Dating Design Patterns

by Solveig Haugland

The Design Patterns How It All Happened When the Gang, as well as Grady, Christopher, and the Fifth member of the Gang of Four, Steve Swillvellis, were in college, they invented the ultimate reusable set of patterns for the most complex system of interactions dating. Their success with women was famous throughout the state. As Christopher said at the time, "Do you have any idea how unusual that is, for guys who read Knuth for fun?" Then the sweet smell of success turned bitter. They realized that their grades were slipping, they were no longer as interested in computer science, and that they had more than once considered careers in marketing. They realized that while it is extremely pleasurable to have the dating world by the tail, that there were Higher Considerations. The scientific advancement and the economy of the world would be destroyed if all geeks were out dancing on Saturday nights instead of debugging. So they suppressed their work and, to distract those who had heard of their remarkable book on patterns, they produced Design Patterns instead. The dating work remained suppressed until the Fifth member of the Gang of Four could keep silent no longer and brought forth the original WordStar manuscripts, additional notes still penciled in the margins. He asked the Gang of Females to edit and publish the work.

What a great concept! This witty little book of geek humor is a parody of the classic gang of four book. Written by a female too so guys should take the advice to heart.

It's possible that I'm not geeky enough to fully appreciate this book. Nevertheless, Haugland's text has come in handy more than once.
