Maple Bacon Lollipops at #SQLPASS

By the time you read this, I’ll have given out a bunch of maple bacon lollipops at the PASS Summit.

Maple Bacon Lollipops, aka Man Bait

I ran across these at Whole Foods and immediately bought the entire box.  Erika thought I was crazy.  (Well, I mean, to some extent she’s thought that for years, but this kinda reinforced her case.)  They’re all-natural maple-syrup-flavored lollipops with flecks of bacon inside.

BACON. IN A LOLLIPOP.

When strangers want to lure grown men into vans, this is what they use – as evidenced by the laptop’s name, “Man Bait.”  I’ll give you a moment to wash that thought out of your mind.

I taped my Moo Cards to the back, and I used these as bait to entice SQL Server professionals to race to the SQLServerPedia booth.  My evil knows no bounds.

You can buy your own maple bacon lollipops at Amazon for less than a buck apiece.  This has to be the cheapest bribes you’ll ever use.

Quest PASS Breakfast Event: Dine & DMVs

What do these things have in common:

Give up?  We’re all going to be in exactly the same place at the same time: room 611 at the PASS Summit at 7:00 AM on Wednesday, November 4th!  Quest Software is sponsoring a free breakfast event called Simplify SQL Server Management with DMVs.  Each of us presenters is going to tackle a different area of the Dynamic Management Views & Functions and explain how it can be used for good, not evil.  And maybe evil too.

You can register to attend in-person, and registered attendees will be entered into a drawing for a free netbook.  Must be present to win!

If you’re not going to PASS, we’ll bring PASS to you – register to watch the webcast live.
