I spend so much time, sometimes, tracking down a problem in my code that I just want to join the army and charge up a hill screaming "Kill, kill, kill" until someone jumps up and shoots me in the shoulder and the force of the shot spins me around and now I'm falling back down the hill flipping head over heals arms outstretched trying to hold onto what little ground I can sliding further and further down the hill and then I have to get up and charge back up the hill but this time my feet won't obey me and I'm just standing there trying to will my legs to "Move damn it, move" but they won't move and I'm bleeding more from my shoulder and then the enemy tops the rise and starts running down the hill shooting at me "tat tat taaat" but my legs are like rubber and I'm stuck and panic starts to set in and then Carrot Top runs by me but he's not Carrot Top cause he's all like buffed up and has huge muscles and he's like yelling at me "Feel the burn! Damn you! Feel the burn!" but wait, it is Carrot Top and he really is all pumped up and buff and I'm like... Whooaaa WTF ... and then I wake up...

Um?  One wonders how a Sylvester Stallone wannabee ends up programming 
with Livecode.

I say "Sylvester Stallone wannabee" because those of us who have been 
shot at know that
it ain't like that at all.
