I lick salt bricks all day long
I eat red meat mornings, noons and evenings
I chug pints of melted fat before going to sleep
But all of this amount to naught
For /-\ndrew is still a stroke ahead of me...

Ah! It's nothing compared not to have used \Q. The worst is,
I thought of it at the very beginning of the competition, but dismissed
it as I was sure that "\Q$x" would yield "\$x". For that mistake
I will flog myself with handfuls of overboiled spaghettis for
the remainder of the month...

`/anick, who can barely wait until the next confrontation
