or you could do what i plan on doing, is modifying the
Drunk Language Code (from the snippets site i do believe)
make_drunk() function to be specific to do basically that.
it doesn't kill buf, buf1, and buf2 either :-P
i personally like the way make_drunk does it.
it allows for different interpretations of the same letters and syllables
instead of letter by letter.
(like substituting aaaayyyyy instead of A in drunk)
with this you could
easily add a new table. but as stated before it doesn't tear
up any global buffers :-)
