my ($thingy) = $_ =~ /^:::(.*)/;

This is the text:

:::This is a some text. Today you watered the dog and
bathed the plants. The server asked you what permission you
had to tell it what to do on it's day off. This was your day.:::

I am doing something very silly here.
I have looked over my copy of Mastering Regular Expressions and still haven't figured this out.
I swear one day I'm going to read it cover to cover.
