Damond Walker started a pretty good thread in comp.lang.lisp with his post on how he first started using lisp:
By sunday night I had the game done. It was around 2000 lines of Lisp code, another 300-400 lines of C, and a 5 page paper which described the algorithms I used. I gave my presentation Monday morning and, honest to god, mouths hit the floor. I had a few fellow students actually get mad at me. My ego was pretty inflated at the time. I think the prof still uses the game as an example here and there.
Read the thread, but skip the... well, you know what parts to skip.
