Yes, it’s true, #clug made it into bash.org’s Quote Database.

From #762910:

<Dave> Question: Is it "right" to stop registered sex offenders from registering on social networking sites?
<highvoltage> Dave: where do you register to become a sex offender?
* Vhata falls off his chair laughing
<Dave> highvoltage: at your local school...
<MrKen> Dave: No, that's where they hold the auditions

I’m MrKen…

Offensively Binary

I just came across Offensively Binary, who stock a wide selection of shirts with offensive slogans in binary. Ideal for those who like wearing offensive shirts, but have other halves or children that object ;-)

The IT Crowd

Geek Stuff, Humour, TV 1 Comment »

Last night I finally got around to watching the first episode of The IT Crowd. As Mark Hoekstra says, it’s very funny - even my non-geek wife enjoyed it (although she thought they should include more geek content!). Heck, any show that has a camel (from the Camel Book) stuck on a cupboard has to score at least some points with the geek community.

‘Best Blonde Joke Ever’ Meme

Humour, Memes 1 Comment »

Atrus has done some quite interesting analysis of the ‘best blonde joke ever’ meme, one of the sillier ones that’s done the rounds of late (and boy, has it done the rounds). Heck, even Robert Scoble has felt the effects (thanks to him for the previous link).

It’s quite interesting to track the meme’s history and to read the comments of those getting frustrated at not ever actually getting to the joke (and yes, I’ll admit it took me a few links to catch on).

Just say no to door-to-door tattoo salesmen!

This story from TheKansasCityChannel.com is almost too funny to be true - Woman With Tattoo From Homemade Gun Got Sick.

“It was wrapped with black tape, had a pin underneath it, had fishing wire going through it, you could tell it was a homemade gun,” Eason said.

The mind boggles at the thought of someone selling tattoos door-to-door with homemade equipment, never mind some idiot actually taking him up on the offer.

Everybody loves Eric Raymond

Jonathan Hitchcock just pointed me in the direction of Everybody loves Eric Raymond, a weekly comic strip poking fun at RMS, ESR and Linus. It’s pretty funny ;-)
