Last month we met on February 13th.  This month, March 13th.  I realize that
this happens almost every March, but I'm taking it as a sign, anyway.

What kind of sign?  A sign that we should either do something new or not!

Heroes, MacGrady's, Gute... or maybe Bethlehem Brew Works, Roosevelt's 21st,
something else?  I am open to suggestions.  Frankly, though, I'm leaning toward
More Hometown Heroes.  Disco Fries and Beatty burger!

Wednesday at 18:00.  Make a suggestion and I'll post a definitive answer on
Monday!

Im always down for disco fries. Although I still say that the nachos at
Porter's Pub in Easton are pretty awesome. Its a proverbial hike though.
I'll liken it to a marathon, where for me the reward of a marathon is at
the end you get to stop running and sleep for as long as possible, then eat
nachos. The reward for going to Porters is that you get to eat nachos
without having to do all that hard work. I am probably building up some
ridiculous and unrealistic expectation. So, screw it - lets eat disco fries
and drink chetty from pitchers and talk over HH's television.

I abstain, making the vote:

  Hometown Heroes: 1
  Anything else  : 0

See you there, Wednesday, at six.

I can't make it this month, so I also respectfully abstain.  But I do
hope to finally back it back to ABE.pm in April.  Just do me a favor
and don't all get tired of disco fries and chetty before then!

Next month, we'll meet April 13th rather than April 6th.  I'll be at the Perl
QA Hckathon on April 6th, and by moving it a week later, we might be able to
get Stevan Little and Shawn Moore to stop in on their way to the DC/Baltimore
Perl Workshop.

Sadly, no!

But I'll still be there, so party on!

Here, have an amusing excerpt from p5p:

  Each of the core's C source code files start with a quote from Lord of the
  Rings. Many are right on the money. toke.c's is:

   *  'It all comes from here, the stench and the peril.'    --Frodo

  This is quite apt, as toke.c is 12127 lines of near-impenetrable magic.
  Chaim Frenkel's summary is well known:

    Perl's grammar can not be reduced to BNF. The work of parsing perl is
    distributed between yacc, the lexer, smoke and mirrors.

  Larry recently offered a more quantitative evaluation:

    of the four or five ways a compiler can cheat, Perl 5 uses about eight
    of them
