No matter how you read the title to this post, let me assure you… it is NOT about my Thingamahoochie.

It is about a guy at work and his Thingamahoochie not working. I have a picture to prove it!

Ok, ok, enough fake inuendo.  This is just one of those fun geek observations that probably only humors me, but this is my blog and I get to post what I want.

If you are around IT for very long you run across some strange people, some strange code, and occasionally, some strangely named code (and people.)

Today, a guy who works with me walked by several times while I was having a conversation with someone else and I couldn’t tell if he needed to talk to me and even more intriguing, I couldn’t tell if he was smiling or boiling.

I’m taking some journalistic license with the following, but trust me… this is how it went down in my head…

I finally finished my conversation and he immediately stopped and asked if I’d ever seen the Thingamahoochie on his machine?

Uhhh, no. I’ve seen a Thingamahoochie, but not on your machine and definitely not YOUR Thingamahoochie and most definitely not at work.  Plus this is a professional workplace – you can’t be talking about that here at least not in the hallways

“Come here and let me show you my Thingamahoochie.”

Obviously he was just joking around and knew I would find it amusing, but this is one of those times it was just too good to not remember and share so I thought I’d show you his Thingamahoochie right here – I circled it in red in case it was too small to see easily:

Yes, it is just a computer registry setting, but you have to admit it is a weird name and it makes you think… “What were they thinking?”

I hope it made you smile at least once.  Have a great day!
