when it snows i just pretend i'm taking my drivers license test again ... you know actually following the speed limit, 3-4 second gaps, turn signals, not zipping down the passing lane the whole time
Actually, let's make a golf: Make the most perverse and abused method that's at least 2kb long (bonus points for longer, double bonus points for longer while still seeming necessary) that prints at random a string that matches the following regex: ^Good (Morning|Afternoon|Evening|Night)$
Come on, any taker?
This is the best one before the challenge was issued formally. It's based on that TDWTF post
@PopularDemand After three votes, the message is sent to the database memory tube, where all traces of it is purged from the Earth. The user may also be disappeared, depending on how much our mod post police determines it breaches goodanswer guidelines.
@MarcGravell Same queue as "flag for mod attention" with boilerplate text, or a new, separate queue? (In other words, if I use the "see full post" link and "flag for removal" disappears, can I use a "regular" mod flag or would that mess up your workflow?)
@YiJiang People just turn their questions into complete garbage by typing random characters and crap to try and cover up what they were originally asking that they, for some reason, shouldn't have been getting help with.
My access log on my web server has a ton of http HEAD requests coming from porn sites.
What are HEAD requests and are they doing something bad with my site?
Here is an excerpt from my log:

It's probably worth pointing out that since you have enough rep to create chat rooms, you can make your own and individually allow write access to whoever you want, regardless of their rep. Once you've made the room, go to the room's info page, click the "access" tab, and add users under the "exp...
I feel bad when I point out features and that causes devs to remove them :)
OK, so in the spirit of Code-Golf, I'm trying out something new here: Code-Bowling.
In golf, you try to get the lowest score (smallest application, most elegant, etc). In Bowling, you try to get the highest score. So if you follow, the goal of a Code-Bowling challenge is to make the biggest, m...
I request getting real reputation requirements for real features, like bevels, lens flare, snow effects and fancy jQuery animations. Reflections are fine too.
Users from three rows behind me are supposed to peek at my monitor, see the awesome and say "oooh this must be some badass user."
@radp You've got it all wrong. I request that at 10k SO acknowledge that you're clearly using it during work hours, and change to a theme that resembles an editor filled with code
I've just dig up this user on SU, which seems like a Spam-User against a website for document converting. The website however is free to use (registration needed, though) and might even be helpful in some of the answered questions.
My first thought was to flag and edit everything I find of that ...
function istrue(value){ bool = Boolean(Boolean(value)) // you never know if(typeof bool == "Boolean" && Boolean(bool)==true) // you never know return true
@PopularDemand yeah. Maybe he needs a reminder that he should point out his affiliation... As said, onlinedocumentconversion.com frequently pop up with spam users, see the linked Meta question. Poonam needs to be nuked from orbit.
I was just trying to moderator flag a post to send the moderator an important message, but couldn't possibly fit it in the comment box. If you're not going to give space to send a full message, then stop playing around and delete the comment box.
You really messed up Stack Exchange.
OK, there you go... NOW quickly send me some money so I can leave this country and live on some random pacific island where I built pitfalls and hide in the jungle so I'm safe from Crockford....

tims = Array()

Here's one from me, in PHP. There are at least a few WTFs in it, at least a few bugs, and way too much over-engineering. Enjoy...

Chaining aka Extension methods
This is commonly used in jQuery (to pull a different language and framework that a lot of people have some familiarity with) and I've seen lots of people doing it in C# stuff. If you need to see more C# examples let me know and I can quote you some links.

No really, the guy won't try to write his own code. I'm about to tell him to sod off
I posted for the frustration in the guy's not listening, he's off on some "oh I don't think it will work" tangent. I know projects that are written in Fluent like he's talking about and they do what he's saying and I gave him the tools. GEEEEZ

Can you not define the constructer methods as internal? This should allow you to create objects inside your code but not outside of your code.
Don't worry... I won't actually do it, just would like to know how.
