Guathon

I couldn’t help but laugh at the Manchester GUATHON event registration page for Scott Guthrie.  Scott is dropping by Manchester after his visit to Dublin, and they did a great job compiling a list of “things you might not know about Scott Guthrie” which includes such gems as:

When Scott Guthrie throws exceptions, it’s across the room.
Scott Guthrie writes code that optimizes itself.
Scott Guthrie doesn’t need garbage collection because he doesn’t call .Dispose(), he calls .DropKick().
Scott Guthrie’s first program was kill -9.
Scott Guthrie can write infinite recursion functions ... and have them return.
“It works on my machine” always holds true for Scott Guthrie. 

Did they miss anything?  What do you think?

For more facts about Scott or to register for the Manchester event (Guathon 2009), click here.

See you at the Westbury on Monday.

Scott Guthrie's keyboard doesn't have a control key. The Gu is ALWAYS in control.
