UNIX Programmers--Let's design a new shell!
Call it the "bush shell" (bsh or bush).

It has all the standard commands, but with random responses when it "gets tired".

Give a suggestion for a new command or syntax!

Here's mine:

1. i must admit
i'm a sucker for UNIX humor. Moreso when a bush* bash is involved.

/me adjusts his vinyl pocket protector and curses the "patriot act."

the 'bush' shell never takes command prompt input. it's course of action is already decided by /usr/loco/cheney and /spin/ack/rumsferatu.

etc etc i could go on...

2. Commands to ponder on
I'd actually say "karlrove>nul" or "umount bush" or maybe even "kill _____" wait a moment, that particular command is just a little too harsh and might leave the impressionable or those of confused dispositions to do something very naughty. So I won't finish it. :D

Oh, shouldn't this be a lounge post? :D
