If you're not, here are some from FOLDOC:
 Real Programmers Don't Use PASCAL -
http://www.instantweb.com/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?Real+Programmers+Don't+Use+P
ascal

(Oddly, has a farily positive mention of Ada)

 The Story of Mel, a Real Programmer -
http://www.instantweb.com/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?The+Story+of+Mel

Reading both of these lengthy but entertaining tales will give a very
good idea of what is meant by "Real Programmer".
