    ……..I feel like the rebuttal “We find trouble, and shoot it” works here somewhere…

      I think in this instance, it’s the trouble that’s shooting them.

      I ran and played first edition. It was true that it was rare to get out of the briefing without using a few, if not all, of your clone bodies.

      And that’s still one of my day to day mottoes.

      The benign presence of Friend Computer _would_ explain a few things about this whole scenario… 🙂

        Orders a beer on someone else’s tab. Orders a bear. Orders 1000000 beers one at a time. Orders an order. Orders the same beer he just drank. Orders the first beer he ordered (which he didn’t drink). Orders all of the beers on offer in chronological order. Orders all previous orders ordered by word order.

          All the time bearing in mind the Client gets his paws on it all your hard work will be for naught.
          He’ll find something to crash it that you didn’t think was worth testing.

          Bartender gives up, quits, marches out the back setting fire to the bar on his way out, doesn’t tell the QA Engineer.

          You won’t if you start messing around with the furniture like that. Or if you try to inject malformed SQL into the bartender, for that matter.

        Bartender refuses to serve QA Engineer on the basis that he’s clearly already drunk.

    Now I can’t help but wonder how the characters got past the Antisphinx in the original Whimsy movie.

      Maybe in the original movie the tone was lighter, so they were able to stop him by asking “Why are you so mean, Antisphinx?”.

      In the original, it had to answer correctly. This one, the coder gave up on that after someone tried “Why?”

        “Because.” C’mon, that’s the classic canned response!

    After a turn of the third degree,
    In the Whimsey Future World that we can see,
    Came a laserin’ asunderin’ and making screams,
    With the pale blue Antisphinx’s laser beams.
    Out of the mists, a horse with a horn.
    Baron von Mistycorn was his form.
    Giving a try, and giving a bye,
    As we watch for his duplicates to multiply.

    Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more.
    Our buddy, Real Baron, was openin’ the door.
    Easier tried, seein’ that there were three
    Of our buddy, Real Baron, determine-y.

    —from “Snoopy vs. The Red Baron,” the Royal Guardsmen.

    So our intrepid heroes are now in the Antisphinx’s digestive system?
