***************************************************I am officially going to Afghanistan!
I leave for IRDO at Camp Atterbury in Indiana on Sunday, June 23rd. All should go well there with me leaving there on Friday, June 28th to go to theater via Kuwait. I should arrive in Afghanistan on or about July 2nd!
Please take care of the TitD and the Guard Hippo in my absence.
Depending on the reliability of the Internet connection there I will try to make visits here.

Oh my! And I understand you're looking forward to getting extended to 12 months. It must be an awesome gig.
Be safe, ol' friend.

I will explain...No, to explain will take too long. I will sum up.
The Doctor is on first.
The enemy's gate is down.
You'll have to sum up with the Inigo Montoya t-shirt
I still need to watch that movie start to end some day. Bought it just for that purpose.
How can you not have seen that movie start to end? Wait - do you have six fingers!?
Or maybe he's just a Scicilian trying to beat you in a game of wits?
You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...
My favorite line of that came from a Star Trek Book. "You fell for one of the classic blunders, The most famous of which is "Never get involved in a war on Vulcan", but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Ferengi when Money's on the line!".

I can only imagine what it must be like to have SQL Server running in some non-English language. MS probably translated the obtuse into the indecipherable.Maybe the error messages are perfect in other languages, and it's only when in English that they become so obtuse.
That makes a lot of sense. It does seem like some of the error messages where written in Swahili first and then translated to English by a non-native speaker. 🙂
More likely the base language is Klingon.
BTW, Sean, it is called kiSwahili. You'd come across as quite rude if you call it Swahili. Just had to mention it in case you ever make it to Kenya or Tanzania.
Thanks for clarifying. Being an ugly American I am sure I would come across as rude for something. 😀

I was in a brass quintet that one of the local churches hired to do the music for their first communion, and when the priest started talking, he sounded *exactly* like that. We almost got fired, we were laughing so hard...they really should have warned us...

In Denver, I take it?
No. Can't travel that far on this short notice. Plus other travel plans this summer.

It slipped my attention that it was in London this week and it appears I've missed the boat. I've added myself to the waiting list just in case!
