NAME
Acme::BooK::Is::My::Bitch - BooK is my Bitch
VERSION
version 0.05
SYNOPSIS
use Acme::BooK::Is::My::Bitch;
my $bitch = Acme::BooK::Is::My::Bitch->new();
my $quote = $bitch->random_quote();DESCRIPTION
Acme::BooK::Is::My::Bitch has a great story behind it.
At YAPC::EU::2006, in Birmingham, England, BooK auctioned the right for someone to pick a module from CPAN and have that module's name (temporarily) tattoed in his arm for all the conferences BooK would go to during 2007.
Cog asked if the module had to exist by that time, and BooK said "No."
BIG MISTAKE!

Program Interface

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BooK actually wrote part of the code for this module and suggested some of the ideas that were turned into methods.
This module is not about Cog mocking BooK; it's rather about Cog and BooK making fun of themselves.
We spent a very funny afternoon in a mini-hackathon in Birmingham starting up this module. We finished its first version while at the Old Joint pub with some more YAPC attendees.
$_ IS MY BITCH
The phrase "... is my bitch" has been thrown around a lot during past YAPC Europe conferences. This tradition has thankfully been lost, but some artifacts remain:
- http://perl.ismybit.ch/
-
The T-shirt that started it all when the first YAPC Europe was organized, back in 2000.
- http://schwern.ismybit.ch/
-
Schwern worked for Belfast.pm, and all he got was this lousy T-shirt. One of those shirts was auctioned at the Amsterdam YAPC in 2001.
- http://greg.mccarroll.ismybit.ch/
-
Dave Cross bought an obfuscation by BooK at the Amsterdam YAPC auction. The code was revelead during the Paris YAPC auction in 2003, and the crowd bid (and won) against Greg to see it run.

-
The temporary tatoo alluded to above, at the Vienna YAPC in 2007.
