I joined PerlMonks because I wanted to learn about Perl, but now I stay because...

• I want to learn about Perl
• I like to teach people about Perl
• I found a case of the most excellent red in the cellar, and I ain't leaving till it's empty [hic!]
• I'm a member of the illuminati, and I know where you live!
• It's a great pick-up joint
• I haven't got my pony yet!
• I dropped my car keys somewhere and I can't find them :<
• I'm addicted to the ChatterBox
• I've become an XP whore
• I'm waiting for paco's next question

Update:Noticed a presence in the CB just now, and realised that I missed an obvious one (pony) ;)
