Shitheads Must Become Cockknockers

Also, while we're on the subject of... whatever it is when you make a word that each letter stands for more words... the new GTA game for the PSP has a group led by Jack Thompson (called J.T. in game) that has a radio ad saying a man named Jack molested a boy.

The group is called C.U.N.T.F.L.A.P.S.

An acronym? I like to think of them as a crazy reminder of names you misplaced.

No acronyms are where you rearrange the letters to make other words... like Tar and Rat.

Gunna have to disagree here. What you are talking about with Tar and Rat is called an anagram.

Thanks for the support here, TwoBuy. Confusingly, "Tar an' a Rat" is a palindrome, as well as an explanation of anagrams.

And when someone delivers you a message to the door, it's a telegram.

And when that someone is wearing an ape costume, it's a gorillagram.

If they take that costume off, it's a strippergram.

If they were actually a chimp in that ape costume, it's a travesty to all that is sacred.

But back to palindromes. That word can be a noun or a transitive verb, so I steer clear of them.

Wow I think I think I just got smarter... the interwebz good for non-porn related stuff too I guess.

Thanks for the correction. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. *plugs Xbox into base of skull*

...I don't have enough power.

hmm... maybe you need one of these.

But I thought the interweb's number two purpose was making fake knowledge look legit... At least that's what I use it for.

You're right. Everyone needs one of those.

A further point to that purpose is, of course, arguing in the face of all reason that this fake knowledge is legitimate. The phrase "It must be true, I saw it on TV," is rapidly becoming irrelevant.

Now it's "It must be true, someone posted it on their blog."
