[INSERT YOUR FAVORITE SLAM DANCE MOVE HERE]

	How about a net.bizarre group effort to write a new programming
language?  It should be timely and vogue and offend everyone (sorta like
the fashion industry).  My proposal is for:

		PPL	(Punk Programming Language)

Specifications:

1)	No syntax.  Do whatever you want, who cares?  It won't work anyway.

2)	No comments.  Punks can't read.

3)	There is a 50% chance the compiler will not generating error messages.

4)	The instruction set makes it impossible to write a working program.

5)	Every program allocates ALL system resources and then doesn't use them.

6)	All communications occur at 25 M-bits and 120 dB.

7)	If a program fails well enough, it is automatically overwrites /vmunix
		and then crash the system.

8)	No labels; you aren't going anywhere anyway.

9)	No arithmetic statements; punks can't add.

10)	No logic statements; punks can't think.

11 - N) *** Now it's YOUR TURN!!!!

Instruction Set:  (don't tell ME what to do....)

BOOT 			kick the cpu
REBOOT				kick it again
BREAK 		disk, memory, neck
DON'T				exact opposite of traditional DO
DDD				required at top of each program to set mood,
				(short for Death, Doom, and Destruction)
JUMP  
off-the-stage NOT used with DON'T POKE safety-pin,cheek PUSH, POP person-next-to-you SLAM Shift Left And Mutilate STORE
lose information at address RESTORE
you can't, it's lost. ZERO wipe out everything and start over (more????) The seeds of doom have been planted. Do your worsest, netheads.
