   I want it.  I'm not looking for fun, I'm using Emacs! :->

As I think I may have mentioned somewhere else on this thread, I have
an alias causes emacs to run with '-l joes_loads.el' command line
argument.  This is, to me, a better idea than putting your own "own"
expressions in .emacs or even having the command to load them in the
.emacs, except in the case of code that really needs to be there
(e.g. as with frame configs), because this way you can drop the flag
or change it.

And, as you see, it is really a 0 line program.
