Dunno how long it's been there, but I stumbled across Saint Larry's State of the Onion 2000 at O'Reilly tonight.

Hope I don't get sued for quoting just one funny line:
"Long, long ago at a campfire far away, somebody discovered that pigs have spare ribs. At least they're spare after all the meat is gone. Well, at least the pig doesn't need them anymore."

    Looks like the typeist it up wasn't a coder:

    ...and there's general consensus that type gloves may have outlived their usefulness...

    ...we could scrap Excess for something better...

    Larry: Not the Ox to Perl translators. I wrote that.

    ...The problem with identification division is it really puts a crimp in Perl's poetry, or in Cobalt poetry.

    It was a great talk - especially considering that the whole of the second half was completely rewritten less than a day beforehand :)
