I have to find an old email with all the possible vaiations of ROFLOL... But since we're on acronyms, I thought I'd throw this one out: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"><strong>ACRONYM</strong> Abbreviated Coded Rendition Of Name Yielding Meaning<strong>BUNDY</strong> But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet. Nurses' and doctors receptionists' shorthand, but has many other applications elsewhere...I can see it's uses here at MB LOL!!! <strong>FUBAR</strong> Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition. <strong>JFDI</strong> Just Frigging Do It. Polite version. Pronounced 'Jifdi', this should surely be every procrastinator's motto. A must for management training. <strong>LOBNAH</strong> Lights On But Nobody's At Home. For people who say that they've been listening when really we know they haven't. Also useful to describe common WS condition. <strong>OSINTOT</strong> Oh S--t I Never Thought Of That. Great for <strong> project management</strong>. I should know! LOL!!! <strong>PEBCAK</strong> Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard. One of the great modern acronyms. Usage not restricted to the computer operators - apply to any situation where the human element contributes the weakest link. I've thought of using this one for 2L, but I'm ALMOST sure the problem is with his MACs! <strong>WYGIWYD</strong> What You Get Is What You Deserve. Much more fun than the original. Great reminder for people who still don't understand that if you pay peanuts you get monkeys. And that nobody, especially monkeys, can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Also great for people who can't brief designers and programmers properly, don't check copy until final proof stage, keep changing specifications while work's under way, etc. You know the types... <strong>YOYO</strong> You're On Your Own. Obvious and wide-ranging uses, particularly for those moments when someone's digging a hole for themselves or trying to flog a dead horse.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Believe it or not, these are all from a Business Communications book! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <small>[ September 14, 2002, 12:42 PM: Message edited by: Spacecase ]</small>

Hey 2long for some strange reason, I was listening to this old Byrds tune and I thought of you
<strong>Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
and then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light comin´down from the sky
I don´t know who or why
Must be those strangers that come every night
Whose saucers shaped light put people up tight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won´t you please take me along
I won´t do anything wrong
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won´t you please take me along
for a ride
Woke up this mornin´, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beer, my tooth paste was smeared
I opened my window, they´d written my name
said: "So long, we´ll see you again".
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won´t you please take me along
I won´t do anything wrong
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won´t you please take me along
for a ride
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won´t you please take me along
I won´t do anything wrong
Hey Mr.Spaceman, won´t you please take me along
for a ride</strong>

"Tell me about the waters of your homeworld, TooMuchCoffeeMan." Hm... ...doesn't sound as good as it did in the book, or the miniseries! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
