DISCLAIMER: In order to read ANYTHING is this node, please have a sense of humor.

Ok, so I was working on some code that hasn't been working for days, and I FINALLY got it to work after 3 mt dews, and several cups of coffee in 2 hours.
each time this code runs, it saves my company $150,000 in contracting fees, and it FINALLY works! so I'm really excited, and hyper.. (caffeine good), and I have a strange sense of humor, and always laugh at those commercials on tv that go "side effects while rare include".. so I'm working with some cool ppl, so I figured I'd make it funny to read the license..

the few ppl I shared this with found it quite funny, though its not for everyone, it is a joke, and I'll probly get a few --'s but hey, those of who you who work at cool company's where you can put stuff like this in your code, feel free to use it for kicks! :)

hope I don't offend anyone, there's nothing in there I haven't heard on TV though :P

    Yep. Gotta watch out for those "bowl movements", especially when I'm trying to eat my cereal in the morning! "Come back here, damn you! I'll get you my pretty, and your little marshmallow friends, too!"
    :)

    Update: What's the deal here? Having a sense of humor goes out of scope at the end of the previous post?

      Sorry, with Guildenstern's post, I now have this image of a bowl of cereal, with spurs, riding round trying to lassoo marshmallows.

    man, caffiene and excitement can make you do things that are just weird.
    this is one of those posts that I'll refer to with the infamous "well it seemed like a good idea at the time"

    apologies..
