It's fun - you should try it.

"He could disarm you with his macro expander or syntax-disarm... either
way",
"He's eager, not lazy... but he's lazy too, so don't get any ideas"
"Fella's, leave mutation to the C programmers.  If I see set(!)s in your
code, they'd better be for a collection of unordered elements"
"It's never too early to start organizing into modules"
"He uses recursion... to use recursion"
"He never pays state tax"
"He is the world's most functional man"

p.s. (I think mulhern's are still better, use those)
