coming to my party or not because I need to know how much beer to order" or
something...

Merci beaucoup!

I posted to .general because I wrote about something LEGO-related. And to
.debate because it was debate-ish.

Yeah, thanks, I'm coming to that party! Would you pay for my taxi?

How do you pronounce "LOL"? Better asked: Does anybody ever pronounce it? Ain't
www-acronyms like that only used in written communication?
Bye

Taxi OR beer, whichever's less. I guess... Assuming I have any money left after
BF... Apparently some rumor got started that I'm buying rounds at Rocklands???
Gonna be hard to pull off because Nik'll be with me again this year and I don't
think I can sneak him in the way I did 2 years ago...
Anyway, not gonna happen.
Well maybe I'll buy rounds just for the people that actually like me (and can
prove it... somehow...), that should be a lot cheaper...

Ya I think so, except in rare circumstances. But the question still comes up,
how do you say it "in your head" when you're reading it, even if you don't voice
it... I actually say LOL "loll" in my head, believe it or not, unlike IIRC...

Crap, there's always a catch isn't there?

What a strange person! Acros are to save time typing, neh? So, why wouldn’t
one voice it out “in one’s head”? Whenever I read an acro, I unsuffit.
Unless a person is too important and their time too valuable to take that extra
nanosecond or two to do it? ;-)

The voices in my head talk slowly, so that I can understand what they are
saying... apparently yours don’t, and talk so fast that you’re getting garbled
messages?
That certainly would explain a lot!

Yep, that’s me all right...

Of all the people who *could* have responded to [JOHN], I knew you would be
the first (if not the only) to chime in and say that. You're becoming too
easy to read. Time to change your modus operandi...
