   Enjoy the R&R!

5. Welcome to Mexi-rado / Bienvenidos a Mexi-rado. 

   It’ll be a while before NH becomes Mexi-Hampshire, we have some occasional vanloads of assorted illegals getting the “catch and release” treatment up here, but there are a lot more Latinos of “Caribbean origin” around this neck of the woods, along with a plentiful number of nativised Finns and French Canadiens, who also don’t want Speedy Gonzales and his homeboyz around here, either… The bilingual signs around NH are mostly English / French, so far… Let’s keep it that way, si?  No Hablo Espanol Aqi.

   Sleep tight,

   and Don’t let the Moonbats bite.

9. Get a REAL database and you wouldn’t have these kinds of issues…

   Posted by WarWagon       03/23/2006  at  03:53 PM  



10. This was a REAL database: Oracle10g, Release 2 (10.2.0.1) in a RAC configuration, 2-node cluster on RedHat Linux Advanced Server 4.0. It turns out there is a bug in the AWR repository when spawning slave processes with STATISTICS_LEVEL set to ALL in a clustered configuration. Patch is now available from MetaLink (10.2.0.2).

    I hope you’re not suggesting MS SQL Server would be a better alternative. If so, I will have to shoot you. After extreme torture to correct your evil ways.

    Real Databases: Oracle, DB2
    Pretend Databases: MS SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Informix, Sybase

11. I was going to suggest that someone check & see if The Old Man (Naval term ) was still breathing.

12. The Skipper has been snoring through his grog-soaked beard all day but is finally awake and was last seen heading to the brig to beat some rebelliosu members of the crew to get the blood flowing again. Nothing like a good beating to get the heart pumping, eh wot?

13. Works for me! Who you got in mind  

    Posted by Oink       03/23/2006  at  06:47 PM  



14. I think Old Man needs a good flogging for getting everyone all riled up. What say you, crew? Shall we tie him to the mast and beat some sense into his head (which is obviously full of today)?

15. But Skipper, afterwards he’d only be eight inches tall—and he’s too old and feeble.
    Choose someone else, with a tough leathery skin....

    Posted by Oink       03/23/2006  at  07:36 PM  



16. Tough, leathery skin? That Old Fart has skin tougher than a rhino and he’s about as feeble as a rattlesnake. As for old ... OK, I’ll grant you that.

    Besides, we need an eight-inch-tall critter around here to chase down the ship’s mice!

    LET THE BEATINGS BEGIN!

    Cheer up, old chap, at least when you have 35 BMEWS comments, 16 of them aren’t from Oldcatman.

18. RE: 1st paragraph of post 13—fer God’s sake, Skipper, speak English!!

20. I am peerless! Yes, I am! Suck it up, Old Fart!

21. Skipper I like the idea of “showing the cat” aka “let the cat out of the bag” to the Old Cat. Ten lashes for insubordination the scurvy knave!

    As an aside it’s very interesting (to me anyway) the numbers of expressions that have come from the navy. Such as square meal, idlers and waisters (nowadays wasters), chock a block, sprog and of course “Skipper” or “The Old Man” not to be confused with the cat of course (see above)!  Wish Stin was here as he would doubtless come up with a few hundred more.

    Hope you got some much needed shut eye!

22. Tying to the mast and flogging is too mild, how about a little good old-fashioned keelhauling (gotta check for those barnacles somehow) or walking the plank…

23. Happy: BMEWS is a more enjoyable experience if you pass over The Skipper & OCM’s comments.
