@theincredibleholk Like this one from back when everything had really short identifiers:

```
<graydon> dherman: list::mk, list::hd, list::tl :)
<dherman> sr, mks sns
<graydon> ok: make, head and tail if you like Mr. Vowelpants
<graydon> this is a solved problem for lists
<dherman> I kid!
* lkuper is totally going to start calling dherman "Mr. Vowelpants"
<dherman> it wouldn't be my first -pants title
<lkuper> oh, pardon: "Dr. Vowelpants"
```

Sometimes I get spams asking how much I charge for sponsored posts on my blog. I usually just ignore them because I obviously don't want sponsored posts. That said, for $4 million or so, I'd let people post just about anything to my blog, so maybe I should start replying that those are my rates.
