I'm terrified of getting a brain disease with causes some sort of dementia or other cognitive decline. The thought of no longer having the intelligence to write even an "Hello World" program is horrifying.
Sadly, this will probably happen eventually. As I sit in the care home drooling into my grey-whiskered beard, unable to even to read SICP, I will wait until the day that a random interloper violently shoves a cudder down my throat, mercifully choking me to death and thus breaking me out of the endless loop of decline and sadness.
Nonsense!
You get to read SICP every day, and every day it will be like the first time.

Doesn't using your brain forestall that sort of thing? Spend less time reading SICP and more time writing SICP.

You shitheads ruined a good board.
You drove away knowledgeable people.
You prevent anything worthwhile from happening here.
All this lame, worthless crap is your fault.

How do people respond to the ``fucking'' part? I always get a bit embarassed when I reach that point, so I backtrack a bit and end up saying ``Read the uh... read the manual''
