Would anybody without OCD continually modify, perhaps for hours on end, 50 lines of text so that it reads perfectly, down to the letter?
Pun wars seems to be the techie equivalent of dodgeball. Punning is treated as the intellectual equivalent of jocks bragging in the showers, and I can't help it, I'm obsessed by them.

When you code in MASM, you take those 50 lines and shuffle them around to avoid pipeline stalls, and change some instructions to a shorter form but longer execution time to keep loops in 16 bytes or less, then time the result, then do it again, and again... Dave.
FYI, these days (Core2) it is OK to fill up to 4 blocks of 16 bytes of code, as long as they are all properly aligned and the total number of instructions across those 4 blocks does not exceed 18. They do not even have to be consecutive. The Core i7 is even better in this regard, and fits 28 instructions or 8 blocks of 32 bytes in its loop buffer. (source: Agner Fog's manuals)

No other group that I know of is so obsessed by puns. Do we have some form of OCD?

"some form of OCD" == "DOC TYPE", maybe..

...until the moment you give up and write some selfmodifying code and you run it, then fix it, then run it again and fix it again, and run it, and fix it, again and again.

Wait, what?

I have CDO. It is like OCD, but in alphabetical order.

I Have COD, it's like CDO, but there is something fishy about it.

There may be some explanation forthcoming.

The scottish ladies. Especially this[^] rather scrummilicious one. I never minded watching CBeebies when she was on (for none UK CPians, CBeebies is a station targeted at toddlers) - mmmm, Nina.

No, but I am the father of two young girls. I have had my mind numbed with Teletubbies, Bob the Builder as well as the psychedelic fuggery that is In the Night Garden.
