Perl has a posse

My SkyTrain ride takes me by this pillar every day:

larry wall graffiti

I still haven't quite figured out why someone chose to tag a pillar with Larry Wall's face. I'll start worrying about an incipient East Side geek gang war if I see Guido, Bjarne, or James Gosling tags.

(By the way, if none of the above makes any sense to you, it just means you aren't a massive geek. Be glad.)

Methinks there are a lot of unemployed geeks on Vancouver's east side...

I think that is Sonny Bono.

Huh. I don't know what's scarier, the thought of crazed perl hackers tagging poles, or SONNY BONO supporters out representin'. Is it maybe graffiti artists for the Sonny Bono copyright act? They big behind a 95 year exclusive license to their work.

The mystery deepens.

Throw up a camel somewhere or a pleasant steamy beverage.
