Back in the late 90s there was a recurring gag on Slashdot where people would, for some reason, make different parody accounts of Bruce Perens, with subtle misspellings or using punctuation or whatever to get a distinct username or whatever.

I just realized that it would have been *hilarious* to have one named "Bruce's Parents" who espouse about opensource from a pure capitalist standpoint, and the last post would be "Tonight we're going to the theatre!"

that's me, always on the cutting edge of humor
