Description	Just when I thought all crap game coders had started to go into hibernation for the winter, I am happy to announce the first game of October after a two week CGC hiatus. Dr BEEP did warn me before submission that this version of BASIC is impossible to program in and I really should have taken his word for it. I won't spoil the surprise by revealing what constitutes the element of fun here, but you can download the game or play it in the crap game arcade to find out. I can mention though that a Highlander reference finally made it into the CGC! (Which was badly needed at this point.)
Comments	People's definition of fun can vary and if a fun sized Mars bar can exist (The only fun being?that you've just been ripped off by buying undersized chocolate bars) then this program can certainly be called fun. The user, on pressing various keys is?presented with a selection of funny remarks, rather than actually programming anything. The responses vary from amusing to surreal - but be sure to select all of the extended and shift-extended keywords as well as punctuation, lest you miss some humorous pearl of wisdom. It's a gas for a few minutes and I haven't heard so much laughter from a computer response since we got /dev/tty - device not found from a win32 command prompt! Oh that one was a real side-splitter I can tell you. TAN:- Got a TAN from holiday and LLIST:- Don't stutter where amongst the more memorable one-line responses of this submission.
