Re: What will the Perl6 code name be?
Oh my, Thaddeus is posting again... >Sorry to mention the code name thing again, I thought the whole >endeavor rather silly. I rather think *you* are more silly. And mean, conceited and small. Remember Ajdin Brandic. How you *wasted* the time of hundreds of people trying to prove how *important* and *angry* you were..? Twice? If you're tired of abusing eleven year olds... Please, try me. >I just stumbled upon the dictionary definition below, so I submit it >for due (mis)consideration: In your case, "thumbled" is more correct. > pearly everlasting: n., a rhizomatous plant > (anaphalis margaritacea) with long-lasting > whitish flower heads. Seems applicable; whitish flower heads match your 'white heads'. It is a pock-marked and pimple-faced bit of texas-tadpole, after all. >Perl 6 is to be "the last Perl". Finally, something agreeable. Here, I emphasize "last" as in "end". >I suggest we refrain from doing anything with that "phalis" part... Why? You never refrained from doing things with your "phalic" bit. Now I get it. You meant "refrain from doing anything..." with *girls*. You're a sly one, tadpole. Down in Texas, nothin' but steers and... > end of today's tadpole whacking Ajdin: If you're reading this... Unless you really *enjoy* perlish abuse...make the switch to PHP! The free world's most popular internet scripting language doesn't suffer from a *god complex*, inflated egos or #! -demented syntax. PHP people *will not* abuse you for asking questions...even for a misplaced post like you submitted to < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Please visit: >< http://www.php.net > >< http://www.zend.com> PHP: server-side scripting at its open source best: no more CGI's. Oh, Adjin...one more thing: Stay away from Tad. He's like, mental. Cheers! Yaphet heretics of perl -- -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su
