Heh. I did much the same thing in alt.callahans years back, although
it's not abstracted anywhere I know.

[LOL!] Rick, I read that thing and adored its insanity a *long* time
back. My evil past comes back to haunt me...

Speaking of which, got an email today: an ex-student of mine who is in
the military happened to be in Hawaii this week, and heard somebody
singing praises of a really great Perl instructor who lives on a boat...
So the new guy says, "are you talking about Ben Okopnik, by any chance?"
You could hear the delicate sound of jaws dropping in the resulting
silence.

[chuckle] I'm told that they'll raise a couple of beers to me when they
get off work tonight.
