Converting sewers into amazing street art in São Paulo, Brazil by 6emeia









Seattle SLUTs


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 Software Pirate

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.
