ljplicease | a penguin and an onion walk into a bar

There are three things on my bumper. The Penguin represents the cool collected logic of winter, the Onion represents home cooking and a sense of family, the Dirt represents mother earth from which all things are formed. Well, actually the Penguin is named Tux and is the spokesbird for the Linux kernel, the Onion is a reference to the Perl programming language^[1] and the dirt is simply because I am too lazy to clean my car. The only thing missing from my bumper are Decepticon and NPR logos. My mum is visiting and she noted the differing organizational structure that Lena and I employ with regard to our desks in the computer room. I favour the “strata” or “geologic” organizational scheme, while Lena prefers a more structured approach. Mum and I are going to the Smithsonian tomorrow to maybe play Pac-Man and maybe Flower. Lena and I went to The Art of Video Games exhibit a few weeks ago. All of those games I grew up with^[2] are now in a museum.

just as an aside, depending on context a onion, a camel or a butterfly can represent Perl, but I have never seen a pearl representing Perl
well at least some of them
