Bullshit Bingo

This is a metapost implementation of Bullshit Bingo. It's based on
http://www.perkigoth.com/home/kermit/stuff/BullshitBingo. I've taken
additional phrases from http://www.lssu.edu/banished.

To be perfectly honest, I wrote this because I needed a meaningful,
client-focused playing card which could be the best of breed. I
basically felt that I could use my best practices to bring a total
quality approach to the challenge. Having said that, the actual fact is
I also wanted to control the list of words. This version is not
web-enabled, but it has a few value-added features which should empower
employees, and put them on the critical path towards realising their
core competencies:

-- dynamic logo-style heading
-- four grids per card -- speaks to serious play
-- user-friendly method of generating many cards at once
-- more than 100 very unique bullshit phrases
-- it's easy to add and remove phrases, so you can be proactive,
   not reactive

--

To generate a single card:
  mpost bbcard
and the card will be written to bbcard.ps

To generate 12 cards:
  mpost '\nocards:=12; input bbcard'
and the cards will be written to bbcard.1, bbcard.2, .., bbcard.12

Those command-lines assume a recent Unix installation. On your
machine, metapost might be called mp rather than mpost, and the
single-quotes might not be necessary. bbcard requires your installation
to be configured to use the font ptmr8r (Times Roman). It is not
suitable for use with the CM fonts.

bbcard.mp contains instructions for adding additional phrases.
breakwidth.mp can be used to perform simple-minded line breaking
with other metapost routines.

bbcard.mp is released to the public domain
breakwidth.mp is copyright by patrick mcphee, but there are
no limitations on its use
