<@freeside> we totally xkcd'ed someone tonight
<@freeside> so we were out with the very pretty rene
<@freeside> and we were walking around downtown mountain view, which is where the googlers hang out
<@freeside> and we walked past the Red Rock Cafe, where they have free wifi.
<@freeside> there was a guy sitting in the window with his 17" macbook pro with textmate open and syntax highlighting going gangbusters onscreen
<@freeside> and robrt and i looked at it and we were like, "is that java? no... python? no... it's ruby!"
<@freeside> and we said to rene, "okay, listen carefully. we want you to do this:"
<@freeside> rene, you understand, is wearing a very girlie-girl outfit, with green hat, and great big eyes
<@freeside> so she goes in to the cafe and goes up to the guy and says
<@freeside> "excuse me, but are you programming in ruby?"
<@freeside> and the guy goes, "huh? what? yes, i am."
<@freeside> and rene says, "right answer!"
<@freeside> and she winks at him
<@freeside> and turns around
<@freeside> and walks out of his life forever.

That guy's going to spend every minute he can in that same seat in that same cafe for about at least a month.
