Thorin

Quote from: Darren Dirt on November 22, 2007, 12:37:04 PM
A week away, and since Thorrin's vehicular services are unavailable for Tom and Mr. Analog, does that mean I do not have any regular interested players?

If anyone talks to Druid or Handsome Devil on a regular basis, maybe check with them if they are interested? As I said, my friend Ryan is on board, so having at least 2 others is all I'd need to have next week go forward.

If not, oh well -- maybe it can be a "every couple of months" special event thing with it depending on Tom or Mr. Analog or Thorrin being able to make it...

Too many r's :P
Prayin' for a 20!

gcc thorin.c -pedantic -o Thorin
compile successful

That is a serious misuse of the comma and a sentence fragment.

Are you stating my text is misusing the comma, or Darren's text is misusing the comma?

Methinks you meant "misuse of apostrophe" (insert Bob The Angry Flower comic link here).

Also I apologize for the misssspelllling, Thorrrrrin. On another online site there's a guy named Tharrin. Get the names mixed up in my typed verbiage :P



PS: FMP  ::)

Heh, poor guy.  I hope it's not his real name :P  I understand how easy it is to get the two mixed up, though.  At least you don't pronounce the h in my name like so many people do even after I tell 'em how to pronounce my name...

Not seen either of those abbreviations used. ever.

UrbanDictionary.com is a great resource to translate "Gen-X-Speak" ;)

Also "FMP" was my esoteric way of adding a slight twist to the esoteric acronym, not exactly common (in fact I warn AGAINST searching for it on UD as -- like so many other things on that site -- it appears to be a shorthand for a profane and/or sexual activity/concept)

Oh Reginald! I disagree!

*skreeeeeeeeeeeee*

Urban Dictionary is possibly the most abused Wiki ever. It contains a VAST amount of opinionated definitions that are often regional or nonsensical with no etymology provided to verify sources.

(look at the vast array of definitions for "gitch" alone). At best I would say that UD is for entertainment purpose only and / or "use at your own risk".

Also, I'm splitting this thread because while interesting, it went way off topic :)

But that's what makes it so FUN! ;)

But I certainly can not argue with the signal:noise ratio... Although it has helped me more than a handful of times when something in a forum or online chat (usually an acronym) -- or even some of the references in The Daily Show (like Lewis Black's rants, especially). :)
