Thanks, and do you really think rice is queer?

Nah, My grandfather was really racist, so he got the whole stink on shit, white on rice colloquialism confused.... So he would say "like stink on rice". Anyway after enough continuous inside jokes I hostname(d) my server queer like rice. Nothing against those who desire the same sex. Just a weird inside joke.

Wow, that's pretty deep, thanks for sharing.

So I made this one:

Code

curl -skL xkcd.com/1444 |perl -ne'print"$1"if/le="(.*)" a/'

But my coworker beat me with this one(golf):
curl -skL xkcd.com/1444 | awk -F\" '/le=".*t=/ {print $4}'

Bsdpunk, don't do "My message is to short" in your posts, it is against the rules and you'll get exiled.

Did you remember a guy named eXemist? I'm fairly sure he was part of Malvager for a while at least back in 2010.
