There's clever metaphors for the act of programming, and then there's... this:

Why would you wrap it with the "A" tag without actually giving a HREF?
-
Oh man, there are some comparisons that just should not be made. This is one.
On the other hand, thinking of in this way might give you a higher satisfaction once you "make a baby."
Or it might make you want to go rub one out in the middle, then forget all about orchid, and never get anything done.

Argh. Thor as my witness, I'll never trust silly little link maker GUIs again.

This won't get out of my head, so I'll go ahead and say it:
Hyperlinks: You're doing it wrong
Please.. think of the keystrokes!
But yes.. that's all sorts of WTF. Especially since the person couldn't even spell something as simple as "virgin".

Haha! Use the plain-text editor like me (Opera doesn't like TinyMCE). Can't blame it on the editor then.

Just in case you had styled in your browser's default stylesheet?

It gets really disturbing when you get to page 2 and they describe collaboration using Subversion in terms of bukakke..

IMO the worst part was to call step 4 "The last drop....", srsly WTF???!!?!?

Following the metaphor a little farther
Like most babies and many PHP apps, the orchid baby may regularly crap all over itself for the next two years. Off to make mod_diaper for Apache...

So the rest of us could hide behind a corner and watch you desparately attempt to click it while yelling "link, damnit LINK ALREADY!!!!!!"

Links with an address look different than empty anchors, so futile clicking is not in the cards. I'd actually never seen what it would do when it was empty. In this case, when I went to highlight for copy/paste, it made a black underline upon hover. So, I checked what caused that. I wondered why someone would go through the trouble of surrounding it with the A tag like that. I didn't know the editor would do that. shrug

Seriously. One can't go through the quagmire for long without running into all of those terms.
I wanted to see what Google had to say about it, so I did define:bukkake. I don't know why, but I find the presentation mildy humorous.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm still scarred from all those nasty friggin' pics I saw in the 90s. Bukkake is mild compared to those things.

I like the "<font size="-1">a fetish where multiple (up to 200) men" </font>part. "Multiple" gets you thing 3 or 4, not 200.

I'm having to contain my laughter at the thought of a naked woman looking like she was just birthed by an alien.
The worst fetish on the planet: Scat Fetish. GD pics of that make me want to hurl. The gag reflex triggers like mad when I see one of those. Why oh why do people insist on putting those things where they don't belong?!

It's like a Rick Roll, but way funnier.

It's twisted and sick. Making someone want to puke is isn't funny. I plant rickroll traps in various places, but I'd rather see war pics or decaying bodies than scat ones. Of course, I have mid-level coprophobia, so that might be why I'm so adverse to it. It's like shoving someone with acrophobia (which I also have) near the edge of a cliff.

There you go. If I had an intense fear of Rick Astley, I'd be furious at you for Rick Rolling me.

I bet that is extremely rare compared to mine. Plus, I tend to rickroll with variants. My current favs are a Mario Paint one and an 8-bit/chiptune one.

Nah. That tends to fall on the computer illiterates. They almost faint around acronyms.

Ha..ha. The thing is, acrobats have the same prefix (acro-) as the phobia. I wonder why?
Now, I wouldn't blame anyone for having coulrophobia. Seriously.. most of them look mean, like the one from IT.

Somehow I missed this one. At least the ones I do don't have vocals.

That would probably be true if we had an IT department. Right now, SysOps likes to pretend they are also IT, but any advanced stuff falls on me (usually to fix one of their f-ups).
