Violence in Spreadsheet Execution

Image via Wikipedia

In my most popular tweet yet, I wandered into uncharted waters and mentioned that I had linked to cell AK47 in a spreadsheet I was blasting through.

I frequently attack very large spreadsheets, so I am sure that I have spied cell AK47 many times along with many other interesting coordinates, but I just happened to notice this time. I have seen the inside of many cells in my fight for dataocracy. Does that make me an ex-POW? Anyway…

Alfred Thompson fired back with, “does the link come from M16 or AR15 ? ”

Almost like a game of Battleship, I checked and reported two white pegs.

The link was actually coming from F47 which I thought at first must be a fighter jet but discovered that it was actually a British Frigate named Danae.

Somewhere near this time Paul Quillman was firing a long range missile from all the way over on FaceBook (sorry no links inside the walled garden until we can breach their defenses), and then Robert Hruzek (Dr. Bob) sewed it all up (as in stitches) with a title for the rapid fire exchange, “Violence in Spreadsheet Execution.”

At this point I nearly exploded in laughter, but squelched the insurgence since my client (state) was about 10 feet away and I wanted to avoid any collateral damage.

Note: No spreadsheets were harmed in the production of this (miltary) post. No computers were crashed, and strangely enough, no columns were collapsed. Although, there was a row of sorts about the pronunciation of EZ4:U28.
