YSaC, Vol. 365: I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do Kathryn.

Fabulous girl – w4m (las vegas )


<Judy
Name Kathryn
Age Years

Poor Kathryn. She’s always getting compared to Judy. Even non-sentient computers are doing it now.

Wait, I’m confused. Which one’s fabulous? If Judy is fabulous, what does that make Kathryn? And if Kathryn is fabulous, what superlative does that leave for Judy?

Less than Judy would be a awesome name for a band, though.

Submitted by Doug — thanks!

And just in case you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out the live video version of one our earlier spambot postings — it’s so worth it.

    Oh God. Less than Judy.

    Judy is my husband’s ex-wife’s name.

    Stupid computer.

    At least her age is in years. It could be decades or centuries which would be awkward.

    I could care less about her age. Is she femaletrait1? or just femaletrait2?

    I’m guessing that Kathryn is the fabulous girl, but she’s less fabulous than Judy. Thank goodness her age is in years, minutes would be much harder to calculate

        So, if Kathryn is less than Judy, and Judy does not equal Ezra, could Kathryn BE Ezra? Will I take a pounding for that one? 8)

    Whenever I see the name Judy, I can’t resist the urge to spout that tired old Cary Grant line: “Judy, Judy, Judy.”

    I just finished reading the entire xkcd archives. The mouseovers were maddening. Thanks, Mindfield. I would like a print of the “Windmill”. And many of the romantic ones. And now to sleep, perchance to sleep.

      You are awesome Smedley. I love that movie.

      Edit: I thought I loved that movie until I read it was never actually in any movies. I wonder what the hell I was thinking of.

      Edit Edit: I think I may have been thinking of Bringing Up Baby for some reason but there are no Judys in that. Ah well. That was a good movie at least. My mom is named Judy does that help?

    Hey Judy!


    Hey Judy you’re less than Kate
    It’s a sad fact, but she is better
    Remember her sum is more than your parts
    Then you can start to apply makeup better

    Hey Judy don’t be afraid
    You were told to go out and get surgery
    The minute the doc gets under your skin
    Then you begin to make it better

    And any time you feel the pain, Hey Judy, morphine
    Don’t put that bag upon your shoulders
    For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
    By making her boobs a little bolder
    Da da da da da
    da da da da

    Hey Judy don’t let me down
    You have rounder ones now go and get her
    Remember to let them out, your parts
    Then you can start to make it better

    So nip it out and tuck it in
    Hey Judy begin
    You’re waiting for someone to perform it
    And don’t you know that it’s just you
    Hey Judy you won’t do
    The movement you need is on your shoulder knees

    Da da da da da
    da da da da Yeah

    Hey Judy you’re less than Kate
    It’s a sad fact, but she is better
    Remember her sum is more than your parts
    Then you can start to apply makeup better
    Better, better, better, better, better, Yeah,Yeah,Yeah

      I don’t think I’ve ever been in a box with a llama and a cat before. It sounds like a Dr. Seuss story is about to begin. Or possibly Richard Scarry. (“What Do People Do All Day In the Box”).

      Fortunately, my dog thinks cats are the world’s most wondrous creatures. I’m not sure what she thinks of llamas, but I will explain to her about our beneficent overlords, bees be upon them, and she will probably be OK with it.

        The storms pretty much missed us; a lot of heavy rain, some branches down, that sort of thing. The cats, for the most part, were terrified and hid during the worse of it, Firefly just curled up on the photon and took a nap.

    Oi, freaky!

    MY name is Judy. And my seven-year-old daughter’s name is (note spelling) Katherine. I can assure you:

    Katherine > Judy where CUTE / EYELASHES / RANDOMNESS / ENERGY / NUMBER OF CLOTHING ITEMS WHICH ARE PINK = factor

    However, Judy > Katherine where AGE / EDUCATION / LITERACY / HEIGHT / ALAS, WEIGHT / WIT = factor.

    Let’s just be clear about these things, shall we?
