Dude’s just got exactly my sense of humour…
I have a sticker on my car that says, “There is no place like 127.0.0.1″
I get to explain it to a lot of people, and I’m usually rewarded with a blank look, followed by a pitying look, followed by parents holding on tightly to their children as they move away slowly at first, then quickly, never turning their backs on me.
Such is the life of a geek among normals.
My pal R. Stevens, creator of the always-awesome Diesel Sweeties comic, has a new T-shirt with a different take on the 127.0.0.1 joke that hit a little close to 127.0.0.1 for me:
There will be 10 kinds of people in the world: those who get this shirt, and those who don’t.
(Okay, that was taking it just a little to far, I will admit.)
For the record, no that joke’s never too far (and yes, I own the t-shirt), and I totally know what you mean about your car (see my personal example to the right).
