Aha. Gotcha.

This would make for a fun Oakland.pm meeting (said the member who
never goes to Oakland.pm meetings): bring several pieces of code,
and... describe why they're execrable? everyone secretly vote on
how "good" they think it is? something?

Hmm.

I'm not sure what's funnier: the Note, the Warning, or the fact that
it took me almost a minute to figure out that no, you don't run a bar.

Hmm.

Drink beer. Throw popcorn at projections of bad code.

My Monday evenings are free these next few weeks (until Venece's
semester ends and her night class is done). Name a day and I'll
probably be there. (Or I'll counteroffer.)
