Ass, Grass, or GTFO

CSB:

I still remember how I learned what 'WTF' meant. the year was 1998 and my avatar was in the lawless town of Buccaneer's Den.

Someone typed "WTF" after I killed one of the blacksmith NPCs (non-player characters) for his sweet, sweet bascinet and gold coins.

The guy ended up killing me, but after I resurrected (and was harmless since he took my equipment off of my dead body) he answered my inquiry as to what it meant.

Laughing out loud, remember that one party? Oh my god, rolling on the floor laughing my fat ass off. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!

I'm waiting for the day when all conversation will consist entirely of acronyms.

I always wondered who KIT was and why the guy had so many different phone numbers.

If it's not explicit, why do they care? Oh, because it's rude to speak a foreign language in front of someone who doesn't understand it. Tough titty school staff, get educated!

Hey school, GFY!

GSAD

This is because of that anti-Semitic code message those four boys wrote, isn't it?

A friend overheard a conversation I had with a coworker one day. Afterwards, the friend was basically WTF?

Apparently my work conversation has so many acronyms in it, it's indecipherable.

/government and their acronyms....

"It's bullying and it's wrong because these kids trust these teachers," parent Sandy Marchalletta said.

Has "bullying" become the new "racist", just drop it in any old situation and POOF, instant contraversy?

OMGWTFBBQ!

When did elementary schools start publishing year books?

Heh heh heh. Funny to see the parents tap dance on the school's head over it. "Just respectfully ignore it, dear snowflake."

My fourth grade teacher would have done this. She wouldn't have been trying to be biatchy about acronyms being bad. She would have been trying to force us to use actual words as a way of brushing up our grammar skills. It would have been farked in the head to make us do it in our farking yearbooks--but she was a redhead anti-commie fanatic with a serious case of teh crazy.

NTTAWWT.

She was a really good teacher. But we used her crazy and fanaticism against her mercilessly by getting her ranting on tangents against the godless commies in the afternoons. A good rant and we could smile and nod all afternoon and not have to do any work at all. And it was mildly entertaining.

Why yes, we were heartless little monsters, like most fourth grade kids, why do you ask?

Anyway, I can just see her doing this "for our own good, to improve our grammar."

She was...one of a kind. Which is probably a good thing.

Oh, when you're horny you say "Mmmmm" about us, but what about when you've moved three times and left no forwarding address?

You don't call, you don't write....

I mean, seriously, a girl could start getting discouraged about the relationship......

All of my son's friends tend to write HAGS in yearbooks because it's too difficult to spell out Have A Great Summer.

I swear, history will look back on testing and laugh it's ass off at how stupid people were. It makes the era of digital watches look enlightened.

"Didn't they have phones? With voice mail? And email? Why did they type gibberish and actually pay more money for it?"

"Because people are basically morons."

Kids were doing this when I graduated--in 1977.

I think this would a great way for the kids to combat this policy... learn the Phonetic Alphabet (it's not that hard, especially if a kid is motivated) to "write out" the acronyms. Of course it's not shorter, but that's not the point.

I'm OK with this.

That was the only MMORPG I ever played. And God how I loved that game.
Fun times:

I would convince newbies that a NPC pirate has stolen my stuff, and I needed his help to fight him. We would go to the pirate, and I would go into attack mode and yell "get him!". The noob would attack, get killed quite badly, and then I would loot his crap. The guy went to get resurected, and came back to find his body empty. He asks if I had seen his stuff, and as I am putting on his gear I am like "Yeah, the pirate took it. We need to get more people to help" And repeat.

I would use my mage to transform into a demon and chase newbies around the city. They would be all surprised a monster was in the city and start calling for the guards as they would flee. Most of the other people in the streets would just laugh. Every once in a while they'd get brave and take a swing at me, but since I wasn't actualy attacking them, I could call the guards on them, and then loot their bodies.

Of course since the servers were always down, I'd have to entertain myself on other servers. So I would make an alchemist, who had enough starting gold to brew a couple of explosive potions. I'd sell them as 'strength' potions. Some guy in heavy armor would walk by, buy it, and try it out. Boom! he's dead. (you're supposed to throw them, not drink them) And the vultures would decend on his corpse to loot his worldly goods. Or I would walk into a bank and blow my self up in a jihad of fury. All those players who are trying to store all their hard won items. I would take several of them out in one Allah-approved blaze of glory. And it was like a feeding frenzy. Instant loot ninjas everywhere.
But the best time is when I was trying to sell a potion to some guy who was obviously a thief. I got a notification that an item had been stolen from me, but I didn't call the guards, because I knew what was going to happen. He says "Ha ha! I am a thief and I just took your potion without paying for it! Now you have to watch me drink it right in front of you!"
and I was all like "oh no. please. don't. I need that potion" and he says "Too bad! haha!" *drink* *boom*. and then I laughed and took all his stuff.
