A while back, I was pleased to announce that I had come in at first place in Steve Levithan's regular expression contest with my input-stream-based ColdFusion regular expression parsing. As a result, I got some sweet-ass regular expression T-shirts that will let all the ladies know just how cool I am (and how serious I am about regular expressions).

From the same store, I got the shirt that says, "Stand back, I'm going to try science."

I was afraid "regular expressions" would be way too segregated from mainstream jocks and bratz.
