Friday Contest - Time for the smack down

24

Posted in Misc | Posted on 11-20-2009 | 2,519 views

Ok, let me start off by saying that I do not condone knocking other languages. I do it - in jest - mainly because I've had to deal with so much in return. I figure if we ColdFusion developers can take it, we can, from time to time, "vent" a bit and deal it back. As it stands, we get our code down in half the time anyway so we have the opportunity to goof off. A few weeks back I held a "You are CF Dude" contest. Jim Leether won that with this beauty:

Today its time to reverse it, go Bizzaro, or however you want to say it. Today's contest is "You are Not CF Dude". As an example...

Submit your best picture (work safe please) and the winner will get another Amazon gift certificate. All languages are open - in fact - if you want to tease ColdFusion a bit, that's fine by me. Just have fun with it.

And again - folks - it is in good fun. I don't hate PHP or any other language. If this contest makes your mad, I suggest backing away from the computer and taking a few deep breathes. It's Friday - have fun!

I'm at the Flex for CF class in Washington, DC so I can't take a picture at the moment, but I figured I could add this gem.

I start a gig as a .Net developer in 2 weeks, so I think that might make me the best "Not CF Dude". Not sure how to show that in a picture though.

While I'm sure this doesn't qualify for the contest, it's too good not to pass on.

Here is a screenshot of an IM conversation between myself and a PHP buddy of mine when I showed him one of the images Ray has posted in this entry.

I know it's past 5 CST guys - sorry. I've got a quick blog entry to do, then Taekwondo practice with my son. Going to pick the winner in about an hour!

Ok, my favorites are:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=9855789&...

But I have to say - I think the Matrix one, http://lukenukum.com/images/asp_red_or_blue.jpg, was my favorite.

So I consulted the Judging Committee (me), and the Awards committee (me), and finally the Due Process/Legal dept (me), and as a group (me) it was decided that was the winner.

Congrats Luke! Luke, can you email me directly with your best email address for the Amazon cert?

Thank you to everyone. I was sure this was a dumb idea - but I'm happy you guys liked it.
