Purple Monkey Dishwasher ALL THE WAY!!! w00t!!!

mmmm... another Simpsons episode deep within the recesses of your mind

I get questions like
"hey ur prog doesnt work it says error:undefined. Does that mean i have 2 put the prog on my calc?"

lol...well, close to that, anyway

Haha, that beats my dumbest e-mail asking for help!

Of course they are stupid for even downloading your programs in the first place! J/k (some contain some pretty nifty programing)

I think I've gotten all of the above... well, except for that Purple Monkey Dishwasher thing. If this is some inside joke, I'm not in the inside.

Same here... But what the heck! That's what I voted!

yellow's prettier than blue

Err... If you say so...

I didn't know, either. I Googled it and got the website in the "Web Page" link.

LOL! I can't believe they actually made a whole website about that. But now I know :)

It's a little like that test "Which OS are you" - and for "Which is your preferred input device" one of the options listed is "Sausage of Power" :D

its inside, i guess....
its from the best show on the face of the planet(at least i think it's from there),
THE SIMPSONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <---{BEST SHOW}
here it is:
I'm happy to announce that another union has joined us in asympathy strike

Bart: [walking up] Now for Operation Strike-Make-Go-Longer.
[to teacher] You know, I heard Skinner say the teachers will crack any minute.
[the teachers whisper it forward through the line]
Teacher: [to Edna] Skinner said the teachers will crack any minute purple monkey dishwasher.
Edna: Well! We'll show him, especially for that "purple monkey dishwasher" remark.
[everyone shouts their assent]
---------------------
there ya go!
thats it!
there it is!
boy am i glad theres a bunch of loyal fans out there that keep a script of every episode :)

Why?! I could've told you those lines straight from my brain. Then again.. I've seen pretty much every episode several times over. Other than 1 news channel, The Simpsons remains the 2nd most watched show at 10pm where I live.. and their all re-runs!

First, that was on the link, why did you post it?
Second, its not from the simpsons, it was only made famous by the simpsons. It is the classic example of a result from the "telephone" game. You know, where one person was told something, then that person said it to the next person, and that next person had to think of what the first person said.

But the "purple monkey dishwasher" quote came from The Simpsons. The telephone concept isn't relevant, it's the _quote_ that makes it come from The Simpsons.

Second to take the poll! Yeah!
All my programs go on my website (I haven't updated it in a while)

That's surprising. The poll was posted a half an hour before you made your vote/comment. Usually there's way more than two votes by then.

Third on the poll. Someone once contacted me about a program, but it was just to ask permission to alter it.

well, i voted "suggestions" because that is the majority. But the first feedback was bug report, then suggestions/questions, and then ive gotten a bunch of suggestions/praises/bugs on beta tests, but those dont really count.

I don't get any feedback unless I prod people in #TCPA to try a program I made. That doesn't count because it was solicited.

I give you feedback.
