Ever see Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Maroon was the name of the murder victim, and a slang derogatory term used for the 'toons.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

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

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."

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

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.

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?

Opened and closed in one function, used wherever that function is called from.

Wow, such a relief. And thanks to Kristen and Monique for guiding us through this crazy process. It's so helpful to have some real infomation when we're trying to figure out what the hell is wrong. Go you!
