I read this great book by Stephen Levy titled Hackers, about the nerds and geeks who first started wearing pocket protectors and taping their glasses in the middle while playing around with the earliest generations of computers at the MIT labs till the wee hours. Anyway, these guys from MIT liked to mull ofer their nights' hacking adventures while scarfing down generous helpings of Barbarian Eggplant Cowpork and Cloud Gulp with Hibiscus Wing at their favorite greasy spoon in Chinatown, with the restaurant staff looking bemusedly on. It occurs to me that you might have been born a bit late, Lloyd, because you might have made a future of sorts writing their fortune cookies.
