I was on the computer, listening to my little siblings watching The Jetsons in the background. One character, the Jetsons' daughter Cindy, proclaimed that, "If I never see Cosmo again, I'll die!"
I turned to Dad.
"If I said that, I'd get smacked."
His answer?
"If you said that, I'd faint."
"I know. You'd faint and Mom would smack me."

Fresh Toast
Exchanges between a space-case little brother (LB) and myself as I ask him what he wants for dinner (proof that he's a little boy):
Me: Would you like fresh bread or plain toast?
LB: Fresh toast, please.
Me: What would you like to eat?
LB: Buttered toast -toasted, please.

Software and Cars Don't Mix
When your car crashes, aren't you glad that software engineers don't write the deployment software? For instance, if:
Microsoft wrote it: "Are you really sure you want to deploy your airbags?"
Apple wrote it: "You can only enable airbags on up to five separate cars connected to your account."
Linux devs wrote it: "Couldn't find the drivers!"
UNIX devs wrote it: "What's a 'crash'?"
If the deployment code was written in Java, it would take 30 seconds to deploy.
If the deployment code was written in HTML, each car maker would deploy the airbags differently.

Java...
You know why they named the Java programming language 'Java'? It's because you can start it compiling, go brew yourself a pot of coffee, drink a cup of coffee, drink another cup of coffee, go to the bathroom, and then get back to your desk before it finishes.
I hate Java. Or couldn't you tell?

Of laws...
Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong - at the worst possible time, and in the worst possible way.
O'Toole's Law: Murphy was an optimist.

Oh no!
I was watching the Winter Olympics last night. Speed skating. Ohno (Oh no!) was part of it. The announcers were always saying 'Apollo Anton Ohno', 'Apollo Anton Ohno' 'til Durth Dearth asked, "Is there another Apollo Fred Ohno that we might get confused with him?"

The Dark Lords Are Here!
Well, it was about time that we did this. By 'we' of course, I mean myself - the Dark Lord Durth Cynic - and my apprentices, Durth Sardonic and Durth Dearth. Of course, we are always looking for new recruits - how could we not? - but we offer a much better retirement plan than the Sith. No power-hungry apprentices looking to kill you here! Of course, you must be able to withstand verbal abuse to join. There's a reason why we have our names.
Come one, come all, and join in the absolutely punny enjoyment as we make fun of all things.
