Step away from the butter knife

I could not stop laughing at this description of what it’s like working with Adobe’s PSD file format.  This part is from the comments of this FARK item.  The source code comment that this FARK article is referencing is funny but this comment on the FARK site is even more funny.

PenguinTheRed: I’d ask someone to explain this to those of us who don’t understand WTF is going on here, but as for myself, I’d probably still not understand. I’ll just go back to playing with sticks and rocks…

You want to butter your bread in the morning to eat with your morning coffee.

You wake up and then ask your wife to grab you a knife while you get the butter and bread.

On Monday, the butter is upside down in the freezer and your wife puts all the knives in the dishwasher and starts it instantly.

On Tuesday, the butter is out of the container and spread out on the kitchen floor and your wife takes a knife and stabs you in the heart.

On Wednesday, the butter is in the refrigerator with a knife in the container…but the lid is welded shut and you are unable to open it.

On Thursday, when you wake up, the butter and knife are already sitting next to you on the bed…but all the bread is moldy and green.

On Friday, you commit suicide.

That’s what it is like using PSD.

Welcome

As I was leaving my brother’s house the other day, I noticed this chalk board next to the door in his garage.  I almost choked on my Mountain Dew.

Sellin’ something that ain’t no good

Tonight I am at my Great Aunt Winnie’s house helping her get moved in. My mom asked me if this old 15″ CRT monitor is any good (it’s one that Winnie bought at a church sale a few weeks ago). I said no, it’s worthless. Winnie doesn’t even have a computer. Later on, after Mom had relayed what I said to Winnie, she asked me if I was sure and I said yes. She said “why would a church sale it for $25 if it wasn’t worth anything”. My reply was “that’s what churches do, take your money and give you something that isn’t worth anything”.
