Don't talk to me about time. Time is my business.By the way, does anybody else get this cartoon? Or do you have to be just the right age and just the right shade of geeky?

Actually, I do get it. The final panel is him doing exactly the opposite of what he was saying, keeping silent, because he never does talk about those things, and obsessing.
ACK!
I posted the wrong cartoon.
Take a stab at this one, Brandie.
This one is funnier but doesn't have the unintentional play on coloring

I don't know...oh wait, he is on third.
Sean got it !! 😀
Yep, it took me a minute too when I first saw it. Hard to recognize Abbot and Costello as stick figures.
Pretty sure who is on first.
That's what I'm asking.

Why can I picture something like that actually being buried in the depths of the SQL / SSIS code?One of those little "bored programmer" things that's hidden in a comment somewhere...
I had to build a data scrub the other day for a database we're bringing down from production to our Dev/Test environments. I peppered it with science fiction references because I couldn't be bothered to be more creative. By the time I was finished writing it, I was cackling with mad glee and wondering if any of our testers would get the jokes.
I've been doing similar things in my code of late. Occasionally a question comes back "Are you serious with that code?"
To which I laugh and say yes. 😀
An error message I put into code at a previous employer: Houston, we have a problem.
If they ever see that error in production, they HAVE a problem.

My colleague once put one in reading "The vector has gone south". Of course it had to come up in a presentation to the client's management.

Ok Grant and Gail (others too if you know the answer)...
You guys have a "widget" on your blog that allows the display of certain icons or badges (e.g. MVP and MCM).
What is the tool? I would like to add something like that to my blog.

A Dr. Who reference worked into a classic comedy routine by Abbott and Costello, Gail.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_gSWTQKE-0
Unfortunately, you have to know something about baseball to get the humor.
Brilliant!
