Not gonna lie, I'm fond of the way #Inform7 lets me write like Arlo Guthrie:

```
The twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs are a plural-named thing.
The twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs are carried by Officer Obie.
```

(Inform 7 doesn't like names that include the word "with", so I couldn't use the full name "twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us".)

@Screwtapello
By an amazing coincidence, those same words appear in the movie Alice's Restaurant.

@dougmerritt @Screwtapello
by another coincidence, Slak has often told me I would like Inform 7

@screwtape @Screwtapello
I never got around to playing with Inform 7, but it always seemed interesting.

My college roommate co-authored Rogue while I was busy doing a DSL for writing adventure games (never finished).

Very long term interests.
