Guys,
As I always try to improve my English, I want to ask you to explain to me some abreviations used on this site... Pfff, sms-language... I already know these: BTW, IMO, IMHO, PITA and even FUBAR... But there is still much to learn... Thanks, Kristof ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

There are many, some of which are somewhat particular to this site, like:
MBFTYB = my boats faster than your boat TNMABHWB = Tim never met a boat he wouldn't buy NSIFOHIAL = Never stand if front of Hollywood in a line IGTB-YGTG = I'll get the beer, you get the gas. And many others. Actually, Blue Man Group does a parody of just such computer dialogue abbreviations in their show that is pretty amusing. Any of you in the greater Boston, Chicago, NY, Vegas or Florida areas been to a Blue Man Group show. Hugely entertaining. I recommend it to anyone. Great music, great show, great humor. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Been twice Larry, some don't like it but I think it's awesome. Been a couple of years so we're probably due to go see them again as it takes a while for them to change the show, might be some new material since we saw them last. ps. The kids loved it too, my daughter caught the catapulted jello.  ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Now I know what to say about our national tennis woman: Justine Henin is very atlethic...
