Nerdy Guy's family is so nerdy that the mother's cross-stitch samplers are all written in various computer languages (duh, what else would a nerdy parent write in their cross-stitch?) Here's the code that's in each sampler (and if you're silly enough to think that all this code should actually be executable and correct, then draw your own darn comic with the correct code in it and I'll gladly link to it from here ;) ):

COBOL (/me shudders):

PERFORM 3
TIMES
  DISPLAY "I
  LOVE MY
  HUBBY-
  WUBBY WITH
  ALL MY
  HEART"
END-PERFORM.

Some Flavor of BASIC:

10 A$="LOVE"
20 B$="SON"
30 C$="NEW"
40 PRINT "I ";
   A$;" MY ";
   C$;" TINY ";
   B$;"!!!"
50 GOTO 10

C/C++:

main() {
  char buffer[120];
  strftime(buffer,
  120, "On %B %d,
  %Y, my little
  man starts his
  schooling!n",
  localtime(
  906985800);
  puts(buffer);
}

Ruby:

class BigEvent
  def self.tell_all
    p "My big man
       got his first
       little pimple
       today!"
  end
end

p Time.now.asctime
BigEvent.tell_all

Bonus points if you tell me the date and time of Nerdy Guy's first day of school. Their time zone is GMT - 4.
