Found it. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/c...en/kidtalk.mspx It's called leet. Or in leetspeak: 1337

I just recently saw a website (of course I can't remember where) that talked about this exact thing. It's more common in chat rooms or IMs but they even had a name for it. There are certain letters that people will specifically use rather than type the word the way it's supposed to be. @ = a 3 = E etc... I'll see if I can remember where I found the link.

"What are you going to do today Napoleon?" "Whatever I fell like jeez!" "Hey Napoleon, gimmie some tots" "No way, get your own tots"

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Mar 17, 2005 -> 09:26 AM) I started with Cellular One in 1998 and then my account was sold to Cingular (or Cell One was bought, something like that). Just added Brian to my account to share the minutes I get. We had a Cellular One here in Rockford but it changed to US Cellular, not Cingular... Anyway that's what I've had since 1998 or so. Haven't really had any major problems with them. Having a cell phone has saved my ass more times than I can remember. Most of the time it involves being on some country road or interstate in the middle of nowhere and my car breaking down... How did we ever survive without them???

I forgot my favorite scene... "I said across her nose not up it!" "Sorry sir, I'm doing my best." "Who made that man a gunner?" "I did sir, he's my cousin." "Who is that?" "He's an asshole sir." "I know that. What's his name?" "That is his name sir. Asshole. Major Asshole." "And his cousin?" "He's an asshole too sir. Gunner's mate, first-class phillip asshole" "How many assholes do we have on this ship?" *everyone stands up* "yo!" "I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes" "Keep firing assholes!"

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Mar 16, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) Good. But, there is better. "Because good is dumb...and you know it." Acually, I believe it was: "Evil will always triumph over good, because good is dumb." "Did you see anything?" "No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again." "So the combination is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5" "1, 2, 3, 4, 5? That's the stupidiest combination I've ever heard of. That's the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage!" "Do you have the combination" "Yes sir right here." "Good what is it?" "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" "That's amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!" "Look sir, the radar. It appears to be jammed!" "Rassberry! Only one man dares give me the rassberry! Lone Star!" *camera crashes into Dark Helmet* "Prepare to say good-bye to your 2 best friends. And I don't mean the ones in the Winnebago!"

I could just about quote this entire movie... "It's Mega-Maid! She's gone from suck to blow!" Dark Helmet:Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Star. Lone Star: What? Dark Helmet: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. Lone Star: What's that make us? Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become.

QUOTE(winodj @ Mar 14, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) I read the TOS, it doesn't seem as blatantly awful as what people are making this out to be. Mostly they said that if your IM records are subpoenaed in a criminal court, they'll hand em over. Big deal. Three rules for not getting caught: 1. Never write anything down. 2. Never record anything. 3. Deny, deny, deny

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 05:53 PM) LOL, I would maybe be good enough for the PBA if I were more consistent...an 1883 for 9 is decent, but you gotta bowl around 20-40 games a week on the PBA, and you gotta be averaging around 230 to even be anywhere close. I know a couple of guys that might be able to make it if they wanted to. Hell, if I bowled more than once a week I might even be able to raise my average up enough to make it. I've asked a couple the of the guys I know about it and one said that it would suck the fun out it. Right now it's just something fun to do 1 or 2 nights a week. Plus, if you have a bad game or three, nobody notices (except maybe your teammates).

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) I am pretty sure I will end up getting a ring for it, but it will likely take a while. The fact that you didn't get anything for yours would really suck...just because it is the first day of league really seems like it should mean nothing. The fact is you bowled a 300, you bowled it during a league, and you said that you had paid your yearly dues, so to me, that seems sanctioned...but I suppose with the rule change and all, that would make sense. My next goal is most definately a 700...that is the only thing my dad still has the upper hand in. I have never gotten a 700 series, which really sucks...the closest I have gotten is about 686 or so, so I am still a few pins away even then. And 793...I couldn't imagine that. I have a friend on my scratch team...quite possibly a top 3 junior bowler in North Dakota...who has shot like 4 or 5 299's...and after one of them, I went up to him, gave him a 5 and said good score...because it is not a good game. That is about the same way I would describe a 793...that is a good score, but is not a good series, especially since you were that close. Just wondering, do you remember what you left on your 11th ball? Also...I am pretty inconsistent as well...I just tend to maintain strings to start off games really well, for some reason. I have shot 2 300's, as I said, and I have also started with the first 8, 7, and 6 too. The game before my first 300 was a 146, and the game after my 2nd was a 171. And within the past month or so, during our scratch practice, I shot a 4 game series under 600...which is major ouchies. Well, I did get a little plaque from the bowling alley, a patch and my name in the paper. I was always told that as a junior bowler I couldn't receive anything of monetary value. I couldn't enter any tourneys where I could win money or even moonlight bowl. There was one time I couldn't even enter a turkey shoot. I honestly cannot remember exactly what I left on my 11th ball. I want to say it was an 8 count but I don't remember which pins. I got a little too much hook and it just went right for the headpin. What's funny is that my wife (who was bowling with me) didnt' even realize what was happening until the 10th frame. I seem to be the opposite as you. I'll get opens or spares for the first 3 or 4 frames, finally figure out what I'm doing wrong and then strike out. One time when I was at a practice for my high school team I got a spare in the first frame and then 11 strikes in a row. That was pretty fun. How long have you been bowling BTW?

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 12:01 PM) IIRC, sanction rules changed in 1997 to allow Jr's to get rings. But it being your first game and not having an established HCP, and likely not being sanctioned (I think you have to have rolled 12 games to be sanctioned...??) that's probably why you didn't get one also. 1997? That figures... I was told that I need an established average for whatever reason. I don't know that HCP has much to do with it. There have been a number of times where I have a 0 for HCP because my average is over 200. I've always understood that you are sanctioned as soon as you pay your yearly dues. My only solution is that I just have to do it again. Only probem is that I haven't bowled in about 3 years...

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) 10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering. On a similiar note, I once went into a restaurant and saw a sign that said, "Picture menus are also available." Stop and think about that for a second...

QUOTE(Cali @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) It is and it isn't. I mean if you're one of the prospective familes you have to hope your situation is deemed desparate enough by executives, to have ABC capitalize on it. Hope s***ty must you feel if you're one of the 10's of thousands of familes that missed the cut. "Oh we're sorry, you guys aren't in bad enough shape for our liking" Ouch. Actually, seeing some of the houses they've "remodeled" and the reasons they have for them actually gives me some hope that I could send them a tape and actually get chosen. Some of them are in better shape than my house before they even do anything to them...

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Need to bump. Just thought I'd mention that I threw another 300...lol This time it was sanctioned, so I will get a ring for it...which is pretty sweet. EDIT: Also, if you wanna see a (bad) pic of me...check out this site, and click on Jr. Bowler of the Week Let me know what kind of award you get. I got my first (and only) 300 game when I was 15 but I didn't get a single thing for it. I don't think jr. bowlers are allowed to receive 300 rings because of the monetary value. At least that's what I was told. I was also told that since I rolled mine on the first day of the bowling season that I didn't have an established average and that had something to do with it. Needless to say, I couldn't carry the 232 average I ended up with. You're next goal should be a 700 and/or 800 series. I once missed a 300 game by missing the 11th strike and then ended up with a 793 series. That really sucked...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) 'cleared' and 'in camp' means what exactly? I'll be curious to see what he's tipping the scales at. IIRC, I heard at one time that Frank had actually lost weight...

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) I'm too lazy to look it up but you'd have to figure that Sabathia, Steve Avery and Dwight gooden all would have had more victories at a similar age. Garland = 46 wins at age 24 Sabathia = 54 wins at age 23 Gooden = 100 wins at age 24 Avery = 58 wins at age 24

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) I've been thinking more about JRs payroll quotes. This is what it comes down to. Say we have $5 million in unspent payroll (I have no idea how much in reality, that is a just a number I pulled out of my ass) Would having another $5 million type player all year be more valuable to the Sox vs picking up a $10 million type player in July (and only owing him that same $5 mil for the 2nd half of the season). Opinions? It really depends on the strengths and weaknesses of the team at mid-season and what the standings look like IMO. As the team stands right now, I don't think there are many $5 million players that would actually be a significant upgrade from what they already have. Might as well save it just in case someone gets injured, or just doesn't meet expectations.

QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Mar 2, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Might as well just sell the team to them. Pathetic. If companies started buying sports teams, tou can come up with some pretty interesting combonations... The Miller Genuine Draft Dodgers The Dodge Chargers The Labatt Blues The Ford Broncos The Gillette Knicks The Visa Bills The Chevy Astros The Clorox White Sox?

He must not realize that in the middle of winter, 15 degrees is considered warm around here...
