You forgot to explain what “owned” means. We old-fogeys don’t always keep up on modern slang.
It’s kinda like saying “you’re mine!”
It’s also a hacker term for taking control of another computer/system.
No, we won’t pardon your ignorance.
Now GO AWAY!
You misspelled “evil,” honeysuckle.
Or it inspires some of us pretentious morons to do at least a modicum of research before posting our opinions. I’ve had several wonderful opportunities to dine on crow (no, not you, Crow) spoiled by a 30-second-just-in-case Google search.
Sorry, no cite.
I’ll try for the next one, but I do tend to get shy around large groups (and God knows the MADs comprise a large group), so I’ll probably be hiding back in a corner somewhere until I get enough alcohol in me to open my mouth (but hopefully not so much that I end up sticking my foot in it - there’s a fine line!).
I saw a lot of what’s now called “Leet Speak” in the computer hacker world long before it showed up in the first-person shooters. Go look at old archives from alt.2600 and some of the other old “haxor” forums.
Although some of the speculation and discussion along those lines is fun. Did you realize that the U.S.S. Enterprise is run by a Linux system (I believe it’s the Red Shirt build), the Death Star runs on Windows DS, and the Alliance ships use Mac OS XXXXX? There is some speculation that Picard is a closet OS/2 Warp user.
Hey, I’m still here!!!

:sniff: I know when I’m not wanted.
slinks off to sit in corner sobbing gently
Hey, we’re supposed to fight ignorants, not make them cry in the corner!
God, you just don’t want us to have any fun at all, do you, featherlou?
NO! NO FUN! The fun will cease immediately!
(And then this thread dies, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.)

No! Don’t you leave me! Don’t leave me, Gabrielle! Don’t you leave me!

As a completely irrelevant aside, gabriela, didn’t you say you hadn’t wanted to join because you’d never have time to post? And you’ve cracked 1,000 posts and you’ve been here 6 months?
You’re making us all look bad!
There is a kind of exam question on the medical students’ torture fests (check with recently graduated Irishgirl on this) that offers two statements, then your choice on the truth or falsity of each, and your opinion on the degree of relatedness.
That is, you can have true, true, related; true, false, related; false, true, related; false, false, related; and the same pairs with “unrelated”.
As per the above statements: False, true, unrelated.
Damn. Forgot there were three statements in his quote. Should have been: False (I said I’d only ever be able to post mornings and evenings - away from work), false, true, unrelated.
Sheesh. Ruined my own set-up.
And thus, ladies and gentleman, we see how gabriela racked up 1000 posts in six months.
Please don’t look at my post-count. Please please please.
You know I adore you, so I can’t make snarky comments about your post count.
Silent as hekk, aren’t we both.
Ah - I get it. It means all your bases are belonging to us.
