Using a little poetic license, and realizing that CGF
never does anything with the expectation of failure
implied above:

Meanwhile, I'll teach my dog to play the piano == MITMDTPTP


I know what you're going to say, "It's too complicated!"
But ... I taught the acronym to my dog, Phydeaux.

And, you gotta love any acronym of this sort that begins
with MIT, ends with two TPs, has an MD in the middle,
contains no obscentities and refers to man's best friend.

wtf is lake Obscentiticaca, I've seen beavis and butthead,
I've also seem dumber confusion than with windoze variabbles.

Without knowing wtf the original poster could have been doing, using
windoze variable at some point could have been important and maybe
there is some obscure problem with unknown bloda.

  Cornholio often claims to come from Lake Titicaca.
  Lee typo'd obscenities in a way that made it sound like "obscene titties".
  I put the two together.

  So your current explanation is that you don't know what the OP was doing, or
what might have happened, or what caused whatever it was that happened to
happen, but you wanted to point out that it might have had something to do
with environment variables, and that some other unknown thing might have had
an unknown effect on them in some unknown way?  Uh, OK.

    cheers,

  You think that's my name?  Either you can't tell the difference between a
name and an email address, or you must think my parents were incredibly
farsighted!

  Attention span, much?  See that bit up at the top there?

  We call this thing an "attribution line"(*).  And I figured Beavis and
Butthead were famous enough to count as part of our shared cultural milieu.

    cheers,

-- 
(*) - inb4 any kind of "attribution?  are you sure that's the same thing as
crediting an original source?" nonsense arises.
