So you have better designs compared to those who seek further conciseness in
a language. If only those folks of poor ability could design so well as
you.

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 did, but the cops came and arrested me. Please come bail me out. :wink:

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 :wink:

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.

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

Sorry James.
