I just tried to 'lol' in the terminal!

[ironfistchamp]

Haha I can't believe it I just typed 'lol instead of ls. How sad. I have used so MSN Messenger so much that lol has not only infiltrated my speech but the rest of computer.


I just hope I don't lol at God cos then its got my whole life :lolflag:

Er yeh thats my total weirdness over now.

Bye

I should write a "roffle" script that uses banner to print ROFL across the terminal.

In fact:



#!/bin/bash
#Roffle my waffle
banner ROFL!!


put that in your $PATH and smoke it.

[~LoKe]

That wouldn't work. "!!" in the terminal just prints out the last command, so...if you wrote "clear" then "banner rofl!!" it would print out "roflclear".

[the.dark.lord]

LOL! The terminal doesn't have a sense of humor.

[melancholeric]

alias rofl="banner ROFL"

see also:

alias deadcowsing="dcop amarok player lyrics | html2text | cowsay -d"

[ironfistchamp]

[FuturePilot]

LOL! The terminal doesn't have a sense of humor.
Yes it does

apt-get moo

oh, good catch.

would it work if I escaped 'em with \ characters?

I'm away from a real terminal atm.

[melancholeric]

aptitude moo
aptitude -v moo
aptitude -vv moo
aptitude -vvv moo
etc.

[IYY]

sudo apt-get install cowsay



alias lol='cowsay Haha'

Now your lol will be said by a cow. And it doesn't even have to be a cow...


cowsay -f tux.cow Haha


will give you a penguin,


cowsay -f daemon.cow Haha


will give the BSD daemon.

There's a whole bunch of others in /usr/share/cowsay/cows

[bastiegast]

Code:

sudo apt-get install cowsay

Code:

alias lol='cowsay Haha'

Now your lol will be said by a cow. And it doesn't even have to be a cow...

Code:

cowsay -f tux.cow Haha

will give you a penguin,

Code:

cowsay -f daemon.cow Haha

will give the BSD daemon.

This is such a moment I think: "Try doing this in Windows!!, Linux ROCKS, see how easy??". This fades away pretty fast into some sort of: "Hey wait, normal people do not give a *** they can install cowsay and use it to wrap "lol" to a ascii cow saying "haha"" thought.

[~LoKe]

oh, good catch.

would it work if I escaped 'em with \ characters?

Yep.

[Rede]

One of my favorites on Gentoo was 'emerge sex' and then piping that to cowsay... god I feel lame now...
(emerge is the Gentoo alternative to apt-get for those who don't know)
