G'day 👁️🍾👍🦟,

"Suggestions for alternative Ovid emojis welcome. :-) "

Having seen a fair amount of his code, maybe:

$ uparse 🐪🧙

============================================================
String: '🐪🧙'
============================================================
🐪      U+1F42A  DROMEDARY CAMEL
🧙      U+1F9D9  MAGE
------------------------------------------------------------

While I don't imagine O'Reilly would have a problem with that, if they did:

$ uparse 🧅🧙

============================================================
String: '🧅🧙'
============================================================
🧅      U+1F9C5  ONION
🧙      U+1F9D9  MAGE
------------------------------------------------------------

or

$ uparse 🦪🧙

============================================================
String: '🦪🧙'
============================================================
🦪      U+1F9AA  OYSTER
🧙      U+1F9D9  MAGE
------------------------------------------------------------

[For those unfamiliar with the O'Reilly/Perl/Camel issue, "Open Letter To Tim O'Reilly To Free The Perl Camel" was the most recent reference I could find. It also includes a lot of background and historical information.]

As a bit of a tongue-in-cheek suggestion to close on, whenever I see "Curtis 'Ovid' Poe", I immediately think of "Edgar Allan Poe", so perhaps just this would suffice:

$ uparse 😱

============================================================
String: '😱'
============================================================
😱      U+1F631  FACE SCREAMING IN FEAR
------------------------------------------------------------
