eating-steaks-that-grow-on-trees dept?? Comon Micheal, We know its early but this title is ++ungood.

It is a sci-fi reference to a cybernetically enhanced attack dog. Snowcrash (?) I think. One of those cyberpunkesque novels, where the dog lived much of his life in a virtual state, eating steaks that grew on trees. Rather clever, though clearly an insider reference.
