Fun at the Office

Me and a buddy of mine at work, hung up whiteboards for our boss in his office. Before we put the second one up however, we decided to have some fun with him. Ah, the things you can do with electrical tape. It actually took him a couple seconds to realize it wasn’t real. “Oh cool! They hung up the other….oh.”

Linux Geeks vs Windows Geeks

I’ve worked in both Windows and Linux shops, and there are subtle differences between the geekdom peasants in each. I’ve collected the ones I’ve noticed from my own experiences, and made a list out of them. (I’m skipping the obvious technological differences.) Keep in mind that I’m basing this list on the geeks I know in my little corner of the world, so your mileage may vary. 😉

Windows Geeks go to Vegas for Blackjack.
Linux Geeks go to Vegas for Cirque du Soleil.

Windows Geeks drink coffee.
Linux Geeks drink super caffeinated soft drinks.

Windows Geeks watch football.
Linux Geeks watch soccer.

Windows Geeks eat Fish and Chips.
Linux Geeks eat Sushi.

Windows Geeks drive Hybrids.
Linux Geeks drive Bio-diesel Mercs.

Windows Geeks jog.
Linux Geeks play Wii Sports.

Windows Geeks play World of Warcraft.
Linux Geeks play World of Warcraft. (Oh. Wait. That’s the same.)

So in the end, it appears that the thing that unites us is WoW. Is there anything that game can’t do? Hmmm, now that I think more about it, there’s a bunch more things Windows and Linux Geeks have in common. I think I’ll do that list tomorrow. 😀

Garfield Minus Garfield

In case you haven’t already heard, there’s a site called Garfield Minus Garfield where the author Photoshops out Garfield in each strip with hillarious results. The Garfield comic strip becomes totally about Jon, who appears Manic Depressive and Schizophrenic. Here’s an example :

Parody of ABC Democratic Debates

ABC SHITHEAD: Senator Obama, are you a racist elitist Marxist who hates the flag?
OBAMA: No, and what does that have to do with anything?
CLINTON: I’m not saying that Obama is a racist elitist Marxist or anything, but boy, doesn’t he sound like a racist elitist Marxist?
ABC SHITHEAD: Answer the question, Senator. Which are you? Racist, elitist, or Marxist?
OBAMA: You realize this is retarded, right?
ABC SHITHEAD: But you didn’t answer the question.
OBAMA: It’s a stupid question. You know it’s a stupid question.
CLINTON: I’m not saying we shouldn’t be discussing actual policy issues, but wow, how about all the bad people Obama has met at one point or another?
OBAMA: This is idiotic.
ABC SHITHEAD: Let’s move on. Senator Clinton, I note since we’ve spent so much time discussing Senator Obama’s ties to terrorism and how he hates America that you haven’t had nearly as much chance to talk as he has. Would you like to make up that difference in the policy section later?
CLINTON: Yes, please. I’m all about the issues.

I found this on another blog that is quite entertaining HERE.
