Ah. I'm late to this discussion, but I suspect he saw FizzBuzz being  
discussed in clax.

(it started there in mid? May)
I have a 63 byte solution, easily expandable for "bazz" , but limited to a  
count of 100 (2 digit display) - and also has a few starting assumptions.
Basically, the approach I used was to keep a count (initially down, but  
shaved a byte or 2 by doing it up from -x) for each Fizz/Buzz/Zapp.
It needs an extra 2 +n +strlen bytes to allow for "Flarp!" (i.e. to avoid  
the hardcoding of 4 for each FizzBuzz string).
