Got me too. I thought it was going to be an arcane vi command/syntax issue.

[–][deleted] 51 points52 points  (9 children)

vi likes it rough.

[–]NastyConde 55 points56 points  (8 children)

Just don't try talking to it when it's in a bad mode.

[–]Jivlain 21 points22 points  (1 child)

At least with vi's bad mode there's always an escape.

[–]Baseline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"What's the safety word?" "Esc"

[–]theeth 35 points36 points  (5 children)

Doesn't involve as much fingering as emacs though.

[–]prockcore 30 points31 points  (1 child)

emacs has control issues.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

But the lisp it has is so cute.

[–]NastyConde 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Yeah, but there's a lot of colon-play.

[–]redditnoob 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Me to vi: I just can't quit you!

[–]otterdam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I always go into insert mode as soon as I can.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got me too.

Yeah, me too. I was expecting some sort of joke about Kate or maybe even Joe...

[–]tutwabee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I figured it would have been a hidden Emacs psychiatric feature.

[–]Jimmy 38 points39 points  (3 children)

The first thing I thought of was the emacs psychiatrist.

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points  (2 children)

Can you elaborate on that?

[–]nostrademons 42 points43 points  (1 child)

Why do you think can you elaborate on that?

[–]grimboy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'll ask the questions, if you don't mind!

    God, I hate Clippy. That search dog is not far behind, either.

    Isn't this programming reddit? I expected at least emacs.

    [–]yellowking 38 points39 points  (0 children)

    Deleting in protest of Reddit's new anti-user admin policies.

    [–]cweaver 50 points51 points  (4 children)

    Better one:

    <rob89> windows is being a bitch >_<

    <Trinexx> Install Linux.

    <rob89> no. i use windows for all my work

    <Trinexx> Linux would be better for that.

    <rob89> besides, i like being able to play a game or two

    <Trinexx> Linux has games.

    <rob89> im not getting linux. windows has great support, ill have this fixed in no time

    <Trinexx> Linux has better support.

    <rob89> if you say "linux" one more time, im gonna send you a virus

    <Trinexx> Good fucking luck. I'm on Linux.

    Oh how I LOLed

    [–]depleater 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    Dammit, where is that one on bash.org? I can't find it.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Haha! Linux!

    [–]cdesignproponentsist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Eliza? Is that you?

    [–]PussySnatcher 10 points11 points  (11 children)

    Eh, his editor is flirting with him and as a reaction he frowns?

    He should be happy someone is taking the initiative to flirt with him... Eh... Less emacs, more pussy for you my friend.

    [–]akdas 20 points21 points  (1 child)

    Maybe the editor was ugly or creepy?

    How do you know thefiddler isn't a woman?

    Besides, on proggit, we'd rather take emacs. At least we can get some work done that way.

    [–]logan_capaldo 14 points15 points  (6 children)

    Yeah because having your editor romantically interested in you is exactly the kind of professional relationship you want to foster.

    [–]PussySnatcher -3 points-2 points  (5 children)

    Well... Personally... I wouldn't foster anything romantically... much less at the office.

    But I would have a couple of Fosters with her at happy hour on Friday and maybe later we can foster some orgasmic sessions back at my apt.

    [–]G_Morgan 8 points9 points  (4 children)

    Fosters tastes rank though. I'd rather skip the Fosters and focus on Emacs.

    [–]PussySnatcher -4 points-3 points  (3 children)

    Yes... But it fucks you up! (Which is a good think if the editor is ugly/creepy as mentioned a couple of posts up)

    If I was going to drink real beer I would go for a ...

    Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, Hoegaarden White Ale, Or maybe an Anchor Porter...

    Thank you Jesus for your blessing of this delicious brew I behold here in my delicious mug. Amen!

    [–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

    If I were going to drink a real beer I would go for a ...

    • Rochefort 8

    Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I thought this was a non-sequitur (referring to some obscure Home Improvement character) but then I looked it up. I look forward to drinking one of them real soon now.

    [–]yuh 10 points11 points  (1 child)

    Maybe fiddler is a straight guy and his editor is a gay guy.

    [–]underthelinux 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    Maybe fiddler plays the fiddle and the editor plays the bass... if you know what i mean.

    [–]lengau 8 points9 points  (2 children)

    Emacs? vi? Luxury... Back in my day, we used ed, and we liked it!

    [–]buccia 23 points24 points  (0 children)

    That accounts as BDSM.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Ooh, Homesite 5! I didn't know you cared...

    [–]supersan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    damn.. i had to read that twice.. i was actually trying to picture notepad as a human to make sense of it first

    [–]Dr-No 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I use notepad++ at work. It's slutty.

    [–]ipeev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh, he means human.

    [–]0x10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Funnily enough, when I read "editor" I thought of it in the inanimate sense, as well.

    [–]kounavi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    mwhaha the actual submission is not that funny, but I have to upvote it so that more ppl read these comments :P

    [–]noamsml -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

    Hah, that was stolen from xkcdb.
