Barbecued Tri-Tip is better than C

[Kevin D. Quitt]

At least, when you're hungry.

Since I don't seem to be able to reach

Chiron Paixos <[email protected]>

by email, let me ask what made you think my single post to a single
newsgroup, as a (hopefully) humorous response to the other silly threads,
i.e., "x is better than C", was spam and required reporting? Not that
anybody took the report seriously, I might add.

While we're at it, are there others who are incensed/annoyed/whatever by
my previous post and think it was totally wrong, or not even mildly
humongous?

 

[Kevin D. Quitt]

Uh, make that "homeroom", not "humongous": spell checker sneaked that in.

Try again, got rid of English (International) dictionary: "humorous", not
"humongous"

And for what it's worth:

Humour is in the eye (or, perhaps in this case, the taste-buds) of the
beholder. I didn't think your article was particularly side-splitting, but
I certainly wasn't annoyed by it.

In any event, it was factually incorrect. C is much better than Barbecued
Tri-Tip, even if you're hungry. To remove() your hunger, just rewind() a
little, take your feet off the floor(), and pow()! That chocolate log()
sure puts() the abs() to work. It really is a sin().

Hmmm. This isn't as funny as I'd hoped. I think it's time() for a sharp
exit().

Yeah, already corrected. *sigh*

Good question! I have no clue. I'll ask the Airnews folk.

FWIW, I laughed You should certainly abort() your current career and
sprintf() to your local paper and get a job as a humor columnist. I'll even
let you take a celebratory strtok() from my hash pipe.

Encoding a standard header sounds a bit ... suspicious. Almost as
suspicious as stripping previous headers, or spoofing the return path.

What's "Tri-Tripe"? 3 cow-stomaches?

You must be humorously hungry.

And you're wrong, it's "holomorphic"....better kick that spell checker again.

I don't quite understand how this protects their customers, unless
they support lots of spammers.
