Gee, didn't know anyone'd take this as bad.  Just thought it 
deserved a catchy moniker.

I really like it, too.  When I was young, I used to catch these 
rodents (well, one anyway :).

I like the cover, I like Mark's work, I like Python, I think the Python 
community's the best of its kind on the planet, I'll be buying two 
copies of the book as gifts.

I'll hide my feelings on Nixon (hint: he was probably less flawed 
than me).

I guess next time I'll sprinkle it with '< 1 spoonful wink>' and the 
medicine will go down better.  ;)
