What's your longest variable name?

I'd take a ziplock baggie along, fill it at need, and leave it in the aisle before I'd pay to use the facilities! "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)
:omg: You wouldn't! Would you?
I don't know whether it's just the light but I swear the database server gives me dirty looks everytime I wander past. -Chris Maunder Microsoft has reinvented the wheel, this time they made it round. -Peterchen on VS.NET

:omg: I understand he need Visual Assist to complete his variable names then..... /M

just imagine him coding before Intellisense feature was added. I am certain it was a nightmare. My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

:wtf: No way! That's horrible. Was the customer mentally okay? I don't think anyone would confuse display models from an actual restroom.

I knew it would end badly when I first met Chris in a Canberra alleyway and he said 'try some - it won't hurt you'..... - Christian Graus on Code Project outages Damned nice for remote servers where using Enterprise Manager is like wadding through treacle while covered in velcro, upside down -Paul Watson on SQL Server Query Analyser

Oh my... I actually did that as a very small child. I sure hope that wasn't me :-O. This wouldn't have been in the Silicon Valley area, would it've? :~

No Domenic, it wasn't you:-D This happenned in Bullhead City, AZ. Size of the spoor indicated to the trained tracker that the game afoot was not small, but very large indeed! The lack of any nearby paper products led us further to surmise that perpetrator left wearing a dress to cover up the dirty deed.

Last week we had the discussion about the stupidest variable names[^]. Today I was reading the WholeTomato forum and stumbled over this message[^]. This guy is complaining, that VisualAssist does not recognize variables with names longer than 100 characters. The VisualAssist guy asked him for an example, that they know the actual required length. The guy answered:
szRegistryAnalysisCategoryItemTextReportColumnRelativeQuantityToCalibratorAverageMinus1StandardDeviation
:omg: 105 characters! I think this variable may be on top 1 of the stupidest variable names. :wtf: So, what's your longest variable names? Are you able to overtrump that guy? Regards Thomas Sonork id: 100.10453 Thömmi

Actually I worked with a guy who i'd consider a pretty good programmer but he always insisted on using these gawd_awful_long_fully_qualified_names - this is ASP not 3D, I'd think to myself. Anyway, during a code review a guy suggested he declare memory space for his var names. I spit coffee all over the conference table. priceless. ;P
