Anything juicy? Gossip? Scandal?

I took a self-imposed vacation from the forum to focus on some projects and do some re-structuring. I popped into the main forum and it does not look like I missed anything

Did miss a lot of you guys though.

    Diana,

    In my excitement about being elected King, I forgot to welcome you back. So...

    Welcome Back!

    Even a King can royally screw up, but I've already forgiven myself on your behalf. Being King does have its advantages.

      People, people ... there will be no taxes or convenience fees, for I am a benevolent King.

      Besides, now that I'm royalty, all royal income will henceforth be called...

          The jester on most occasions was the only one that could speak the truth to the king without fear,albeit wrapped in riddles or humour.
          Or to his guests, which is said to have often involved misdirection and false information. I don't know how true that is, or if there are any specific stories backing it up, but it makes for a Macchiavellian approach to diplomacy.

    "Macchiavellian" - Sounds like Dennis, throwing a 25 cent word into a 10 cent conversation. Even though Paul did it.

    Elmer,
    Kindly explain "s/sc/t/" to those of us not sufficiently in the know to understand such lofty attempts at humour.
    Oh. Well why didn't you just say that?

    It's a way of saying "substitute a 't' for instances of 'sc.'" In short, scrolled becomes trolled. But then, a joke is never funny if you have to explain it.

    Of course, I may have the syntax wrong. I'm only geeky in my spare time.

    Terra,
    and apparently I'm not a geek either.

    What? Give bad advice?

    That stuff is tricky enough in a clear-headed state. Messing with regex's after imbibing citrus-enhanced intoxicants is an excellent way to bork it up badly.

            HEY! Um.......

            Did you just tell me I misquoted myself?

            I realize that the two subs are valid depending on your point of reference -- but you already admitted you are not an archangel - so you can't tell me I quoted me wrong. Does this make a cyclical argument that brings us right back to the court jester post?

            Incidentally, not being a techie - could you tell me if this might be the way you would code that the substitutions are optional?

              I prefer to refer to such incidents as "misspeaking."

              Maybe. And would that be an inappropriate assumption, given my comments?

              Hmmmmm?

              As far as I know, 'eh' is not a valid argument in that particular substitution format. But I could be mistaken. Especially in Canuckistani software...

                Not so much nice as necessary. We're not old enough yet to go without sleep entirely. It's not an easy problem to overcome, so give us another 10 years or so to whip it, and we'll whip it good.
