w00t! Party for Gregory!

[pat eyler]

That's right. I'm pretty awesome. Maybe RubyTalk can throw a party
in honor of me!

I say we do it. We should all celebrate Greg's awesomeness. Wherever you
are, take 5 minutes to party wildly and think of Greg.

I just danced around my office in honor of Greg wearing nothing but a
party hat and a smile, but that's just how I roll.

I hope this wasn't your one phone call, 'cuz I'm probably not going to be
able to make it out there for a while. ;^)

My dance was space delimited and only took a few seconds. Perhaps
that was too concise. Would a better designed dance with larger
vertical leaps have been more appropriate?

I refactored my dance into short but reusable steps

Hmmm ... I just created an infinitely spawning script! Need an exit!
after the "Party.new.party(1)" line; otherwise each forked child will
drop through back into the 300.times loop and start the process all
over again.

<sigh>

My efforts at humor are wrought with bugs. More coffee is needed.
