Unexpected runbox fun

[Oorang]

So today I asked a user for their LanID, and they didn't know what I speaking about, so I email them back and told them to paste this into their run box:

cmd /k "echo Your LanID is %USERNAME%" && More

For some reason that made me laugh, so I thought I'd share it. (Even though even as I type this I realize it's probably not that funny, oh well)

 

[Richard Schollar]

Aaron, sorry but I just can't see it - why is that funny?

 

[Oorang]

You know I'm not sure Perhaps the sleep deprivation is making me slap happy?


Maybe if I made it pretty?

cmd /k "color df && echo Your LanID is %USERNAME% && More"

 

[Richard Schollar]

Have you considered you might need a holiday?

 

[Oorang]

Quite possibly. (And perhaps also the help of a competent professional.)

 

[hatman]

Professional WHAT?

 

[Oorang]

Wow, now there is a setup line if ever I have heard one

 

[erik.van.geit]

Professional WHAT?

Professional Whatman

(would this be in the style of this thread?)

And they're coming to take me away HO! HO!
They're coming to take me away HEE! HEE!
To the happy home where life is beautiful all the time and they're coming to take me away! HA! HA!

See this is how you pay me back for all my kind unselfish deeds. Although I have wanted to learn basket weaving. Never know when you'll need a good basket.
