I need to burn this into my mind:

Ctrl-D

After I make some unfortunate mistake at the prompt, bash patiently waits for my next move... when I really just want to get back to the home prompt and start all over again. Ctrl-D curtly tells it not to wait anymore and it exits with:

> bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
bash: syntax error: unexpected end of file

You have to love those quoted adjectives in trailers.

"Delightful"
oh, was the popcorn tasty?

"Terrific"
oops terrible?

"Stunning"
had a cataract surgery
"WONDERFUL!"
We were stoned.
"Masterful"
full of what?

"Spendid!"
you didn't!

"INTOXICATING"
say no more
"Charming!"
give it a rest already

"Captivating!!!"

"Seductive"
so you have a crush on the actress
