This is what I use:

paste () {
  RURL=$(echo "lang=Plain+Text&nick=madduck&cvt_tabs=No&desc=&text=$(urlquote)" \
    | POST -e http://rafb.net/paste/paste.php \
           -H 'Referer: http://rafb.net/paste/' \
    | sed -ne 's/^Location: //p') 
  echo http://rafb.net${RURL%%.html}.txt
}
vpaste () {
  TMPFILE=$(mktemp -p vpaste) 
  trap "rm -f $TMPFILE" 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
  vi $TMPFILE
  paste < $TMPFILE
  rm -f $TMPFILE
  trap - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
}
