Description George Prowse 2005-09-08 09:38:27 UTC
Once upon a time there was a developer called Beu'n Arrow. He had a knack for
all things apache-y and was known to work with the great Stuart-de-Montford with
php. But as time went by he came under the spell of the evil God-Mother Freenode
Christel and within time they were engaged.

Like a roles reversed Wuthering Heights, Beu had his longing for Gentoo but the
Heathcliff-bearing Christel was stubborn. She knew that as freenode staff there
was a class divide but christel thought that if she couldn't have him then
no-one could...

Then suddenly mcummings went and Beu was offered perl lead, his world changed -
Suddenly came great responsibility... Could he change a broken toy-language that
can be incompatible with commercial use into a respectable programming force
whilst battling the evil freenode cristel?

Both sides knew they were coming to a point, something would have to be done! He
decided to enlist the help of the klingon "Pla'sma Roo". Pla'sma Roo told him
that he can only find ultimate victory in honour because in honour you will find
wisdom and in wisdom you will find peace.

Deciding that Pla'sma Roo was obviously sniffing glue again he sought refuge
with the Oracle Wikipeedeeahhh who told him that winning over cristel would
solve all the rest of the problems. Beu sat and thought about the problem for
forty days and forty nights after which he thought he better change his underwear.

Standing infront of the mirror with his tellytubby Y-fronts on the solution came
to him... He was the answer!

Luring christel to the house with an anti-knock-all-freenode-servers-off script
he jumped out at her naked. Realising that she had driven Beu to the edge of
madness she decided that he was not a play thing but a real person dancing in
front of her in a pair of cartoon underwear.

Oh, they lived happily ever after apart from perl which was destroyed in a great
storm caused by php and python.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Emerge Beu
2.irssi -c freenode
3.Muhahahahahahaha

Actual Results:  
Apache started working!

Expected Results:  
the universe imploding and vaccuuming down to the size of a pea

I believe you might be complete and utterly insane George.

I wonder at the improper use of my name in this tale of woe.

I think we can make your name better in this tale. Seeing as i have used a
Heathcliff/Catherine base for some of it I could make an addition like the
children part to Wuthering Heights.
