The ones I (think I) know:
HTFU - Harden the F#%k up (my favourite)
IMO - In my opinion????
RAOFL - Roll around on floor laughing?????? did I just make this one up?
WTF - What the f$%k

- dude wearing sunglasses???????
- embarassed
- salivating
[}:)] - my favourite martian??????
- wink wink say no more
- hey what's that clown think he's doing (reference to Farside cartoon)
- someone deserves a punch in the head
- WTF?????
- Sad
- Bug eye (knew a girl like this once)
- Oh my gosh
- angry
- intoxicated (pi55ed)

Please add to &/or correct this list as I can use it as a reference.

"patting the squid" ROFLMAO

What about the ones that sh!t you? For me it is

(1) over use of lol. Particularly seems to be a trait of young females lol. They type like like something so not funny and they use it all the time lol.

(2) on the seppo newsgroups, every time they answer a question for a newbie: YMMV (your mileage may vary). "Yeah get a 150L board it will plane in 15kn but YMMV" Fine, but not when it as at the bottom of almost every reply

I'm stressed, anyone got an ?

Hey Mark, love the avatar. Rock on, dude!

Brilliant.

See, comes in very handy. As Wet Willy has already found out. Go forth and use if from now on.

Stewie, did you wipe????, there is no difference between your last 2 posting times, you must be very quick, or, um, a bit crusty

Was just a quicky. I had some left over Sav's in batter last night and they came out very quickly. By the time I sat down, the show was over. Just the way I like it, quick and clean.

I have not been far away. Uncle Frank has gone to Italy for a couple of months, so I have been left to run this show. This job comes with lots of responsibilities, so I can't sit at the PC at the moment and lay my wisdom on the world.

Back to the fryer.

keep us posted...(hope you washed your hands)
