So Riddler’s not coming in today. I tipped him off last night that I had a doctor’s appointment early this morning so I guess he figured that was as good enough an excuse as any to avoid my burning contempt.

Now usually when he’s not coming in I get a phone call. Not a phone call to say, ‘I’m not coming in today’ but rather, ‘I can’t remember how to access the server from home. Or how to use the tool to connect to the server. Again.’ To put this in context, I’ve received this same phone call about 5 times in the past month. To be fair, the software does require one step. Click ‘add file’, select the file, click ‘ok’.

Alright, maybe that’s 3 steps. But it ain’t that complicated. Actually, if he followed my instructions (emailed, forwarded and printed for him, and covered step-by-step in person), this wouldn’t even be necessary. But I digress…

Now, the reason this was so enjoyable today wasn’t the predictable ‘how do I use this?’ question but rather his interpretation of the program’s name. Pageant. As in, a beauty pageant. But what did I get? A number of variations..

Riddler:
I don’t see the file in the pagan tee thing program.
The page ant doesn’t have the file.
Pagen ant doesn’t show the file.
What do you call this thing?
HPDEB:
Pageant.
Riddler:
Oh yeah, of course.

And so, Page Ant is born and God’s Hated Child is lusting after a new moniker.
