Bryan,

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy it. I will keep your suggestion in mind.
It's obviously less trivial than writing the module itself, but I am a
very busy college student. I'd like to add your feature and a few
more, but I'd be lying if I said I could commit to doing it.
  You know, previous to writing this module I knew nothing about
python. It's a great language to learn, and if you already know how to
program it would be a piece of cake.

I think it would be as simple as adding a boolean option to the end,
and checking for that when adding to the dict, and then using one of
the lyntin methods to call a create gag function.

I will look into it, but I don't know when I can get around to it :-(  Sorry!

Btw, what do you use to look at the files?  I am getting lots of
output (like from 8 character's score command), and it's too much.  I
like cat *.score*  | less, but that doesn't refresh automatically.

Thanks,
Ben
