Back in the day when you were the chipmunk, I used the Joker Avatar that you are now using. Hmmm. ....
Feel free to be a Chipmunk, or JarJar Bing. 🙂
Whoosa this Bing fella, hmmm? JarJar is Binks, notsa Bing.
Oops, didn't get enough sleep last night. 🙁
Great, now I'm picturing Jar Jar in Bing Crosby's role in White Christmas.
How does that go?
Isa dreaming of a Whitesa Christmas?

If Lucas has his way, I'm sure you'll find out before long. He'll be re-releasing every movie he can with Jar Jar in a starring role. The man is mad, mad I tell you!

I have yet to taste anything on the internet - bits just don't seem to be worth the effort.

I want to bring up the age old question related to books.
If you were to buy a SQL book, what would you buy? If there is a topic you wanted to learn about, what is it? Is there a good book on the topics you want most to learn?

Something must be seriously wrong with me if I don't find it funny at all.

Maybe some of you Americans can help me understand it.

It's an old, tired joke, that keeps getting pulled off of life support and surviving somehow.

"MR MICE" = "'em are mice" ("them are mice", "those are mice" but spoken by an illiterate with a regional dialectic accent)

"MR NOT" = "'em are not" ("they are not")

"OSAR" = "oh 'es 'ey are" ("oh yes they are")

"CM EDBD FEET" = "see 'em itty bitty feet?" ("itty bitty" = "really small", colloquialism)

"LIB" = "'ell I be" ("well, I be", statement of shock and realization)

"MR MICE" = "'em are mice"

You have to be about 8 years old to think it's all that funny, but at the same time, the ancient Summerians probably told the same joke, but in cuneiform, and instead of Arkansas, it was probably Egyptians they made fun of.

Yes but I used DBCC TIMEWARP to get it and Windows will be complete in 2071 - hence no gaps 😀
