i admit

[minxnim]

it took me about 6 months to figure out what LOTR stood for.

i hate abbreviations.

 

[Josh Seipp]

sam and I have an amazing (to us) running joke about this

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah it stands for "Laughing on the Rolling".

Seipp: "OHHHHH...you mean an RJ...yeah yeah sure, RJ."

 

[Demonspell]

Damn, check out these ancient LOTR games I found while searching for a nonrelated use of the acronym (the first one is actually a downloadable tweak emulation):

 

[capeda]

Every time I see ROTK, I still think "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." That's probably just me and a couple friends, though.

 

[S4R]

A slightly more precise term would be acronym. How do you say, sayin'.

 

[minxnim]

i prefer abbreviations. i always thought the word acronym seemed like a gaming word and gaming just gives me the creeps.

 

[azal]

me too, but not so much as gamers do.

 

[minxnim]

exactly.

 

[minxnim]

it's like. acronyms reminds me of those mensa meetings and that magazine GAMES and all those scary pictures in it.

 

[azal]

which means, pretty much everyone on this board frightens me.

you do to preppy, but for entirely different reasons.

 

[xfer]

if you dislike "acronym", you must despise "THAC0"

 

[minxnim]

it's okay azal, i'm terrified of you as well.
alex, i don't even know what that is.

 

[lizard]

alex isn't spelling well because of his cold. he really meant:

 

[FrostGiant]

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

That game rocked.

 

[avi]

I am boycotting this thread

 

[Baliset]

it usually takes me weeks to figure out acronyms sometimes like "wtg" or things of that nature. especially on buffy and angel message boards where they refer to specific episodes in acronym form and i am all like "wtg."

 

[FrostGiant]

not that MFP...ASC, LYBM or mOTW is at all confusing. or IW.

 

[TheNewChupe]

i still don't understand the whole BCO thing. although i know what it is. i just haven't ever been on it.


and is it just me, or is that atari game cartridge picture totally the inspiration for that scene from the movie? like, exactly.

 

[FrostGiant]

I don't remember GDolf holding a sorwd in the movie though. But it bears a striking resemblence.
