Very entertaining. I do 99% of my job in vim over PuTTy. Ugh.

That’s what I was getting at…People make up these crazy rules about what’s “clean” or “unclean” but dead animal is dead animal, I don’t think god would really make a distinction that it’s okay to kill one animal, but not okay to kill another…the 10 commandments doesn’t say “Thy shall not murder a, b, c and d, but can murder e, f and g….”

While all meat is inherently biological, and nothing biological can be clean in the sense that it is totally free of “contaminants”…the sense of unclean I was referring to is the kosher/Adventist perspective on clean vs. unclean meats.

No pork, shellfish or un-hoofed ungulates among other restrictions.

And frankly, the concept that God approves of one kind of dead creature consumption over another strikes me as dumb. At best.

vi is a screen-oriented text editor for UNIX derived operating systems. vi also has a VERY useful command line level interface for text processing if you don’t want to cludge your way through awk, sed, grep and regular expressions.

PuTTY is an OLD school rlogon/telnet/ssh client for windows (among many other things) useful for logging into remote Secure SHell sessions.

I spent a long time working on a Mac, and not needing PuTTY. Since returning to the Microsoft side of the fence, PuTTY has been my primary working tool.

And Toad. And Cygwin. And WinSCP.

I’ve spent a LOT of time in the last two weeks writing PL/SQL procedures, Perl scripts for ETL and Java communication serverlets.

I’m pretty sure I’ll spend the entire week this week writing SQL scripts to automate schema upgrades and then doing some performance tuning in multi-terabyte filespaces. Currently everything in the star schema I’m working on is tuned pretty much the opposite way it should be.

“If your star schema is tuned for writes, you’re doing it wrong.” – me

If you really think about it, isn’t all meat unclean???

Making yourself realize that you are worthy of love, is the first step to finding real love, whether you find the princess or she finds you, if you don’t think you’re worhty, it’s never going to be a happily ever after ending.

I just googled vi over PuTTY. Now I’m really confused.

You are freakin’ hilarious. While my abs already hurt today from an intense football game a few nights ago, my sides REALLY hurt now after reading your stuff.

Regarding #13, I think Hooters is creepy too and I even like to look at fake breasts (not as in attracted to them [not that there's anything wrong with that], but more out of curiosity). Anyway, I had a friend in college whose mother worked for Hooters (not as a waitress…some kind of office job), and she was adament that it was a family restaurant. I was pretty naive back then, but not that naive.

Incidentally regarding the #13, I lived on the 14th floor of my dorm for a couple of years but it was actually the 13th floor. I think it would have been cool to say that I lived on the 13th floor.

I really enjoyed your list. So clever!

Lara my dear,

Whatever services I have to give are always at your disposal. Night or Day, Near or Far, Freely Given if Freely Recieved.

The answer is yes before you ever need to ask the question.

Ah, number 32…

Four hour, duel-faith ceremony that had to have cost as much as a small house.

Two hours into the reception the bride found the groom (without pants) in a small room with two members of the bridal party (also without pants/skirts/whatever).

Bride then sets the marriage license on fire. By law, I imagine the marriage was unconsummated, unregistered and never legally happened. For wedding guests it was perhaps the strangest six hours ever. As I saw it, wedding was four hours, marriage was two.

Nothing, NOT EVER, would make you undeserving of love. Even damaged people find soulmates. And honestly? We’re all damaged somehow. Some just hide it better than others.

Ok, PLEASE explain #32. How exactly does a marriage end after two hours? My curiosity is getting the better of me here!
