you guys still haven't figured out the features of a book yet?

you're off writing up the first draft, once again, as always,
just the first draft, of your magical plans to rule the world,
and you still haven't done the grunt work to know the basics?

i've had a test-suite in place for about 8 years now, dudes...

so, you know, as soon as you're ready to stop imagining, and
_get_real_, i'll just be sitting over here, waiting...  for godot...
