  • Hail John,

    Full of Code,

    The server is with thee.

    Blessed art thou amongst developers,

    and blessed is the fruit

    of thy hands Wordie.

    Holy John,

    Father of Wordie,

    code for us users,

    now and at the hour of our posts.

  • Seanahan, I'm standing far away from you so as not to be struck by lightning. ;-)

    September 10, 2007

  • I can't make this up; as I read your post Reesetee, I heard thunder in the distance.

    September 10, 2007

  • *moving even farther away from seanahan*

    September 10, 2007

  • Very clever seanahan! "Thou shalt not have graven images of other coders before me" sayeth John (Book of John the Wordie, Chap 12, Verse 4).

  • I'm actually a golden calf.

    This whole thread makes me pretty uncomfortable.

  • awesome. "And John said, Let there be code: and there was wordie." (Book of John the Wordie, Chap 1, Verse 2)

    September 10, 2007

  • What? What chapters? What verses? No one told me Wordie was a book!

    September 11, 2007

  • I define a book as "something you read that is full of words". I think that describes Wordie pretty well.

  • "'What is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversation?'"

    September 11, 2007

  • Well, there's the problem, then. I define books entirely differently.

    I was just kidding, seanahan--not very well, apparently.

    September 11, 2007

  • I was kidding too Reesetee. Very well, apparently.

    September 12, 2007

  • Hmph. Sez you ;-> <--scathing riposte

    September 12, 2007

  • We need a "kidding" font or something. I was just trying to type up some smart retort, and couldn't figure out how to make it work w/o completely offending somebody. Sometimes the winky face just seems inadequate.

    September 13, 2007

  • Or you could do what I do and say it anyways, offending everyone, and not caring.
