Trollish Reflections

by jlongino (Parson)
on Jan 17, 2002 at 11:05 UTC ( [id://139459]=poem: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

When I read a trollish node I roll my eyes and sigh.
I wonder at the insolence and cannot fathom why.
Why do people waste our time composing worthless s**t?
When instead they could be sharing clever, priceless wit.

Update: Added be to the last line. Thanks to frankus for the catch.

    Well, i was recently inspired by some Window's "trolls" posting somewhere for no reason to put perl to the task, ... Yes, i do know better to indulge such behavior but if i can't have fun with perl, where can i have fun? I posted a similiar "liner" (as below) after the "troll", and stated that i "felt this summed up the point (s)he was trying to make",... 
    perl -e'@arr=qw(k r o d c d n a c l l o r t c a c m a c i c e m c d n 
+i m c t n o d c e s a e l p); s/c/ / for @arr;print reverse @arr;prin
+t"\n";'

    Ahh, ... it feels good to confess, hopefully all here can understand,..
