So, so tired…

Especially when they can be spackled over any chunk-laden, foul-smelling puddle worthy of Proverbs 26:11

So here’s a couple of revised ones:

• One Piece At a Time and It Didn’t Cost Me a Dime
• Ass with a Tattoo of an Ass with a Tattoo of an Ass Tattooed On It
• Recursion Means Having A Static Number of Slots to Capture Nested Structure (three should be sufficient in all cases, unless you need ten, then use ten)
• Hermaphroditic Hobby Night
• Half Blind, Toothless Ouroboros
• State Fair Fun House Hall of Mirrors
• Big Balloon of Shit and Filth
• Big Pile of Agile Jacksmack
• All Process No Progress
• Maximize Generality when Something Only Applies to Two Cases
• Gets Treated Like Something It’s Not And Doesn’t Even Act Like
• Horror Beyond Horrors
• Nucleus of Undreamable Hideousness
• Accursed Ancient Burial Ground
• Mannysaurus Rex “Elegant” Exit Continuation
• Small Mechanism with Horrible and Sprawling Consequences
• Byzantine Clockwork of Crap

Without pretense of originality, I point out that “Byzantine Clockwork of Crap” is a 2002 invention of Chris Rude. “Horror beyond horrors” and “nucleus of undreamable hideousness” were inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, who managed to coin both of them in a single sentence in “The Shunned House”. “One Piece At a Time and It Didn’t Cost Me a Dime” is from Turing Award winning computer systems designer Johnny Cash.
