Pudd’nhead Wilson Says…

Fun

Here’s you’re quotation of the day.

“JULY 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.

–Pudd’nhead Wilson’s Calendar”

I generated the following error…

Fun

I generated the following error message by submitting a specific SQL statement to IBM DB/2. Thus, it’s ineligible for the Crazy Wall of Errors or the anomalisms page but I post it herewith because it’s humorous.

Error: SQL0104 - Token WHITEY was not valid. Valid tokens:

Your word for today is…

Fun

Your word for today is “vituperate”. It means “To rebuke or criticize harshly or abusively; berate.”

E.g, “If I ever meet the man who designed the PeopleSoft Enterprise One Software (formerly known as JDEdwards OneWorld), I shall bury him in a snow of vituperation.”

On a related note, I’m sure Enterprise One is an outstanding value, especially to manufacturing organisations. But programming it is painful. Hence, I’ve come up with a new nickname for the software, “Number One” (as in, “do you have to go number one or number two?”)

Went to the mall this…

Family, Fun

Went to the mall this weekend. It was nuts, there were 85 bazillion people there because it’s been such a warm fall and Saturday was cold. I reckon everone was catching up on his shopping.

We ate at the taste bud extravaganza that is Panda Express. They had a job posted: “Now Hiring: Ass. Manager”. At first I thought maybe they had donkeys trained to prepare the food and wanted somebody to control them, then I thought “Nah, that can’t be it.” Maybe they have a stable of donkeys out back that they’re getting ready to butcher to put into the chicken lo mein. Well, it’s the only tenable theory I have.
