I like to do that too :)

That's what I tried the first time I ever did any parsing (it might have 
even just been lexing at that point). Wound up with several notebook 
pages filled with some half-baked bullshit "theory" that made no sense, 
and then gave up while trying to distill general rules out of it. I'm 
kind of amazed just how far I managed to dig down that particular rabbit 
hole.

It was fun, though. And it made learning the proper theory easier since 
it made so much more sense than my crazy version ;)
