OT: Idea for Python T-shirt

[Christos TZOTZIOY Georgiou]

(Don't mind me, my frequent late night "I should be sleeping by now"
brainstorm)

A python smiling, its body curled in the background, 1's and 0's visible
in its body visibly grouped in fours, and below the slogan:

"With Python your nibbles explode with desire"

I'll do one for myself

If you plan to try selling them, note that in North America it's
generally "nybble", by analogy with "byte". Nibble is the British
English spelling.

Also, I don't get it...

I guess he refers to the other meaning of nibble (from dictionary.com):

1. A very small quantity, especially of food; a morsel.

Both you and Christos need to brush up on your Monty Python:

Then I _really_ don't get it.

I think its a reference to the misleading Hungarian phrase book sketch!
See, eg

Based on the hungarian phrase-book sketch from the Flying Circus... "my
nipples explode with desire!"

Right! It was "delight", not "desire"! Thank you Richie...

No, I got that part, although I didn't remember it was "delight"
and not "desire". I just don't understand the combination of
things in the image: bits in the stomach of the snake, with
that having nothing to do (that I can see) with the "explode
with delight" part...

I guess it's the mixture of the snake and the Monty Python
reference... seems somehow "wrong".

Yeah, that part was obvious (to an MP fan). But why the bit-eating
snake then? It's gratuitous at that point. Oh, wait, were the ones
and zeros supposed to be "exploded nibbles"? That's a reach...

Well, I won't pretend that my pun was cleverly funny, I'll just say that
I thought it was simply funny... My whole idea was of Python processing
happily data, which grouped in fours were nibbles, and there came the
pun of s/p/b/g as Tim said; the "desire" instead of "delight" part of
course was a misteak due to weak memory.

PS I would gladly buy an "import this" T-shirt too. I think that
T-shirts could be an alternative income source for PSF.

Believe it or not, I missed the connection between "grouped in fours"
and "nibbles". Duh...

Agreed. I'd buy two!

Actually, the first thing I thought of was the
after-dinner mint scene from "Meaning of Life".

I'll do one for myself

Personally, I wouldn't post an announcement to Usenet that I'm about
to "do one for myself", even when my nibbles /are/ exploding with
desire. Maybe it's a cultural difference; Anglo-Canadians can be
pretty modest about such things.

Oh, you were talking about the t-shirt...
