10 years of Facebook humour
While most of my posts are pictures (funny pictures, persona pictures, memes, etc.), I’ve also got lots of funny text posts. I got a chuckle out of reading them again, so I thought I’d share them here for others to enjoy!
Here they are, sorted from newest to oldest:
If you want to rapidly get through a crowded area, just carry a clipboard and try to make eye contact with people. People will give you space….fast ;-)
Jeff: Our new IT guy moved here from Australia. Me: Oh, really? Jeff: Yeah, he comes from a LAN down under.
Went out and picked up some fried chicken. Thought it’d be the most appropriate food to eat while watching the US election ;-)
Turned back the regular clocks 1 hour this morning. My two binary clocks? Just had to turn them back a bit ;-)
Cooking a Thanksgiving dinner is more about organizational skills than anything else. I’ve optimized the list of tasks and subtasks so that everything is done at exactly the same time with an offset of 15 seconds for each one to allow for easy transfer. This is why you need to have Microsoft Project loaded somewhere in your kitchen people!
Tonight’s WWITPRO was pretty neat - it was a sort of like a wine tasting party, but instead of wine, we passed around a ton of laptop models that Dell provided. “This one has a nice carbon fibre texture and build quality, and the feint smell of a 6th gen i7” ;-)
I asked Siri, “Surely it isn’t going to rain tomorrow?” And she replied, “Yes it will, and don’t call me Shirley.” Turns out I left Airplane mode on….
I should open a bar that serves nothing but alcoholic apple cider drinks, and has free Wi-Fi. I could call it “Ciderspace” ;-)
Every time I buy coffee grinds, they always make a big deal about the coffee being “ethically sourced” - I should open my own coffee company, where all of the coffee is “un-ethically sourced” - I could call it “Bad Ass Coffee” and make a fortune :D
Today, I showed someone (not saying who) a job ad for a “Senior Mobile Developer” position. Their reaction was “I’d love to apply for that job, but I’m not a senior.” It took them a few seconds after my very obvious WTF expression to see what they misunderstood. I’ve never seen anyone turn that many shades of red before :D
OMG…..I couldn’t take a pic of it because I was on the road, but I just saw the same model of car we had growing up pimped out on Hwy 24: a 1984 Plymouth Voyager minivan with a custom “fire” paintjob, intake vents and slim alloy wheels - and the seats inside were redone with red velvet. I’m so glad I wasn’t drinking coffee or pop when I saw this or it’d be out my nose :D
Deciding on a restaurant to go to for dinner is harder than nailing a jello to a tree…..suggestions anyone?
Imagine going back in time and describing what a selfie is to someone in the 80s……
The US and Britain are in a competition to see who can mess themselves up the most. Currently Britain is in the lead, but the US has a Trump card up their sleeve….;-)
My grass is now 100% yellow and maintenance-free!
Still at Hospital…. today is not a good day. I decided to go horseback riding - something I haven’t done in forever. It turned out to be a big mistake! I got on the horse and started out slow, but then we went a little faster, and before I knew it we were going as fast as the horse could go. I couldn’t take the pace and fell off but caught my foot in the stirrup with the horse dragging me. It wouldn’t stop - it just kept going around and around in a circle. Thank goodness the store manager at Wal-Mart came out and unplugged the machine.
The quickest way to turn a t-shirt into a fuzzy winter sweater is to wrestle with my dog for 5 minutes…..
I live right behind a big park with a pro running track. Right now there are probably 50+ high schools competing there today, and their rest/water tents are set up all along the shaded areas amongst the trees right behind my back fence (about 6 feet from my picnic table). And in this heat, everyone looks tired. I just picked up some fresh KFC, and Pepper and I are eating it outside at my picnic table right now……slowly. About 4 tents down, I heard someone say “Oh god, is that KFC?!? It’s driving me nuts!”…..hahaha :D
It was such a beautiful day out today, I did something I haven’t done for years… I played a round of golf. Sure, it was Wii golf……but still…..
There was an email I had to respond to that I just couldn’t word properly. After having a coffee, I worded it effortlessly and perfectly. Coffee works people!
I’m pleasantly surprised that there is a place in Harlem, NYC called “Harlem Shake” that serves burger and shakes ;-)
The new ordering kiosks at McDonalds are pretty cool. Firstly, they don’t mess up your order……secondly, you can totally customize everything - so I investigated, and found that it lets you order up to 10 patties on a Big Mac!
HTTP 200 jokes are OK……
Was digging through the middle compartment in the car and pulled out a zipper case full of music CDs……from way back when we didn’t listen to the songs on our phone via Bluetooth in our cars. Popped one in the CD player and listened one heck of an odd assortment of awesome tunes…….it was sort of like “car archaeology” :D
Am I the only one who thinks Kathleen Wynne looks like Humpty Dumpty from Digital Underground?
Yup……like that great song “American Frisbee” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young ;-)
I’ve never heard so many David Bowie songs on the radio - it’s like every radio station is playing them all day long……if Justin Bieber dies, I’m not turning on the radio at all.
Whoever put the “b” in the word “subtle” was a clever bastard.
I just bought myself a ton of new socks tonight. In retrospect, it’s probably the best gift I could give my dog for Christmas ;-)
I just used the phrase “Cheer up dude….it’s Whopper Wednesday!”, and it worked as expected ;-)
What happens in Vegas doesn’t happen to me…..
Not to brag, but I can almost always tell if they’re using fake dinosaurs in a movie.
I bet the YMCA dance is way harder to do in Japanese….
If you’re at an Apple store during a robbery, you’re technically an iWitness…..
I’m going to become incredibly rich once I invent a dog whistle that makes the sound of a cheese wrapper…..
Walk into A&W for breakfast, immediately get greeted by the Saturday regulars, the cashier already has my order rung in and says “You’re late this morning.” I feel like Norm from “Cheers” ;-)
There is a point in every man’s life where you find yourself standing outside a pizza parlour at 1:00am with 2 other guys unloading 4 arcade machines from a pickup truck ;-)
I thought I understood the I before E grammar rule until eight weird feisty foreign neighbours in beige tried to get me involved in a heist…..
I wonder if I have a hoarding problem with collecting episodes of that show “Hoarders”?
At the drive thru…. Cashier: “Is it for here or to go?” Me: “For here - I’m just going to eat it in my car in the drive-thru lane.”
There is a special place in Hell for people that call you back after you accidentally butt dial them.
I’m so lazy with my spelling that I take pride when Google doesn’t even recognize or attempt a guess at what the hell I’m trying to look up.
Feeling bored & wicked? Go to a crowded mall & find a great parking spot. Then just sit in your car with the reverse lights on.
Awesome Sysadmin Day dinner at Chen’s with a slew of Linux admins from the KW area……had a great time! Every dinner conversation should include a discussion of awk, KDE and Python ;-)
I saw this advertisement in a window that said: ìTelevision, 1$, volume stuck on full.î I thought to myself, I cant turn that down.?
$5 burrito day people……make sure you stop by Home Depot and pick up a plunger and some air fresheners on the way back….;-)
If I owned a Zoup franchise, I’d totally recreate the soup Nazi episode from Seinfeld…..“No zoup for you!”
Useless fact of the day “In the late 1990s, Microsoft secretly developed it’s own distribution of Linux, but shelved it after quality control researchers deemed it “too stable” ;-)
I no longer refer to it as “checking my email” at work. I now call it “catching up on my soaps”…..
Can you spare just $2.00? Ranji is a 9yr old boy living in Namibia. He has only 1 leg, 1 arm and 1 eye. Each day he has to ride 7 miles to school along a narrow road on a rusty bike with bent wheels, no brakes and only 1 pedal. If you send us just $2, we will send you the video - it’s absolutely hilarious.
Never put Mentos in beer!
Here’s a joke for all the mind readers out there:
I find it mildly amusing that the phone number for the Apple Store in Waterloo (519-772-5150) contains the model number of the first PC (the IBM 5150) ;-)
Why do Java developers wear glasses? ….Because they can’t C#
So many of my neighbours barbecued today, and it smelled so good. Next time I pick up KFC or Smokin Tony’s, I’m going to drive real slow around the neighbourhood with my windows down. That’s right….payback is a bitch…..
I asked someone about their time in prison. They said “I have mixed feelings. On one hand
I was surrounded by the worst society had to offer. I shared cells with thieves, murderers, and rapists. On the other hand the prison library was filled with the best collection of literature that I’ve ever seen. I don’t know. It has its prose and cons.”
It’s funny how vinyl records are making a comeback (albeit with a small group of people). Perhaps in 10 years, CDs will also make a retro comeback…..after all, they’re just small records….but read with frickin’ lasers!
I just finished designing a website for an orphanageÖ There isn’t a home page ;-)
It’s always Taco night somewhere…..

I should open an Irish pub called “Bobby McFerrin’s” - it’d be a place where you don’t have to worry…you can just be happy ;-)
So I finish putting groceries in my car and get in, and someone walks behind my car, yells “Oh my god!” then runs up to my window and asks if he can take a picture of my UNIXGURU license plate for Twitter. Of course I said yes ;-)
Sex, drugs and sausage rolls.
Fifty Shades of Grey is only considered a romantic story because the guy is a billionaire. If he was living in a trailer or shack somewhere in the woods, it would be more like an episode of “Criminal Minds.”

OK - I live in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of old people. So naturally, a lot of bible thumpers come around to the doors. And my “No Soliciting” sign on my side door window doesn’t seem to deter them. So, I put one of these “I stand with Israel” signs in my side door window…..now I watch them walk up to my door, and then double back as if my house was an Ebola quarantine……that’s one way of turning an ultra-annoying situation into a humorous giggle ;-)

The one lady then said “Aren’t you interested in world problems?”, to which I replied “Whenever I think of Gaza, I immediately think of all the smug bastards in coffee shops who have a simple solution to all of the world’s problems, and then I think…..gee….do I want to be part of that? No.” The rest of my waiting in line was very peaceful after that :-)

Normally I don’t pick up the phone for unknown numbers, but I did a few minutes ago and it happened to be a Liberal Party propaganda person who sounded incredibly tired. After they did their spiel, I told him my voting strategy: to vote for the least ugly person.

From Jeff Smith: A young man with his pants hanging half off his ass, two gold front teeth, and a half inch thick gold chain around his neck; walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. He marched up to the counter and said, “Hi. You know, I just H A T E drawing welfare. I’d really rather have a job.. I don’t like taking advantage of the system, getting something for nothing.” The social worker behind the counter said “Your timing is excellent. We Just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You’ll have to drive around in his 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes.” “Because of The long hours, meals will be provided. You’ll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say But you will also have, as part of your job, the assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20’s and has a rather strong sex drive.” The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, “You’re bullshittin’ me!” The social worker said, “Well ….yeah, …. but you started it.”

From Doug Weatherby: The Big Bang Starts the Universe Out in the Most Metal Way Possible ~14 billion years ago Once upon a time, our universe was condensed into a point smaller than a single atom, which sounds super cute but actually was quite volatile. It suddenly burst, giving birth to both time and space. After just 100 seconds, it was trillions of miles across. Innumerable elementary subatomic particles were crashing into one another, with antimatter destroying matter. Hydrogen gas formed, and collapsed by gravity into itself until pressure grew so immense that those hydrogen atoms fused into helium. So stars were born, fusing atoms into ever more complex elements until the stars began creating iron, at which point they collapsed into themselves and exploded into supernovas ñ unimaginably powerful detonations that in an instant formed all of the other elements that make up our world. So every atom in your body was born in a star. You are, technically, a star. Except you, Miley Cyrus.

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses. Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what’s known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale. It’s not aging, it’s the door! Thank goodness for studies like this. Actually, that’s all bullshit. You probably have Alzheimer’s.
It’s important to make little things count. Teach midgets math.
When Oedipus reached Thebes, he encountered a Sphinx. “If you want to pass this point alive, you must answer my riddle: What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?”, the Sphinx asked. Oedipus pondered for a moment. “Probably one of those new Pokemon” he finally replied. “There’s like 600 of them, and I’d be surprised if one of them doesn’t change its number of legs whilst evolving.” “Fair enough,” spoke the Sphinx. “I can’t reasonably expect you to remember all of their names. You may pass.”

Courtesy Jeff Smith: Bob was sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear. “What’s the matter?” Bob asked. “I’ve been transferred to Detroit , there are crazy people there. They’ve got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate in the nation.” Jack replied, “Nonsense! I’ve lived in Detroit all my life. It’s not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, and enrol your kids in a nice private school. It’s as safe a place as anywhere in the world.” The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, “Oh, thank you. I’ve been worried to death. But if you live there and say it’s OK, I’ll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?” “I’m the tail gunner on a Budweiser truck.”

I have a Level 85 dwarven paladin, an 82 shadow priest, and I’m currently leveling a warrior through Northrend, although I spend most of my time tanking instances in the Dungeon Finder. I’ve held off on getting Mists of Pandaria because I got burned out on endgame progression after Wrath of the Lich King and the Cataclysm content is still new to me. Plus monks seem redundant in an era of dual specialization and viable hybrid DPS, and while I know they’re well-established in the lore, Pandaren don’t appeal to me. So I’m wrapping up a Taunka questline in the Borean Tundra, trying to determine if I should go to Dragonblight or Grizzly Hills…….and now you know how I feel when you won’t shut up about sports!

Some good points in this article that illustrate the (somewhat natural) move to a consumer-focus in how we interact with smartphone technologies today - companies are also adopting the consumer focus and social networking features in their own corporate smartphones to drive productivity. This is what Apple iOS, Google Android, and Windows Phone 7 have excelled at and what RIM lacks from a “let’s stand back and look at our strategy” perspective.
Some lady followed us home yesterday after seeing my UNIXGURU license plate - she wanted to know if I knew anyone who could do HTML5/LAMP development. Cool, but sort of creepy at the same time.

I’d like to switch to Google+, but 95% of everyone I know is still on Facebook……it’s like going to some obscure coffee shop where one of your friends hangs out compared to Starbucks, where the rest of your friends hang out.
Just finished my Playbook app “Reverse Zombify” after almost an entire night of polishing. It still isn’t perfect, but there is a point where you have to say “it’s good enough” and just finish it. Anyone with a Playbook who wants to sideload it and try it out, let me know.
I honestly can’t believe how lame this is, but it is true - I threw my back out tonight playing Angry Birds.
Just putting the finishing touches this week on my Playbook app for the BlackBerry Partner’s Fund Challenge - it’s called “Reverse Zombify” - you actually have to turn people into zombies in strategic ways to earn points.

Starting to come down off of the Red Bull high from the last 2 days. I don’t remember how many I drank, but it was a lot. I don’t think I could have stayed awake during The Great Canadian Appathon without it though….

You can have a lot of fun today because the malls are so crowded - just go to the mall, but not to shop.
I just realized something - that new BlackBerry Playbook RIM is coming out with basically runs the same OS that those old ICON computers did back in high school (QNX) - I have good memories of getting banned from the ICON lab at GCI for breaking into the LexICON file server…….about 4 times I think…..
