Multiple people have requested I post the limericks I recited at the BBQ this week. Here they are, as best as I can recall from memory:

There once was a coder named Kring
He sure liked to right-click on things
He once claimed he was faster
Than the coding challenge master
Yet he’d never step into the ring!

There once was a coder named Mercer
Who always had a class on his cursor
Then Christina stopped by
With her eyes on his VIs
And said, “Clusters would make this code worser!”

There once was a coder named Aivaliotis
Who had a cool blog that he showed us
It’s called VI Shots
And we all love it lots
But on facebook he keeps trying to poke us!

There once was a coder named Goeres
Who spent all his money on...
... ...
There once was a coder named Justin
Whose popcorn machine kept on bustin’
The problem, he knew,
Was in no way LabVIEW
Turns out, the real wires were rustin’.

There once was a coder named Norm
Who made writing VIs an art form.
But not akin to Van Gogh,
Or Michaelangelo,
More like, a 5-year old with Colorforms.

There once was a coder named Relf
Who was always promoting himself.
If only he knew
“Image Acquisition and Processing with LabVIEW”
to this day gathers dust on my shelf.

My copy is signed by the author, which is no end of amusement to me as we'd never met yet when I won it at the BBQ in 2006.

You use the term "won" loosely.
