with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Wonderful news!

I think rather than returning the RQG to its former state, we should (as Jon B., I think, suggested) set up a cron job to change the quote daily. That way, we don't get sick of the "Woodstock" quote but there's no "I'm just hitting refresh to cycle through the quotes" usage either.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Huzzah! And thanks, Kristen, Monique, and assorted host/server guys I don't know for having the time and patience to help us sort through this properly.

Nobody

I didn't get that joke until I was 20 or 21. I am a dolt.

I didn't realize it was a joke to get until you said that just now.

would someone explain it to this maroon?

I wonder if the RQG was resposible for leaking MySQL connections? Anyone with the source code want to take a look and see?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Ever see Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Maroon was the name of the murder victim, and a slang derogatory term used for the 'toons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Rob, there was nothing that would leak connections there any more than in any of the code. Either it triggered a bug, or all the connections were legitimately being eaten.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

would someone explain it to this maroon?

It's a corruption of the word "moron".

All is well that ends in pizza.

Classic Bugs Bunny (and other WB cartoons, I believe) also said of foolish people "What a Maroon!" which is where the WFRR? character got his name.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Classic Bugs Bunny (and others, I believe) also said of foolish people "What a Maroon!"

Heh. That's how this conversation got started, with the Bugs ref. As DXM notes, it's a slangy corruption of moron.

hip deep in pie

I didn't get that joke until I was 20 or 21. I am a dolt.

Also just got the joke now.

And woohoo on the fewer connections.
