He is an Elf?

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."

No, a pointy eared tree hugger, usually with a bow and arrows.

You're not a trekkie? Or are you too young to get the reference? Did you know Spock just passed away? Of course you couldn't have known that when you wrote this.

Confusing Elves and Vulcans is a classic, especially if you once in a while get to see nerds dressed up as one or the other.
And yes, it's right that I never claimed to have the power of precognition.

Yesterday my wife stopped by a mexicanish fast food place to grab dinner. On the audio system was playing "Don't stop believing" by Journey and the 20 some girl in front of my 53 year old wife said to the teen behind the counter, "Hey, cool music" to wit the kid said "yeah", which is a lot for a teen boy.
Anyway , all is not lost.
.... And it's all mixed up too btw.

How could a 20 something have not heard that song umpteen times? Well, that just shows the venue a 20 something listens to isn't one I do. Of course, I grew up in an age when these songs were just hitting the charts and I don't know of any stations that are playing songs that are just topping the charts now. That's even in a strange area where I don't know the stations. They're either playing this type of music or "classical". Maybe I'm switching channels because they are playing just noise and I don't register it?? I remember when I was a teen, what I was listening to was just noise, corrupting "our" young. Do we have people now who are introducing a new song every week and I don't know it because it's just noise?

Did he repeat his question?
For all you know he may have asked you "Would you like to hear VanDyke?"
Hearing can get affected at an old age you know.

I do and prefer them over the STL (I also use VS6, which is not very compatible with STL. Not my choice.) as I know their reliability or lack of so and their working and logic. They are simple and allow me to easily use their features without having to modify much in my code.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

My vanity would like to believe that, but honesty and integrity force me to say otherwise.

Wow, that proves you're old and you are over a decade younger than me. Didn't they stop teaching that about 20 years ago because it was old-fashioned?

Which proves my point. I grew up so long ago that honesty was still considered the best policy.

With people going to jail for renewed Ponsi schemes, wholesale bank failures because of sketchy business policies, makes you wonder how that ever got out of style. Maybe the huge bonuses and kick-backs without consequences happening at the same time?

Dishonesty and recklessness are hardly new inventions, but it is only recently that they have gone "mainstream".
It used to be that the worst possible disaster that could befall a banker was to go bankrupt. He was totally ruined, both in society and in business. Even if he did later recover financially, he always had that cloud hovering over him. This tended to limit bankers' risk-taking. Nowadays, on the other hand...

Nice application of your tag line. I get the feeling now that if anyone mentioned Churchill, half the world would say "Who?" They also wouldn't know the quote, "Anyone who doesn't know history is doomed to repeat it." (I don't remember who said it, so much for remembering history.)
