Stuff I found that was funny.
Aryan Fever
Someone from Taiwan told me their sister isn’t digging some guy because he’s Asian and she’s not into Asians.
This, of course, reminded me of “Yellow Fever.” What’s weird about that mockumentary is that it isn’t about “Yellow Fever” since that’s when a white guy is digging some East Asian girl.
What do you call it when a asian girl only goes out with white guys?
I asked my good friend Redgee for what they call it—after all, if anyone should know it should be a Filipino. 😀
First he suggested “twinkie” but that wasn’t quite right. He didn’t know so he coined the term “Aryan Fever.”

Luke Welling’s OSCON wrap up reminded me of an incident.
No, not about my battles with Tourette’s, or, should I say, people confusing honest fucking programming frustration with Coprolalia. 😀Continue reading
PHP Sucks
Chris notes that Theo has posted his Six Reasons PHP Sucks PHP Lightning Talk.
My favorite part:
Reason # 4: User comments on the online documentation.
Allows PHP to expose what are perhaps the worst most dysfunctional and retarded code samples.
Reason #5: PEAR.
Allows PHP to expose what are perhaps the worst most dysfunctional and retarded code…
…in an easily downloadable/installable format
If you aren’t laughing, you haven’t used PHP.

I look like my dog
Dassi sent me the winners of the “I Look Like My Dog” contest which was sponsored by Cesar Dog Food.
Clearly these were well produced and I have a feeling that this was not a “contest” at all.
I love the photography. I love the classic portrait lighting and the matching expressions the photographer managed to get out of the models. Excellent!
stem cell fun
“…just as I am in favor of mandatory abortions (and, of course, recreational abortions), I am in favor of mandatory embryo harvesting. Actually, that doesn’t go far enough I want to create embryos, develop them in a lab, wait until they become fully-formed 14-year-olds (which they absolutely, positively will do in the lab), then steal their organs to give to gay people as wedding presents.”

A series of tubes
Ted Stevens gives us his “wisdom” on the issue of network neutrality:
“They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck.
It’s a series of tubes.
And if you don’t understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material…
Ten movies streaming across that internet and what happens to your own personal internet? I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?

Cats that look like what?
Their term for it: “Kitlers!”
Whupass
I was just thinking about how microbrews and other drinks try to come up with clever brand names. How come nobody has called theirs whupass beer? The beauty is instead of bottling it, it’d be most popular in can form.
Think about it: “Pass me a can of whupass.” “Don’t make me open this can of whupass.”
If anyone ever comes out with this, remember you heard it here first. (I’d like a six-pack in lieu of the rights.)

A decisive victory…
Concerning the recent Hamden v. Rumsefeld decision:
“I’ve got to say that this decision is a decisive victory in the war to spark ridiculous right wing commentary.”
