Post Race!

Did you go to a pun school ?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I think it's genetic, actually. My sister even has a button that states: "I have a punning clan!"

[Niya]

A punning sister ? So you mean there's a Shaggy Hikess ? Two of you are just too much! One of you is more than enough

[Shaggy Hiker]

She occasionally comes around here, too, though not for a few years I would say. She actually worked for MS in the VB division, though that was many years ago by now.

[Niya]

Oh...she's a coder too ?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Retired. I doubt she's written anything in a decade (well, not code anyways, though she does write), though I haven't asked. She was more of a translation manager. I never fully understood it, as she didn't do the actual translation (they used native speakers for that), but she oversaw translation, and had systems that would boot into half a dozen different languages in her office. I only speak English, so it was all greek to me.

Hey y'all I'm in Vegas! That's why I ain't been on, just lettin y'all know.

[szlamany]

It's supposed to stay in Vegas - wait till the front desk finds out...

[FunkyDexter]

So you mean there's a Shaggy Hikess ?

Does she sport the same magnificent facial hair?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Fortunately not.

[dday9]

Can you repeat that?

[dday9]

Uh oh, Dday9 is too.

[dday9]

He also came back from Vegas!

[Niya]

Vegas!!! Gamble much ?

[dday9]

Not really I lost $35 altogether. My wife's grandmother gambled $800, but won $1800 on one pull.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Whenever I hear of people coming back from Vegas, they tend to only mention winnings. In fact, if everybody who reported winnings was being completely honest then Vegas would have been bankrupt decades ago. Somebody has to be losing. There's a guy in the office who goes there a few times a year. Based on his reported net take, there isn't much point in him having any other occupation.

I was on a cruise one time with a gal who won a bundle. It was considerably more than the cost of the cruise plus air fare plus extras. Of course, she was just one out of hundreds, and may have been the only one. As for the rest...the house is probably still standing just fine.

Last time I went to vegas, I won big, too: Half a dozen t-shirts, some other toys, and a $500 phone. Of course, that was a developers conference rather than gambling. Some pretty fine pizza was had, too (pretty fine = edible + free + abundant).

[dday9]

I had a blast, we took the limo ride around town and saw all the sites. We also saw Sir Elton John in concert as well as Criss Angel Cirque du Soleil. I didn't really care for Criss Angel to much, even though I loved his TV show. I also took the Bodies exhibit at the Luxor and absolutely loved it! The best part of the whole vacation though... I got to sleep. Not just sleep, but sleep without being bothered.

So that's why Post Race has been lonely

[dday9]

I imagine it has been. We're only on post number 51,757 and we hit the 50k mark a good while back!

[dday9]

Oh wow, you've long passed me up! I'm about 300 post behind.

[Niya]

Yea slow poke! I'm on fire!!!

[dday9]

Burning angel!

[dday9]

Coder on fire!

[dday9]

Fire on coder!
