While packing I just found a proof sheet for the little business cards I made for a San Diego OSCON around the turn of the millennium. Eight phrases, each preceded by the word "Perl" on a line by itself, and followed by the URL http://www.perl.org/. For your historical pleasure, here they are:
- If I was your manager, I'd fire your ass and replace you with twenty lines of Perl.
- It's what the kid who replaces your department will code in.
- It's like Java and C++ and C#, only it doesn't suck ass.
- It's like Java, only it lets you deliver on time and under budget.
- Because life's too short to code without interpolation.
- Go ahead, use Java. That just leaves more punctuation for us real programmers.
- Because Java can kiss my ass.
- When the best is good enough.
Ah, tempestuous youth. I distributed several hundred them around the tables of the speaker room over the course of the conference, and not one person smacked me.

years after you made them I found some in my camera bag and with glee stuck them around the desks of the Java programmers at the place I was contracting (the place was otherwise big on Perl, so again no ass-smacking).
