That's what they all say...

1) Holy crap I didn't realize you were that old!

2) I know what smelly cute beasts those things are!

3) I never realized you had to wait for the umbilical cord to rot off!

Words of encouragement if ever there were...

If overseas shipping wasn't such a bitch, I'd probably buy it. But shipping and handling these days costs more than the C.D itself (well...not really...you know what I mean).

Could someone illegally burn it for me and send it free of charge? erm... lend it...? hehe?

[THAT]

How teh tiring cute is THAT!!

That's awesome!! Pictures = NOW!

At last - another soul we can trap within this endless void we call the forums....

Or not....

Depending on your mood, really...

haha! I know exactly what collossal means.

Snezz is such a dirty word, it should be killed. I mean, it doesn't sound nice, it's not even easy to say!! Just... snezzzzzzzzz. urgh! so revolting.

as for lol and such, I only use it with certain people. For example, some people I talk to on msn piss me off, so I sp34k l33t to them all the time. you know:
lollz!wtf?omgomg!roflmfao!noob!whatanoob!lool!hehehe! I'm l33ter dan u! I h8 ur Daddy-O!

and they say the same thing back, and they think they're so cool for being able to use acronyms. They do not realise how stupid it looks. And then they go ahead and add me to their buddy list. I mean - WTF?

Another thing I really REALLY hate is "heheheheheh!" That, my friends is a GIGGLE! grrr. It bugs the hell out of me when people giggle. I feel like slapping their buttocks with a mace. A simple "haha!" shall suffice: it let's the other person know you are laughing, without being all girly about it, and it saves you typing about 12 extra characters... Actually, I would prefer someone to 'lol' me than 'hehehehehehehehehehehehe' me...

EDIT: What's rtfm, DragonRose?

Wait what? You guys say "noob" (nube) instead of (newbie)? Anyway that's what it looks like you wrote.

Yes. Well, me, anyway, and I'm guess most people are the same. Of course the real word is newbie, but n00b IS written as just 'nube' as you say, so that's how I pronounce it.

I don't believe in aliens in the sense of green men with oblong eyes and slit nostrils. Heck - I don't even believe in prokaryotes or eukaryotes (spelling? grade 12 biology didn't QUITE pay off...) outside of earth.

Though I DO believe there are some things which can't be explained fully, that people HAVE tried to explain using completely crap logic that doesn't make sense.

That photo, however, makes me laugh.

People will do anything to label an object a U.F.O

Although, I guess in the true sense of the word it IS...

I've had very very very minor problems, but I think it IS my computer...

I've only ever had to re-click a link about twice, and I've never had trouble posting. And I've never had hang-ups....

guess I'm lucky...

yeah - I'm kind of confused about lol myself (although I find 'laughs' is more common than 'love' (?))

There are also some acronyms that I don't know - others that just took me ages to figure out. I think most of them are just so stupid. People who type whole messages using acronyms should be shot.

internet abbreviations??

You know - words like 'lol' and 'brb' and 'gtg'. I'm just curious as to what different people actually hear inside their heads when they see the words on the screen.

For example, when someone types the word 'lol', I actually say "lol" inside my head, whereas with 'gtg', I hear the words "got to go", but strung together really quickly like "gottago". I put together a brief list of the way I say words. I was just wondering you you say them:

Lol = lol

Brb = Brrrb

gtg = Gottago

imho = In my humble opinion

j/k = sometimes 'joking', sometimes 'just kidding', sometimes 'J.K'

roflmfao = roff=ell-maff-ow

stfu = stuff-you (said really really quickly)

n00b = N-oooooo-b

So..... how do YOU say?

hmm... I use hotmail, and have zero filters, but I still seem to get off pretty lightly.

I only get 1 or 2 spams a day, and in the last three - four years, I've only ever seen three that have had a virus attached. That's not bad for someone who could potentially get anything...

I guess you all make up for it though, with the amount of crap you each get...

This is a comprehensive list (I think) of people who have entered so far but haven't been solved. If you are considering entering as a contestant, read the rules AT THE END OF THIS POST first...

Okay - I think that's everyone...

If you see anyone who has been solved in this list, just post it and I'll edit them out. If you are NOT in this list and you have ALREADY posted, and remain unsolved, ADD yourself quickly. (Psst: I left out a couple of 'guests' who'd left lousy one-liner's like "I'm better than you". Don't re-post unless you're going to be helpful...)

If you HAVE NOT posted yet, and WISH to post, then WITH-HOLD the urge!! These will be enough of a challenge without extra baggage.

If you haven't been guessed yet - you might want to ADD some clues. The sooner we get you solved, the sooner other people can enter...

8 entrants running simultaneously...

This, my friends is what we in the business call havoc.

yessir.

psst: By old-school, does that mean you want to hear the almost midi-feel that was present in your cover. Or are 72 part orchestral suites okay? (well...not really...obviously...really...)

My forum name is TLA

Then how come it isn't here?

namamup = pumaman

hahahaha! I saw it and was like ' 8)'.
And then everyone was posting "oooh - it's DG!"
And then I was like "Double-you-tee-eff? This maketh little sense"

And then I died.

awww.....

Then who the flaming-hell wears pants??

Anyone??

*no one raises hand*

I thought as much...

[Next:]

Next: George Bush's scandalous "love affair" photo.

[MUST]

*The entire AGS community bows to Weasel and apologises profusely*

EDIT: I'm guessing Van-whats-it is DG? I dunno, it just seems strange that someone would go to such lengths to specify that they are NOT greek... meaning they ARE greek... (?)

And OBVIOUSLY DG is sexeh, so it MUST be him...

True, but I can't for the LIFE of me remember another avatar with faces......

*regrets never paying attention to people's avatars*

Never stop making games about Pirates

If you do, I shall ENSURE that your testicles sprout mogwys.

Spoiler

What's a Mogwy?
