News 14 Carolina should’ve known better

(Been sitting on this link for a while, just haven’t had a chance to post it, so ignore the fact that everybody and their dog has probably already posted it). News 14 Carolina should have known better. They made the mistake of using an automated system for that posted school and business closure information across the bottom of the screen. Thanks to some pranksters on the WolfWeb board, hilarious information started to appear across the bottom of the screen. Some of the closures: “Tutone Inc., Closed Thursday and Friday, Call Jenni at 867-5309”, “Cecil’s Cockring emporium, Back up Tomorrow”, “Bring ’em Young Daycare, Closed Friday, Contact R. Kelly for details” and “Windows 32 Exception Error, if this is the first time you’re seeing this, please reinstall Windows.”

There are a few sites with screen-shots of the mess here, here, and here. Full story on the mess here and here.

But really, when they let things run unmoderated, they get what they deserve.

The worst last name for a cop

This guys’s a police chief. He’s trying to convince his city to create medical marijuana guidelines. His name is Kenneth Thrailkill. His last name is pronounced “Thrill Kill”. Tip via Barney.

A novel idea: Same-person marriage

Another brilliant commentary from Barney:

Same-sex marriage? That’s so 2001. Okay, 2002.

I want to promote same-person marriage.

That’s right. I want to marry MYSELF. Me, myself and I — my goodness, it’s almost a menage a trois!

I love me, as all good, right-thinking people should. I’m my best friend. I’ve known me all my life, sometimes, ahem, in that personal way people only really get to know themselves.

I try to take good care of myself. (Not always succeeding, but I do try). And I forgive myself when I don’t. I try to be honest with myself, because I deserve it.

When I look in the mirror, I see a right handsome dude. Others can’t see in me what I see in myself. We have a special bond, and even look fondly on “Me and My Shadow,” especially when we’re strolling down the avenue. Like SNL’s Stuart Smalley said, “I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough and Doggone It, People Like Me” — so why shouldn’t I pay myself the ultimate compliment, and marry me? (If I’m good enough for myself, that is.)

So I think I’ll head to the county clerk’s office. If two people of the same sex can legally marry, why can’t I marry myself? I want to hear the preacher say, “I now pronounce you … you.”

Haven’t you ever just loved something you did, said or … performed, enough to say, “Boy, I sure love me right now!” Why not be able to profess that love to the whole world?

Now, isn’t that special? (No, not a ‘special right’ – a special ME!;-)

“Do you send out Free Porn?”

I’m sure this lady is going to unsubscribe from my mailing list for saying this, but I’m not mentioning her name, I just got a kick out of this. She e-mails me the following: “This might sound very bad, but do you send people who subscribed free porn?”

I told her I would — if she asked really nice.

She thought it was a funny joke, and she’s still on the list — last I checked.

How To Write Unmaintainable Code

Programmers out there will appreciate this:

In the interests of creating employment opportunities in the Java programming field, I am passing on these tips from the masters on how to write code that is so difficult to maintain, that the people who come after you will take years to make even the simplest changes. Further, if you follow all these rules religiously, you will even guarantee yourself a lifetime of employment, since no one but you has a hope in hell of maintaining the code. Then again, if you followed all these rules religiously, even you wouldn’t be able to maintain the code!

Priceless.

Another Unfortunate URL

And it’s for a Baptist Church, of all things. Link via Davezilla, who also links to a pile of other great ones, like Speedo Fart.

“If you’re over the age of 40…

there’s a good chance your computer isn’t the problem.” It couldn’t possibly be the really-damn old version of Windows the old folks are running. Link via NTK.

Mars to US: Yankee, Go Home!

I’m starting to believe that the folks on Mars aren’t enjoying us being there:

Fun with Drive-Thrus

“Can’t come to work boss, I’m too stiff”

A possible side affect of Cialis, another Viagra-like pill for men who can’t get it up, could “experience an erection for more than 4 hours.” Yikes! I can only imagine how that’d affect a normal day. Thanks Barney for the tip — why he knew this I don’t know, but he claims to have seen it on TV.
