2112!

At first, I was wondering what was supposed to happen in November:D
It reminds me when a buddy of mine was leaving for a different job and left his computer unlocked. I changed the localization settings to French. He was trying to get a report done before he left, and all the dates got switched around. He 'fixed' about half of them before he realized what had happened.
I ended up with a fish filed (incorrectly) in my files on the Friday before a three day weekend. My office smelled interesting by the time I got back in there on Tuesday.
I got my fish filed Friday. Stat.
I got my fish filed filleted and fried, Friday, friend.
friday is the fried day for fish
It is lent
If a fish is lent...do you really want it back?
depends what it was lent against. A nice pile of chips and some mushy peas? Definitely.
Mushy peace?
Why are you eating mushy peas, anyways?
What is Yorkshire? Is it like New York?Quote:
Hadoop actually sounds more like the way they greet each other in Yorkshire - Inferrd
New York has their own language too.

I honestly tried watching the original "The Office" and it was absolute garbage.
I also thought that about the American remake for the first season too.
Massachusettes has several different accents and strange phrases.
Not so much in the states north of there.
Those are all wicked different.
I heard that the worst is in Texas
An accent that my wife absolutely loathes is something that I've dubbed "mumble twang".

Maybe Dollywood, actually, which is just north of Gatlinburg.
Oh Yes I have been there! you close your eyes, open your ears and you know that you are in Scotland and nowhere else ;)Quote:

One of the benefits of a prolonged winter is that crawfish season gets stretched.
The term 'dogs dinner' comes to mind, when looking at that image.Quote:

I never went there, because I'm pretty sure they were getting crayfish from the Snake River, as they were along a stretch of that river, and there wasn't an obvious alternative place they could have come from. They were in a desert, so bodies of water were not exactly common....and cows ARE common. I wasn't interested in eating anything that came out of that stretch of that river.
For me it was more "stand back, I'm going in". But you American's have desert for breakfast, weirdos :pQuote:

I will say that I got very spoiled living in the Lake Charles area because we could buy pond crawfish from central Louisiana (Opelousas, Mamou, etc.). But now that I'm living in the Thibodaux area, we basically only get spillway crawfish.
The crawfish raised in ponds (which were actually rice fields earlier in the year) are sooooooo much cleaner than from the spillways.
You pretend like we have cakes made in a pan for breakfast or something.Quote:

It doesn't take long to spoil in the southern heat.Quote:

Be sure you bring coins.
I've got the pylons coming through tomorrow.
Lay off the Easter eggs then.
Lay off them? Can you even find them?
Happy Dyngus Day!
Ya dyngus
What character on that TV show used to say that.
Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons.
AH! I see says the blind man.
I see said the blind carpenter as he put down his hammer and saw.
Basic
I am going to make the assertion that BASIC is better than VB6. From what I have read on the various threads in this forum, VB6 is better than VB.NET. Ergo, BASIC is better than VB.NET.
Checkmate VB.NET
In the words of Eleanor Shellstrop, "Ya Basic"
Yes! Basic forever ! maybe, Gaouser would manage to code something useful with it :D
psh, nothing is better than fictional VB7. Heck, I've heard that it cures cancer.
I'm on vacation staying at a house beside a field with a flock of goats. They're quite entertaining. Last evening, as we were sitting on the patio, a gal walking by called over to say there was a small goat following her. I went out and retrieved the goat and returned it to the pasture from whence it escaped.
I'm not kidding around, either.
