I'm not understanding the thrust of this post.  Nobody said people can't 
have fun coding Lisp.  But what's fun for some is work for others.  I 
personally wouldn't consider writing a website database fun, I'd 
consider it serious, heavy duty work.  Other people may feel 
differently.  I'm not a proponent of Stop Energy.  
http://www.userland.com/whatIsStopEnergy  But if a project is big, I 
think its scope needs to be acknowledged.  It's not fun when big 
projects simply don't work and nobody finishes them.

*Small* projects tend to be fun for people.  And by that I mean *Really 
Small*.  Jeff had a good idea about his live coding sessions.  Things 
people could complete at a meeting.

Some people might consider the ICFP Programming Contest fun.  
http://www.icfpcontest.org  My own skills aren't up to it though.

http://www.ludumdare.com has had many 48 hour game programming 
contests.  Someday maybe I'll run something like that for Chicken 
Scheme.  That'll be a long ways off though.
