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?
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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.

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.

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

Also just got the joke now.
And woohoo on the fewer connections.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I quailed at actually calling myself a moron. Plus, maroon funnier. And conversation generating.
Bad natterer. Shutting up now.

Are the connections opened, used and closed all in one PHP function?
