A standing offer to Donald Belcham

Donald,

If you can supply me with the name of the person who put you through the incident you described today, I solemnly promise you that if it is the last thing I do, I will hunt down that man and kick him square in his gonads.

Repeatedly.

A kick in the nuts to those who diss continuous integration

(*)

From your description it doesn't sound like this man *does* have functioning testicles, in which case I promise you that I will find some testes, surgically attach them to this man and *then* nail him in the groin.

Repeatedly.

Just a word of warning to people usurping the title of "software developer" who would like to try the same thing they did with Donald and tell me "learning is useless"; I like to think I'm generally a pretty easygoing architect/lead/whatever you call someone who looks this fine. Heck, who *doesn't* consider themselves easygoing even if they're a powderkeg of rage waiting to go off at any second?

However, nice as I am, do not tell me you do not want to learn if you do not want me to have to apologize to your family for the shoddy condition of your remains.

* With apologies to Bil Simser, who I think has a patent on this sort of visual representation

By "patent on this sort of visual representation", are you referring to comic book characters kicked in the jewels by albino super villains, or about fashion-sensitive fictional characters wearing orange shirts? (And just how the heck is the Joker breathing underwater??)

Kelly,

I can tell you definitively that anyone who is both fashion-conscious *and* wears orange shirts is definitely a work of fiction, if you catch my drift.

A t-shirt of this picture would be awesome.....I can't think of a single meeting I've ever been to that wouldn't have gone better if I'd been wearing this.

Joseph,

I don't know the legalities given the characters featured, but you have my solemn promise I will do everything I can to make it come to pass.
