description
A port of the M-x yow feature in Emacs.  Entering the command :Yow earns you a random Zippy The Pinhead quote.

The quotes are stored in the file "yow.lines", which i borrowed from Emacs.

Defining your own quotes is possible by changing yow.lines.  The format is explained in the yow.lines file.
 
install details
Download yow.vba, open in vim, run :so %.

The following files are installed:

plugin/yow.vim
yow.lines
doc/yow.txt

all with respect to your runtime path.  If you get permission errors, you may need to create the directory .vim in your home directory, and check it is in your runtimepath.

Enter :h Yow for help.
