Well, I remembered it after I saw it repeated this week in
DDJ. It could be that is the ONE reference to a StudlyCaps
literation and I'm remembering THAT as my old memory.

StudlyCPAs, that's another subject, and I've been yelled add for
off-topic before. And oxymoronic from the CPAs that I've used,
though wonderful people they were (really).
