With recent update, I added a couple more presets using similar idea, 
like that one:


#local timerand = seed(int(now*100000)); // Seeding time  {#886600, 1}
#local a = 1.5;  // Overall offset factor, exceeding 2.0 may lead to 
weird effects

// Critical part:                                   {#880000, 2}
#declare of26 = <a * (rand(timerand) - 0.5), a * (rand(timerand) - 0.5)>;
#declare of48 = <a * (rand(timerand) - 0.5), a * (rand(timerand) - 0.5)>;

#declare thingie = prism{conic_sweep linear_spline -1, 0, 9,
  <-1, -1>, <0, -1> + of26, <1, -1>,
  <1, 0> + of48,
  <1, 1>, <0, 1> + of26, <-1, 1>,
  <-1, 0> + of48,
  <-1, -1>}

Funny thing is, it works :-)
