I think Tim Ford aka SQLAgentMan was the first with this, but now it’s turned into a monster. On Twitter, we’re trading SQL putdowns. You can find ‘em on search.twitter.com by searching for #SQLputdowns.
Update - Jason Massie aka StatisticsIO even did a Captain Varchar(MAX) comic about the #SQLputdowns, and there’s some funnies in the comments.
Update #2 - the day’s winding down but this meme is still going strong, and here’s my personal favorites from the chatter:
