Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for May 26, 2013

confused, Rita, FORTRAN most obscure. Ishtar, most forgettable

fatuous, Bill Gates, Unix, foremost, Star Trek, greatest

So this must mean the end of the nerd culture references on this strip. Now anyone can just print this out and have it laminated to get their WD fix for the day.

foolish, Captain Spock, COBOL, least user-friendly, Doctor Who (the TV Movie), worst continuity (syntax is a little shaky on that last one).

Hard to believe there are WD fans that think Unix and Linux are programming languages.

Good, Dana, Dell, Most, Iron Man 3, Greatest.

hmmm… okay, I’ll try it:

Jay, Jay, my ‘bestest’ friend, even ‘Snoopy’ understands that ‘ones and zeros’ is the ‘worst’ programming language ever, and ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’ is the ‘worst’ movie of all time.…(I don’t work with computers, and Temple of Doom was just too gross to make it fun for me.)

Jay, Jay, my myopic friend! Even Rita understands that COBOL is the most obsolete programming language ever and that Battlefield Earth is the most bombastic movie of all time!

dimwitted friend, a Republican C++ most desirable Babylon 5 greatest science fiction

OrJay, Jay my presbyopic friend! Even Rita understands that visual C++ is the most useful programming language ever and that Blade Runner is the most fantastic Sci Fi movie of all time.

Jay, Jay, my illogical friend, even Don Cherry understands that Java is the the most sneaky of programming language ever, and Slap Shot is the greatest movie of all time.

Jay, Jay my left-footed friend! Even John and Scott understand that Basic is the most useful programming language ever and that Flashdance is the most inspiring movie of all time!

@Pacopuddy… at least Crystal Skull isn’t gross. I don’t really need to see some guy rip out another’s still-beating heart.

The tough part is writing it in Roy’s voice.

I knew the comments would be the best part of today’s toon. I myself only learned Basic (bought a book on C++ but could not teach myself that not motivated . I taught myself AutoCAD and the Lisp language and the old routines in the actual menu, but I’m 75 now and just not motivated to learn more languages.

Jay, Jay, my love-lorn friend, even Bill Joy knows that Java EE is the most bloated programming language ever, and The Hunger Games is the chick-flick-disguised-as-action-sci-fi-est movie of all time
