> [@Elenia28](#): > > MPA > > Uh, yeah, I hate all of them. Just like I hate my initials. How could you hate the Manitoba Pschiatric Association? They were voted the most lovable pychiatric association in all of Canada, and took first runner up for North America. (As I remember, the winner was Tecate, Mexico. Bit of an upset victory there.) After looking at my list again, I changed my mind. My favorite is Government-Furnished Concept. I wonder what that means? It sounds ominous. ---

My four favorites: DTH Die Toten Hosen _-I’m sure it doesn’t really mean this, but I read it as “I’m carrying hose.” Heh_ DTH DMS Transition Hub (just because it sounds neat) DTH Down to Hell, where Dth = Decatherm (measurement unit for heat; 1,000,000 BTU) seems appropriate. ---

Wow, being named “Greg Fucking Charles” was apparently a more cruel joke than your parents had ever imagined.
