, on inquire and delete,
on batch jobs, on closing on functions complete.
His eyes all glazed over, hands nimble and lean,
from long days and nights spent in front of a screen.

He tapped and he hammered, he nothing did shirk,
turning specs into code; then he turned with a smirk,
and laying his finger upon Enter key,
the system came up and worked perfectly.

The updates updated, the deletes all deleted,
the inquiries inquired and the closing completed.
He tested each whistle, he tested each bell,
and with nary an append it all had gone well.

The system was finished, the tests were concluded,
the client’s last changes were even included.
Then the user explained in apocalypt font,
"It’s just what I asked for, but not what I want."

[Dashing Dasher]

Just because I am not a church boy doesn't make me a liberal. Not all conservatives are uptight arrogant, stupid scumbags enforcing their brand of religion on others.

THAT'S why I love ya!

[EX52D]

Hey Dasher, how are ya?

[najida]

Did'ja go to bed without supper?
