you are the only? Fail!
… what you fail to realize is that these guys are residents of Whoville.
Win!
Even with the typo, this one actually cracked me up.
lol, me too. it’s so true (i think my mechanic goes a bit overboard with the concept though)
General Rule #1 : Funny >> spelling
“Pull the blue wire. NO not THAT blue wire!”
Is this a variation of the “pull my finger” “joke”?
Actually, your comment made me think of that scene in The Abyss when Ed Harris’ character needed to cut a wire and the light stick made the color change. He pretty much just guessed.
lol I was thinking something along the lines of the wires making something explode if you pulled the wrong one. XD
I was thinking about the episode of MASH where Hawkey was sent out to disarm an unexploded bomb in the camp…
Henry Blake (from a safe distance): “Now cut the red wire!”
*Snip*
Henry Blake : “But first…”
*Hawkeye*
Was that the same episode where Frank saw some locals burying something in the ground and thought it was a bomb and turned out to be kim chee?
Nope, that’s another one. Carry on.
It reminded me of my nam days when I was defusing bombs. I lost all my limbs and my balls once.
Way to be a dick.
that does seem to be the only appendage he’s got left…
Problem is, he thinks with it…
*claps*
But that’s what happens when you’ve got nothing else with which to think.
Must be really hard to masturbate that way.
rando, he’s got a mouth left… i just hope he’s flexible.
If he can do that with his mouth, he doesn’t need any other limbs.
yeah, but would he really want to do that to himself??
If you’re doing it to yourself, it’s not gay, is it?
If I could still do that, I wouldn’t have left the house for the last 35 years.
*oops, did I say that out loud?*
*yes, Chef was quite limber when he was young*
I have been in that server room, and seen that hub! They’re just getting started!
Really?
So what base was it at?
Job security fail. Patch cables are easy.
Geekiness fail – that system is using fibre optics, not copper.
HaHa!! PWND!!!
MINDA!!! *hugs*
Are you guys twins?
LMAO, I wish. No, Minda is a friend of mine from HS. I actually emailed her when I saw that comment just to make sure it was her.
-pokes mina and minda with a stick- i think they are reproduceing…
Yes, it’s all part of my evil plot.
dont let putin know, he will destroy you if your evil plot is better then his
*glomps* MINA!!!!
Incorrect.
Agreed! Frank wouldn’t know fiber optic if it was stuck up his ass for a colonoscopy.. and a brain scan.
OUCH! Man, I’m embarrassed.
p4t, that is definitely copper.
How can you tell from just the picture? They look a lot like ethernet cables to me, and those are fiber optic cables. You must excuse, my ignorance in this matter, I know barely anything about computers.
fiber optic cables are much smaller in diameter.
Patch cables are easy; COMEDY is hard.
Heeeeeeey, how did my co-workers get there to run their cables AND still have time to mess up my data center here?
You think you’ve been in that server room too, huh!?
They’re pretty much all the same, aren’t they? Dark, cool, humming places where disgruntled comm pukes glare spitefully at any and all intruders….
Cable management FAIL!
I finally see a lol that could actually work in a demotivational poster format and the person doesn’t use it.
@Matt D- You obviously know how to do it. Please restore my faith in the poster format. It was a good lol, now make it great.
Just for you:

Being indispensable in your job also means you can’t be promoted.
Which isn’t a bad thing if you’re already the top guy in your department!
I wired my own server closet, it looks nothing like blue spaghetti.
That said, I still wouldn’t want to be the guy that walks into my job without any idea which wire goes where.
Mmmmm spaghetti.
Mmmmmm… BLUE spaghetti!!!!!
Mmm mmm mmm. Barack Hussein Spaghetti…
“Brought to you by the fine food makers at Indoctination Pasta”…
YOU ARE NOT OF THE BODY!!!!
Mmm mmm mmm Barack Landru Obama….
I don’t even want to know what that would taste like…
SOCIALISUM!!!!!!11!!!1
It’s good with the blue milk.
With Dark Side cookies for dessert.
Or the blue slurpees from 7-eleven.
*giggles because he knows the slurpees only turned blue after grandpa smurf went in to 7-eleven to take a leak (old joke from a L.A. morning radio show back in the 80s)*
They could walk into mine, I have every blessed connection documented. From patch panel to switch port.
I didn’t realize you were a member of the OCD club! Do you guys have cookies at your local meetings? We used to, but it started causing issues with crumbs.
No, trust me, I don’t have OCD (my wife can confirm that). It’s just that I have been burnt too many times in the past when it comes to computer stuff.
Not OCD, just learns from past mistakes/incidents. That’s probably better since it doesn’t require treatment of any kind.
Is it me, or does that guy looked worried that he’ll be trapped in there forever in a blue web of cables??
“Not pictured: Giant Blue Spider.”
*arms self with giant can of bug spray* Cover me, I’m going in.
Got your back!!! *grabs fly swatter*
Psst. Minda, that’s a GIANT blue spider. I don’t think the fly swatter’s gonna work this time.
Tennis racket then??
Might work.
Awesome!!! XD
Lacrosse stick?
That could work too.
Dodge truck with a Hemi & four-wheel-drive?
Ohhh! I like that one even better!!!
Win! Ok, you can take the lead then.
Think about it: if the blue cables are the thickness of the web, can you imagine the size of the frickin spider!!! Def need a Hemi.
I’ve got the flamethrower!
I’ve already got the Camo 3/4 Ton GMC with the fitting for BT and his .50 in the back.
And so the epic battle begins.
Hey guys wait up!!! I brought my rifle! And my gun! I’m ready for fighting and for fun!
I brought the beer. What’s hunting without beer?
bitter troll has pruneing sheers just in case!
*tacklehugs bitter*
-snuggles up on charro- heya sexy!
It wants to nom on his nerdy brains.
It’s a zombie?
Probably….that’s why everyone needs to buy Zombie-B-Gone!! Packaged into a convenient spray bottle, you too can stop zombies in their tracks! Get yours today!!!
Gr… You stole my product.
Just want a confirmation here, but does it look like the guys are wearing military uniforms? If so, as much as it pains me to say it, I’m not surprised.
they’re definitely wearing camo… either they’ve got an office “dress like a redneck” day… or it’s military.
Then the cabling nightmare makes perfect sense now!
Why would you need full camo to do server maintenance though? Don’t those server rooms get really hot? I understand they have rules concerning the uniform, but this is more than a little impractical.
The military are required to wear their uniforms when on duty.
Sometimes rules are really dumb…
clearly they are terrorist blue wires
But surely they have other uniforms than the camos? From my experience, the dress uniforms are far more comfy than camos.
… But harder to get washed, of course. :p
Nope, camos are much more comfortable than dress uniforms.
Not the ones I’ve had. :p Depends on what you do in them, I suppose.
(Swedish miiltary designs and fabrics might be quite different, mind you.)
I don’t know, but I always prefered fatigues, then BDUs. I hated type of dress uniforms, except the TW’s (Khaki’s), but the army, in it’s infinate wisdom, got rid of the only good dress uniform.
Typical. :p
All I’ve ever had to do in uniform is walk around, ride around in cars/buses/etc., and play in orchestras. The camos were less soft and cozy, and looked much less nice, and when you’re constantly “on stage”, that is kinda troublesome – you have to straighten up ‘cubed’ for it to be possible to see that your posture is decent. ;p
…but then i think I took the posture thing too seriously. At times when we had to move around in uniform amongst “Normal People”, those around would try to ask me stuff via my friends, because they thought I was Russian. :p
(Same uniforms – just an attitude discrepancy.)
If they have an office “Dress Like a Redneck day” I want to know where that is so I can apply. If it’s the military… not so much.
The Imperium of Man takes this concept off the deep end… Only one small group knows how to build or maintain anything and their own novices actually fear the machines.
“I know the secrets of the machine…”
“The machine spirits are willing.”
HAHA!
Programmer’s job security rule #1:
Never write any comments except for things like:
/* Function is obvious */
/* Works most of the time */
/* Recursion is cool! */
etc…
I had to convert a program that someone before me had written and the guy was a genious using Poe in his comment areas. I wish I had an example, but that was years ago..
I’ve worked with code that was all commented in haikus. Interesting and completely fvcking useless.
But … At least I can imagine a “Quoth the raven: Nevermore!” comment for reaching the end point, end case, whatever you call it, in a recursion or for/while loop would work fine.
You guys are geeks.
Ah charro, sadly this is true. But as I get older I have shed a lot of the geek in me.
Me too and I’m only 29!
This is a photo two Air Force personnel working on a networking server.
Actually it’s two Gremlins cleverly disguised as Air Force personnel so they can screw up the server room so the Air Force personnel are fooked.
They’re old really crappy cars?
Yugos?
The trick is to bamboozle influential people who are just smart enough to do their jobs but too stupid and/or ignorant to see the big picture.
It’s in a room like this that I have overheard someone say, “If I come back in here and see this cable running across the room through the air, I am going to take it down and use it to strangle you!”. This usually gets the wiring organized in a reasonable period of time.
