Ahhh! I wonder what the filters would filter if AS was in say, Australia or England or Canada or some other English speaking country like France.
The MSN one was pretty tricky it used to pick up all the aussie naughties. If it was in Aussie you wouldnt be able to say...

Shag is Pommie. We wouldnt be able to say Root.
Bugger is acceptable!! We have a heap of TV commercials that have bugger in them

Oh my! That must be a bad word.
Oh my. I think I know what root means. Does it start with a 'P' or an 'F'?
I'm trying to see if my signature picture works...
Hum....it didn't. I suppose I'm allowed to say "Oh bugger" now?!

Ahh for the return of Lexie's double entendres.
Not sure about 'P'.
Gads, is this sort of like hiding behind the barn when you were a kid and trying out the "words"? LMAO!!!
I think I got the 'F'. That always gets 'em going.
Should have asked... Is it a noun or a verb?
There are times when smileys aren't enough. So wish this forum supported sound.
I think the sound would drive you crazy after a while. Have you ever listened to it on AOL?(but, then, I prefer to keep my sound off most of the time)
A piece of trivia - that word that everyone uses but claims that they don't is an acronym from old English law (unless I'm getting my urban legends mixed up).
And the meaning was different?
Urban Legend, Yes
True? Probably not.
True? Probably not.

Google search 'acronym' and your word. First site found:
With precious few exceptions, words of acronymic origin date from the 20th century and no earlier. It's almost guaranteed, therefore, any word from before the time of automobiles did not spring to life from a series of initials becoming so common folks began pronouncing it as its own word.
Just look how much a person can learn before noon! ( I really meant that..when I went back to read my post, it sounded sort of smart-mouthed! Didn't mean it that way!!)

Well, well. Some interest. Hmmm?
I am always interested in language.
The acronym gets 6,440 hits in Google. But, since it gets so many hits, that must mean it's wrong (I mean that - "prevailing wisdom" is an oxymoron). But, I do show references as early as 1500's.
Oh the joys of a forum and internet. Imagine the days when people had to look this kind of stuff up in library, or worst, remember it.

Rick, could you, for slow me, tell me the first 2 letters of the word? The word I thought you meant brought up 0 results on google!
"Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing." - Oscar Wilde
"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." - Oscar Wilde
I'll agree with both!!
The OW quotes Rick listed above reminded me of this story:
A reporter was interviewing a successful businessman, and asked him to what he attributed his success?
"Two words," the businessman said. "GOOD JUDGEMENT!"
"How do you get good judgement?", the reporter asked.
"One word -- EXPERIENCE!"
"But how do you get experience?", the reporter persisted.
"Two words -- BAD JUDGEMENT!"
Don't know if true, but always seemed to have the ring of truth!

Hi Jabber,
Just an observation. Wasn't sure if anyone noticed it. Just found it curious.
P.S. I'm glad you started this topic. Before you did, people seemed a little bit uptight about private topics.
Lol, and what are we talking about?...I think I didn't make the last turn!!

Is my topic about Nothing, bigger than my topic about Something?
It would be funny if the nothing topic was more interesting than my something topic. Sometimes I want to write about something but have nowhere to put it, now I wouldnt know whether to put in under Something or Nothing.
HELP!! I am sounding like Rick
Lexie

That's all that was changed/added.
It was a slow day for me. No much caught my fancy today, at least on the forum.
And what caught your fancy elsewhere?
Lexie
Lexie
C. S. Lewis, but I have been very faithful on my forum fancies.
I am currently having an email arguement with a seller who seems to think he knows more about the australian postal system than I do. I dont think so Chum!!
Its a good outlet for some pent up agression though and it does save me from *kicking the cat* (ohh - I realised that may be an aussie-ism - kicking the cat is a saying...I DONT actually kick my cats )
Ack - I think I may put a disclaimer in my signature

That really tickled my Lexie fancy. Thanks. May sneak back for the night shift.
You will be "Sneaking" ?
Are you reading again?? I finally finished the series I was reading. I was a little , I realised that I had those characters in my life for nearly 2 years

Mind if I ask which series?

Its Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series. Its a strange series, but I really liked it. Everybody I have recommended it to has loved it too.

Lexie, someone told me a story about people south of the equator.
Is this true?
Sitting at your desk, raise your right foot off the floor and move in clockwise circles. Now, while doing that, with your right hand draw a big number 6 in the air. Your foot changes direction and there is nothing you can do about it.

Oh my!! DId they also tell you that the toilets flushed up?
Try it Mrs.M, you'll see what I mean. (just kidding about only in the south)
There is a trick to doing it you know. Instead of drawing your six from the top down, draw it from the inside curl of the circle up! You can do it!
Only weird people make sixs that way!
YA, I know!
Puppy That Was Fun - really fun
I'm getting a free beer at the bar for that one..

Puppy - The 6 thing definately works, but I can keep it going if I concentrate, LOL I am one of those ppl that can pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time, with either hand.
Mrs M - apparently our toilets do flush in the opposite directions
Well the weather burea have done an outstanding job again!! They have JUST started broadcasting the Severe Wind and Storm Warning - NEWS FLASH - its all ready here dorks!!!!
I have just retrieved my washing from the horse paddocks and battened down the hatches so to speak. LOL Last time one of these little fella's hit - we lost 15 HUGE trees. 1 just missing the house. That was at our last place though, here we only have a few huge Gum Trees around the house. Should be pretty safe.
I seriously hate all the dust thats blowing around though!!
Guess you lot have all gone to bed now

No. I'm still up seeing if you were still up, or down. Are you up, down, or in the middle? Scale of 1 to 10 (1 being root canal - 11 being Robbie Williams).
Prolly an 7, maybe an 8. LOL Depends whether we get blown away.

"Blown away" meaning a lot of wind?
I have a bit of a joke, which you probably already heard. It's a Catholic joke (versue Jehovah Witness joke). OK to post?

Yes, I can, but lately I don't have much incentive. Please tell your friend to rein it in.
On a lighter note... Morning Shirley!
Morning, Puppy. Nice to see a friendly face. It's still night on my side of town, though!
Well I just said that, because for me, it's closer to get up time than lay down time.
Then what are you still doing up? Or are you just up early? Never mind, it's nice to see you whatever the hour.
Hey, can you answer another question? Do you know if there's a limit to the number of graphics you can put in a post? And how does it affect AS's bandwidth/memory/processing speed? Forums, I mean -- I know AS Proper is separate from Infopop.

I'm up. And I'm waiting.
Was ready to call it a night, but then Geek showed up, and had to say hello to him. Caught what Rick did with Lexi, and of course had to see that through.
One thing leads to another.
ps I got your 'out of the corner' joke.

I've posted over 25 pics in a post, but don't know about in a sig.
Will this work?
Wish it were a little smaller, though. Maybe I'll keep looking.
