Script idea 1

Eric Raymond; I edited my How to be a Hacker document.  It keeps up with the times. C# is now an acceptable language since a free implementation is avalable.
RMS: Get with the times Raymond, GNU/Linux is now easy to install and everyone should use free software, hacker or not. 
Eric Raymond: Why should I care if people use Linux?
RMS: It is GNU/Linux,  it is important that you give the GNU project its due.
Eric Raymond: But they didn't develop Mono.
RMS: It is a good thing we didn't.  It is hard to write free software when you are feeling ill. 
Eric Raymond: Oh, so that is why you gave up hacking. Too much rich food does that to you.

script idea 2

linus: I just read Eric's "how to be a hacker" essay.  It reads more like a "how to be how Eric Raymond perceives himself" essay.
richard: heh, yeah, I did notice he doesn't list any references

linus: well, I snuck into his room and found his contact lenses. Look
richard: they look strange

linus: yeah, look carefully, what do you see
richard: they seem mirrored.  on the inside!

synopsis: Richard or Linus follows the "how to be a hacker" essay and end up looking and acting like Eric Raymond
