Sadly, Sparrow's insult to my manhood took first place this week. Sparrow, you may display the prestigious In Your Face award:
In second place was Brad's caption:
All were in agreement that this was the weakest "Celebrity Jeopardy" in recent memory.And in third, Rickey Henderson with:
"But, my fellow Americans, what differentiates me from my competitors is that, unlike Congressman Diesel, I can unhinge my jaw and swallow my prey whole."This was my most popular contest yet, with over 160 captions submitted! Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone for playing and/or voting.
In other news, MySQL continues to screw with me. MySQL is an open source (read: free) database that I use for tracking the Humor-Blogs.com data and for my commenting application. Evidently it is straining under the weight of so much use, so it looks like I'm going to have to migrate to a Microsoft (read: expensive) solution. This morning I was greeted with an error message indicating that the table where I store all the Humor-Blogs.com members was corrupted. I did a repair on the table, and it came back with the message "660 rows converted to 658 rows." Which is a friendly way of saying, "I deleted two of your members. Guess which ones!" I know that I was one of them (more evidence that MySQL hates me), but I have no idea who the other one is. I hope it's not anybody important.
Anyway, I'm going to try to convert to SQL Server this weekend. Hopefully it won't be too much of a nightmare, but if things break over the next few days, that will be why. That or the sun spots.
Have a better weekend than I will! See you back here on Monday!
