RegEx Mental State

From a chat I'm having off and on with Jim this morning:

RussB says:
Coming back to a particularly complex bit of RegEx a month later and it might as well be Sanskrit.
RussB says:
You end up going through the whole logic process again and might as well write it from scrach again.
RussB says:
What I like to do is make sure that when I'm writing RegEx code, I achieve a certain mental state.
RussB says:
That I can duplicate again when I need to re-edit that code.
RussB says:
Thus I always program RegEx stuff blind drunk.

I crack myself up... :-) I'm still giggling over this... or it could be the whisky, I'm not sure...
