The crazy musings of what I think is funny!

Only in Seattle a former (yes former) relentless politically correct city would have an official slut.
Officially, it's the South Lake Union Streetcar (trolley). But in the neighborhood where the new public transportation line runs, it's called the SLUT. Ladies and gentlemen start your jokes now!
Done?
Kapow! Coffee, sold out on their T-shirts bearing the words "Ride the SLUT" another 100 are on order.
"We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighborhood," said Jerry Johnson, 29, a part-time barista. Don’t all men welcome sluts?
According to a Vulcan Inc representatives -- the company that is developing the area -- South Lake Union Trolley was the original name until officials they realized the acronym a little too late. The $50.5 million project is expected to be completed with more SLUTs running in December of this year.
A meeting with city representatives from several years ago hasn’t produced much until the SLUT arrived. Since that meeting Cascade was ignored in Vulcan brochures that lump the neighborhood together with Denny Park and Denny Triangle under the term South Lake Union. With the SLUT Don Clifton, a Cascade resident said "We learned how fun it is to change the name of things”.

Talk Like A Pirate Day
September 19th
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
In celebration of tomorrow’s Talk Like A Pirate Day (September 19th) I’ve created the silly version of Talk Like A Software Pirate. It’s a silly combination of pirate slang with hacker / programmer slang.
I probably could have made it better but I encourage people to add their software pirate words, slogans, pick up lines or whatever else you think a software pirate would say.
Note: Thanks to Dan for inspiring the idea. Slang & terms were researched online
Avast & Abend! - Stop and give attention because you have just created an abnormal termination
Addled Lamer - A mad, insane, or just stupid person - A Lamer is usually a very young user with a big ego who doesn't accurately know computer networking and or programming terms and is unwilling to learn.
Adger Bilge Rat - An insult. To make a bonehead move with consequences that could have been foreseen with a slight amount of mental effort. Therefore you are calling someone a rat that never leaves the lowest level of a pirate ship.
Amoeba Lubber - Can be an insult. - Humorous term for people who use a Commodore Amiga personal computer and or someone who does not log into the internet sea, a person who stays unconnected to the net.
Bletcherous Kraken - Disgusting in design or function; esthetically unappealing. This word is seldom used of people. "The software design is a bletcherous Kraken!"
Booty - Treasure
Couriers - A pirate and a resource. As soon as Cracker Pirates have completd the cleaning, Carrier Pirates distrutes the pillaged software to a variety of pirate sites.
Cracker - A pirate and a resource. Crackers takes a copy of the software than removes any and all serial numbers that could be used to trace the software back to the company pillaged from.
DrinkOrDie aka Hew Griffiths - Famous pirate - Distributed almost any type of pirated material including applications, games, music and videos.
Evil Lily-Livered Sea Bass - Implies that some system, program, person, or institution is sufficiently maldesigned as to be not worth the bother of dealing with.
Gnumacs – Often heard abbreviated name for the GNU project's flagship tool
Home box - a home box to a software pirate is what a pirate ship is to a ocean pirate
J. Random Hacker - A mythical figure like the Davey Jones
Knuth - Mythically, the reference that answers all questions about data structures or algorithms. A safe answer when you do not know: "I think you can find that in Knuth."
Pseudosuit - A person who leaves the software piracy in exchange for a suit wearing job
Miswart - A feature that superficially appears to be a ugly feature offering nothing but is actually a treasure worth stealing
Nick - Software pirate name
Scurvy-Infested Noob - Newbie / someone new to software pirating and has no clue what they are doing. Scurvy-infested is adding more to the insult of being a noob. Anyone in close contact with a noob is in danger of being infected with stupidity.
Software Publishers Association - - Pirate Hunters
SPA's antipiracy brigade - Pirate Hunters
Suxxor (pronounced suck-zor) Blowfish - an insult / a derogatory term. Someone who sucks and or someone who tried to make themselves more important than they really are hence why they are a Suxxor Blowfish
