Hooray for a Blonder Half!

[azurelunatic]

He's no plans to see Snakes on a Plane. Alas! Geeking about work ensued. "You're still debasing yourself? ... So you mean to say you're excelling at it."

So I gave a certain blonder half a link to a certain Darth Vader costume. I did not know that he made noises like that. It was funny.

At about that point, his computer froze up, and he had to restart. Most of the problems with that box are caused by overheating, as there is only one small fan, and no place to put a bigger one. He thought his father would not listen on the topic of replacing the tower, as "oldus geezerus" (his terminology) is stubborn. Darkside inherited his own stubborn from his old man.

"So that makes you the child class, then?" I snickered.
"No ... that makes me the Psycho Class. I'm called by Hitchcock."
"And what do you return?"
"Pure terror."
"You know, the Psycho Class could call the Best Friend Class once in a while."
"I'm afraid I don't have enough memory for that."

Well, pure terror is something you should expect when you call a class' constrictor. (Although I'm sure some would take exception, even then.)

/me throws a boa

[pauamma]

At least, you're not programming in Python.

[azurelunatic]

Work uses .ASP more often.

[pauamma]

Probably a good thing. I doubt even a python could stomach the puns.

[azurelunatic]

I dunno -- my milk snake brings all the boas to the yard.

[pauamma]

Perhaps because you have a stranglehold on the market?

[azurelunatic]

A monopoly is no choking matter!

[pauamma]

True. It rattles would-be entrants, though.

[azurelunatic]

I get cotton-mouth just thinking about dealing with some of the nasty code possibilities.

[pauamma]

And I think with that, we just about cobra'd all the possible puns.

[azurelunatic]

It herps me when you say things like that! Don't gloss over all the corny refereces that can be made to these guys!

[pauamma]

Well, maybe. Living where you are, you obviously have readier access to economies of scale.

[azurelunatic]

Slithering under the geographical defence again?

[pauamma]

Well, yes. OTOH, garter is a species in North America, a genus in Africa, and an order in (parts of) Europe. So I guess it all balances out.

[azurelunatic]

I'm really too much a spinster to properly know what to do with garters.

[pauamma]

Give them a leg up, of course.

[pauamma]

And since that pun duel appears to be over, shall I say... fangs for the memories?

[azurelunatic]

This is excellent work on a theme, one of the shortcomings mentioned on your review.

[azurelunatic]

Picture me bouncing and singing "I traumatized the bondmate! With Darth Hello Kitty!" to the tune of "nanny nanny boo-boo".
