    [Daily plank meeting – William Liu – Medium](https://medium.com/@william.liu/daily-plank-meeting-732456e6f7b1) Next up, Agile smoothies.. :laugh:

    Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

    Do not know how with others, but we used to walk on the floor of the meeting room... No way I lay down on that dirt!

    Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

      Since when are daily plank meetings[^] something new?

      The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

        He probably got inspiration from the fact that everyone says he's as thick as two short planks.

          If this were co-ed and some minor modifications were made to the activities whilst not speaking, I might buy into this bupkis mit keduchas[^] - which is possibly the next step for the cult. If you follow link, read the 'usage notes'.

            Agile sucks - luckily it's now heading into it's death throes but plank meetings ... a really good idea, I've almost fallen off my seat in too many meetings, maybe I'll forward this to health & safety. ... then again it's harder to drink coffee when lying down, and that really helps me sleep.

                  daily status update: "I accomplished nothing during the 7 hours after our lie down yesterday because I was too consumed thinking 'Holy elephant my back elephanting hurts' to concentrate on anything else. There were minor glimmers of recovery this morning, but the first part of this cluster elephant has already resulted in a >200% regression from the starting situation. I predict the only thing I'll do during the next 24 hours is to fill out a disability application from home." :doh:

                  Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                        You're supposed to be standing in the stand-ups (although we do have one or two people in our team who sit down at the stand-ups). Can you still call it a stand-up if you're doing a hand-stand? I've just had a great idea for the next fad.. :laugh:

                                    Agile sucks - luckily it's now heading into it's death throes but plank meetings ... a really good idea, I've almost fallen off my seat in too many meetings, maybe I'll forward this to health & safety. ... then again it's harder to drink coffee when lying down, and that really helps me sleep.

                                    Sin tack the any key okay

                                    Oh, you teaser, giving me sweet but false hope.

                                    If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

                                      Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

                                        Have you seen any of your coworkers? A few planks wouldn't hurt.
