obfuscated C code, for fun and profit (ok, just for fun)

If you’ve ever coded in C, you owe it to yourself to check out the (fully functional) programs at this link:

https://remus.rutgers.edu/~rhoads/Obfuscated_C/obfuscate.html

Here is one of the programs presented:

 
char*lie;
 
        double time, me= !0XFACE,
 
        not; int rested,   get, out;
 
        main(ly, die) char ly, **die ;{
 
            signed char lotte,
 
 
 
dear; (char)lotte--;
 
        for(get= !me;; not){
 
        1 -  out & out ;lie;{
 
        char lotte, my= dear,
 
        **let= !!me *!not+ ++die;
 
            (char*)(lie=
 
 
 
"The gloves are OFF this time, I detest you, snot\n\0sed GEEK!");
 
        do {not= *lie++ & 0xF00L* !me;
 
        #define love (char*)lie -
 
        love 1 *!(not= atoi(let
 
        [get -me?
 
            (char)lotte-
 
 
 
(char)lotte: my- *love -
 
        'I'  -  *love -  'U' -
 
        'I'  -  (long)  - 4 - 'U' ])- !!
 
        (time  =out=  'a'));} while( my - dear
 
        && 'I'-1l  -get-  'a'); break;}}
 
            (char)*lie++;

        get *out* (short)ly   -0-'R'-  get- 'a'^rested;
 
        do {auto*eroticism,
 
        that; puts(*( out
 
            - 'c'

for (*((char*)&lotte)^=
 
        (char)lotte; (love ly) [(char)++lotte+

        (char)lotte;}

        do{ not* putchar(lie [out
 
        *!not* !!me +(char)lotte]);
 
        not; for(;!'a';);}while(
 
            love (char*)lie);{

        [(char)lotte] -1 *!out) {
 
        char*les, get= 0xFF, my; case' ':
