The nicest things anyone's said about me all year
As a card-carrying TechnoDolt™, it's rare to be the recipient of a compliment regarding something computer-related, so I'm delighted to report that early this morning while I was sleeping, commenter urgay — wait a minute, did I miss something there... was that a play on words? very witty, if so... but I digress — weighed in with not one but two! two! two in a span of less than 10 minutes.
Up top, the first in his series, received at 5:39 a.m.
"n00b" — be still my heart.
But it got even better when in his subsequent remark (below),
logged in at 5:48 a.m., he wrote, "even in 2008 it was old, thanks gramps and granny."
On behalf of the krew out back in the skunk works and my crack research team, you're most welcome.
FunFact: We've just renamed bookofjoe World Headquarters©™® here in Charlottesville, Virginia, my Podunk home town — from now on, it's Geriatric Park.
And why do I just automatically assume urgay is a guy and not a girl?
Pretty immature and politically incorrect of me, huh?

Listen, sonny, as soon as I get my dentures in and my truss laced up, I'll come out there and give you a sound thrashing with my walking stick. Maybe that's how you do things in Uruguay but over here folks show some respect. Hmph.

Its a troll joe, they like to pick fights but are dispassionate of their targets. Goal is maximizing the chaos.

Nietzsche? That is like so 18th century.

I'll steal from Nietzsche... You are the lighthouse in a sea of absurdity Joe.
The urgays of this world are of no consequence so do as majeanne says.

Remember your high school Latin, Joe:
Illegitimi non carborundum.
