Too cute
My son outgrew his bowler hat, and he’s been pestering me to find a store where we could buy a new one. The kid hardly ever asks for anything, so it’s not like we’re spoiling him with bowler hats. Anyway, whenever Jake talks about the bowler hat we like to claim he’s emulating Alex (from A Clockwork Orange). Kind of difficult since he’s never seen the movie. (He’s way too young. He should be at least fourteen.)
We thought it would be fun to dress him up like Alex for Halloween. Karen remarked that he ought to skip the athletic supporter, which of course forced us to do a google image search, which led to
Time for a little ultracuteness!
Which doesn’t at all explain how we came by this,
pimp my code!
. . . from this zany place.
Gaaaah I’m exhausted.
D.
And another weird goddam internetz meme hits me. Why the hell are all these people doing this? I dunno.
That LISP example is funny, but it would have been funnier if the code sample had been one that produced the output at the bottom. THAT would have been funny.
Dean! man, you had me worried you had fallen off the planet.
From that website, I gather that the meme started because of the TV show Pimp My Ride (which I’ve never watched), wherein the host tells the pimpee (is it okay to call them tricks?) “I know you like X, so we put X in the car.” Thus: “I know you like football, so we put a TV that only gets ESPN in the car.”
Jake didn’t get far enough in LISP to decipher that bit of code. What does it do?
I don’t speak LISP, but it looks like a snippet from a larger program. Although LISP syntax is so obscure that it could actually produce the line at the bottom…
