Today's output for screen -DR was not the usual "(New screen)" but "Be careful! New screen tonight."

I cannot grumble about "geek humor" if, in fact, I get the joke. And the joke was presented to me while launching an obscure command-line Unix shell utility.

(Also screen -list prepends its output with "Your inventory:" OK guys.)

Your 11 +1 daggers grow dull! You are only able to manage 'Elberet'.

At one point during my college trials, with accounts spread out over a few *nix machines, I was always very grumbly when one's "logout" command was another's "exit" and I was always getting them mixed up. So I just whipped up a few aliases to solve the problem.

I didn't alias "logout" to "exit", though. I had it echo "No, no, no, EXIT, you moron."

And for more game fun, have you ever tried the Adventure Shell? Fun for a few minutes at least.
