Let’s play a game – UNIX style
In the old days, UNIX had an email program called ELM. I forget what ELM stands for, but since almost everything UNIX is a corny acrostic, it undoubtedly means something. ELM is probably in use somewhere or other.
ELM was later replaced, more or less, by an email program called PINE. PINE, oddly enough, stands for “PINE Is Not ELM”.
So I got thinking about how they embedded the acrostic within the acrostic. Let’s have a little fun.
Can you make an acrostic of your name embedded within your name? Here are some of mine:
- BRIAN Really Is A Nerd -or-
- BRIAN Really Isn’t a Nerd
- BRIAN Recently Ignores Authentic Nutjobs
- BRIAN Radically Improves Athletic Nights
- BRIAN Rolls In Ancient Napalm
What’s the acrostic for your name?
