		THE LESSER-KNOWN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES #14 -- VALGOL

		VALGOL is enjoying a dramatic surge of popularity across the
	industry.  VALGOL commands include REALLY, LIKE, WELL, and Y*KNOW.
	Variables are assigned with the =LIKE and =TOTALLY operators.  Other
	operators include the "California booleans", AX and NOWAY.  Loops are
	accomplished with the FOR SURE construct.  A simple example:

		LIKE, Y*KNOW(I MEAN)START
		IF PIZZA	=LIKE BITCHEN AND
		GUY		=LIKE TUBULAR AND
		VALLEY GIRL	=LIKE GRODY**MAX(FERSURE)**2
		THEN
			FOR I =LIKE 1 TO OH*MAYBE 100
				DO*WAH - (DITTY**2); BARF(I)=TOTALLY GROSS(OUT)
			SURE
		LIKE, BAG THIS PROGRAM; REALLY; LIKE TOTALLY(Y*KNOW); IM*SURE
		GOTO THE MALL

		VALGOL is also characterized by its unfriendly error messages.  For
	example, when the user makes a syntax error, the interpreter displays the
	message GAG ME WITH A SPOON!  A successful compile may be termed MAXIMALLY
	AWESOME!
