Improvisation in the kitchen

[venta]

Owing to all the knives being in the dishwasher, and the dishwasher being at one of those "really don't open" parts of its cycle, I can now report that it's perfectly possible to spread butter and evil on your toast with a teaspoon.

And irrelevantly: for anyone who cared deeply about the elephant/alephant/oliphant debate, we now have a shiny new green box. So all is well again :)

I'd bet good money that venta couldn't write a C compiler in PERL.

As an aside - if you didn't mind about the performance, PERL might be quite a decent choice for a compiler...

Not a bet I'm taking, there :)

I would bet that given time and suitable motivation, and access to the materials she would need to train herself, venta could write a C compiler in PERL.

Anyone who makes evil teaspoons should not be underestimated.

bateleur, please don't take him up on this.

Well, I should note that I doubt you have the time, or that bateleur could provide suitable motivation, so it's a bit of an empty gesture.

The management thanks you for the cote of confidence, however, and just keeps its grubby fingers crossed it never has to live up to it :)

A cote of confidence? Is that like a coat of confidence, and do you apply it with a brush? And if so, might you need two coats of confidence, since it's notably thin and not mixed with evil?

Nah, it's a cheap british equivalent to the Cote d'Azure :)

Well, then I'm afraid you're definitely wrong, as I did not just offer you a holiday destination. After all, that might be sufficient incentive for a compiler...
