Re: What Are You Doing For Perl?

I don't shoot people from a tower with a high powered rifle screaming, "I do this for Perl!!!"
I pants Ruby developers at conferences and tie tin cans to the bumpers of the modestly priced imports Python developers can afford. When they look silly, their languages look silly.
I put 500 iron nails into a goat head spelling out "Java Die" on the last new moon.
I make an effort to begin every sentence I write about Perl with "I."
I write apologist tracts for Perl 4 style and the continued use of cgi-lib.
I am extremely proud of how humble I am regarding my amazing Perl skills.
I have uploaded 23 "patches" to PHP containing security bugs.
I ask Matt Trout at least once a week to stop swearing so much as it lessen the impact of the profanity I place in my own presentations and code comments.
I never use warnings or strict as reliance on good practices weakens the Perl gene pool and makes us susceptible to invasion.

I don't shoot people from a tower with a high powered rifle.... I'm surprised this node has received such a high vote. I personally don't find any humor in callous references to tragic shooter incidents like Charles Whitman. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]

Whereas I'm surprised your node only received five downvotes. Is not 43 years long enough to start to consider something fair play? If not, may I commend you to the comedy stylings of one Anthony Jeselnik and recommend burying or at least cremating your sense of humor before it goes any gamier?	[reply]
