What better way to fight the fed up with this newsgroup thread, in which a disgruntled reader chided ruby-talk for being an utter wasteland of snaggletoothed besmudged dwarves (Ed. Note: embellishment mine), than by devolving into a pile of movie quotes translated into Ruby.

A great, little game I won’t soon forget:

 it.puts(lotion(skin)) || it.gets(hose)

 3.times { heels.click && assert(!places.any? {|x| x.like?(home)})

 snakes.why?

 slaves.each {|x| x.say "I am Spartacus!" }

 hills.alive!(music.sound)

 flag = true
 begin
   sam.play_it
   x = 0/0 if flag
 rescue
   flag = false
   retry
 end

 badges.show if horsemen.federales?

 1_000_000.times { voices.cry("terror") } && select(nil,nil,nil,nil)

 good(:many) / good(:one) > 1.0

 self.send(she.having)

 you << force

 puts(self.name = "inigo montoya")
 assert(self.father.murderer == you)
 you = nil
 GC.start

Mmm. The you = nil; GC.start by Martin DeMello is just vile and full of fumes. Thanks, Hal, Martin, Bill, others.

What would be xtra-warlock is if you could feed these quotes into a Ruby+DVD machine and have the movie fast-forward right to the spot. /me puts thumbs in armpits of geek vest.
