When Houdini used trap doors in his act, was it just a stage he was going through?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No. His whole act was hinging on them!

No mater how much I lock, I can't escape the feeling this is no joke.

And he went through them at breakneck speed, too!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Wasn't he the first escape character?

I take it that your mom doesn't write code?

Is any part of what you said based on fact, or is all just an illusion?

It's just a form of escapism for me.

Reminds of a letter I wrote to a girl I didn't want to see any more. I had to pick up a Penn and Teller to disappear.

I would agree with that, except I've been in this industry for 20 years and know better than to believe that. 
And while it's not everyone (because I'm not like that), it's a rare thing.

Hmmmmmm. Ahhh! A potential customer!
I was thinking of creating a line of gums, breath-sprays, and lotions which smell like, well . . .
. . . like . . . like . . . like you got lucky.
Originally, the target market was adolescents - but maybe an Ad here, or better still, StackOverflow, could boost profits.

Oh oh, can we make sure the breath mints will transform your love life in 30 seconds or less? Can we? Can we? Huh? Huh?

It wasn't the aroma of mint that they were going emit.
(Just making sure you understood that)

"Order from Chaos" by Max Cooper and Maxime Causeret: [^].Quote: A collaboration between the UK-based electronic musician Max Cooper and the French motion graphics artist Maxime Causeret, Order from Chaos features an experimental soundtrack inspired by the concept of emergence accompanied by mesmerising representations of emergent systems, including the cooperation of simple cells, swarm behaviour and Alan Turing’s proposed mathematical theory of embryology.
In the 1960's we could see these with our eyes closed 
cheeers, Bill
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

I must be a lot younger than you. In the '60s, the strongest drug that I used was chocolate.
