I started coding professionally using Visual Basic (3!). Everybody made fun of VB's On Error Resume Next "solution" to error handling, which basically said if something goes wrong just move on to the next line of code. But apparently nobody knew about On Error Resume, which basically said if something goes wrong just execute the offending line again. This would of course manifest itself as a locked app and usually a rapidly-expanding memory footprint until the computer crashed. Basically the automated version of this meme.

BTW just to defend VB a little bit, you didn't actually have to use On Error Resume Next, you could do On Error Goto errorHandler and then put the errorHandler label at the bottom of your routine (after an Exit Sub) and do actual structured error handling. Not that anybody in the VB world ever actually did this.

Now they are nickel and diming us until the bubble pops and ~~they~~ we have to pay.

She knows her endgame is being buried in an unmarked grave on a golf course.

Youngsters don't realize that people became fucking bored with the Apollo missions after 11. Apollo 13 generated some buzz because the crew was probably going to die, but that's it. Same thing happened with the space shuttle.

In graduate school I used to go out drinking six nights a week, the kind of thing that would start at 5 pm and end at 2 or 3 in the morning at somebody's house doing bong hits. Thirty years later, I would choose waterboarding before I put myself through that again.

I have a 76 year old coworker who does 18 mile runs. He doesn't do marathons because he gets too bored. I console myself with the fact that at least he looks like a pork chop that's been forgotten in the fridge, but it's not much of a consolation.

Lol out loud

You think I hate the Girl Scouts for no reason? No reason at all?

It couldn't possibly be rich parents.

A rule of thumb is that a corporate employee costs their company roughly twice their salary. Probably not very many Oracle employees are making just $37,000 a year.

And he'll be there for all of eternity!

I count two jobs, n****r!
