My imagination has turned to Rust this Friday, so I just cannot think of a programming pun.
Instead, I bring you this quizz, and blast from the past...
This is the story of the hare who lost his spectacles
Owl loved to rest quietly whilst no one was watching
Sitting on a fence one day
He was surprised when suddenly a kangaroo ran close by
... such stuff as dreams are made on

Rust indeed: it's only Thursday!

Perhaps he is suffering from relativistic time effects.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Hey, I've been day dreaming that it's Friday since Tuesday 
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.
Help end the violence EAT BACON

I am in a funk! I was waiting for my Friday lunch date too!

Weirdly enough I also thought it was Friday for at least the first two hours after waking. Imagine my confusion at seeing market stalls on High Street (market days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday).
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I once walked into the office on a Friday and apologised for being absent the day before and not calling in, but "I woke up and thought it was Saturday" 
They believed it as well...

No, sorry, but I like your reasoning.

The only proper game I know with three balls is billiards

I think although I got the answer I didn't supply the explanation so give it to Manfred - I got the mixed up den ( lair )and point s, but have never heard of bild

If everyone agrees I think Manfred should be up tomorrow for his full solution?
|
|

I don't mind either way, just tell me about your decision.
Cheers!

You are up tomorrow Manfred!

What are the improper ones? 
|
|
|
|

That is correct:
German Sun : Bild ( a trash newspaper )
den -> lair (mixed up) liar
Bil liar d (bild surrounds liar)
add Point s for south
Billiards
Bingo!

I thought of Billiards but was lost in "Sonne".

I tried for a German newspaper (UK "The Sun" equivalent), but Bild wasn't listed on wiki: List of newspapers in Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^] unless I scrolled down, and everybody knows there is never anything interesting after the first page!

If you use the full name "Bildzeitung" in Germany you will often get the answer:
"Bild is not a newspaper (Zeitung)".
This answer applies here too: You have used the wrong search term.

You're up for the FSOW today - since you didn't post it yesterday, and your substitute proved as reliable as Pompey FC the day before!
