Years ago I once wrote a program to view logs from a system I worked on. I used the ren and stimpy log as the icon for the file extension. It still makes me chuckle on the rare occasions I work on that system…
It rolls down stairs, and over the Klingons dog!
That was a delightful 1.5 seconds of nostalgia.
