Isn't two letters for an alias quite wasteful of time and resources? Any
true follower/believer in the ODE movement would do it with one letter.

Tom Newton's ODE is the laughingstock of the Minimalist Interface Movement.
It's actually a fork of our CNDE Project (Chuck Norris Desktop
Environment). Here at CNDE, we just wire up the computer directly to our
balls, and it damn well does what we want. Out motto is "Damn Right We've
Got Root!" Tom was kicked off the project when we discovered he was using
a keyboard to cover for his total lack of gonads.

You only get one shot at a straight line that good. I think we both blew
