<exclamation> Ritual affirmation frequently uttered during
protracted debugging sessions involving numerous small
obstacles (e.g. attempts to bring up a UUCP connection). For
the proper effect, this must be uttered in a fruity imitation
of Bullwinkle J. Moose.
Also heard: "Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my
hat!" The canonical response is, of course, "But that trick
*never* works!"
See hacker humour.
