It's been a very long time since i posted - my new job allows me significantly less obfu time :).
Here's a quick something:

My friends and I are off to see a kung fu demonstration by a bunch of shaolin monks on sunday. One of my friends can't make it and said:

"I can't do this weekend, so I expect a 1000-word review first thing on Monday." So I knocked this up:

@d = map { rand > .9 ? "kick" : rand > .8 ? "jump" : "punch" } 0 .. 10
+00;

for (
    "<b>leap through burning hoop</b>",
    "<b>lie on bed of spikes</b>",
    "<b>smash block over head</b>"
  )
{
    @a = split / /;
    splice( @d, rand($#d), 1 + $#a, @a );
}

open(FH, ">kung_fu_review.html");
print FH "<html><body>@d</body></html>";
close(FH);

an instant (not entirely serious :)) 1000 word review (in the file kung_fu_review.html) of what i'm sure will be an amazing spectacle (if they keep to my script).

Update: it seems my review was spot on :)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
