Does LLAPSWASIFOSOS stand for again?
I had a massive IGFLITO moment this morning and it hurled me back into the land of Divot Abbreviations.
Sometimes being back in the zone of those heady days of halcyon divotry makes me yearn to create a CM story.
And then reality bites.
And you'd think this place would be a haven in these days when the geeks have inherited the earth. At least until the bubble bursts.
Avaunt!

LLAPWASIFOSOS : Looking Like A Pantfish Waving A Stick In Front Of Some Other Sticks.
For Baseball I believe we settled on LLAPWASIFONOSBSPWACOHF : Looking Like A Pantfish Waving A Stick In Front Of No Other Sticks But Some Pantfish With A Colander On His Face.
For the brief time I played Out Of The Park Baseball on Steam I renamed the .exe Out Of The Park LLAPWASIFONOSBSPWACOHF 14. Literally every time I started the game I'd get a clutch of "WTF!?" messages from confused colonials.

I should add that some days I can't remember how old I am, but I have LLAPWASIFOSOS on instant recall.
Thanks, Divots.

This is true for so many things. Much of those days has passed into common parlance with me and mine.
Thanks for that, s1ut. It makes me fuzzy and warm to see that if you google IGFLITO you get posts from Pres and deej in the jumble of confused responses.
Legacy.
Avaunt once more a little more slowly due to infirmity.

Sometimes being back in the zone of those heady days of halcyon divotry makes me yearn to create a CM story. I'd read it. Moo has a long FM14 game going and I have one I got distracted from when too many new games released, but I was having fun for a while in the lower reaches of German football.

Some days I try to remember what we called the Long Acronym Cup before we abbreviated it, but I honestly have no idea any more.

That one also eludes me. I still refer to it internally as The LAC, but I think that one was lost to time and to Brighton's love of deleting everything that clashed with his shirt.

Ooft. Flashback attack. Need a wee sit down. Pretty sure LAC's original post was designed to ironically point out that the teams competing in the Champions League weren't necessarily the champions.

Yes Pops, you're correct. There have been occasions on other forums where I've used "the LAC" then when asked what I was on about had to correct myself, ironically stating "typo" in good old-fashioned htat-based shenanigans.
Mittens, indeed.

Yes and yes.
Also, you smell.

That's why I've just gone and registered in the forum for those blessed with a Surfeit of Scent.
They'll appreciate me.

I had to go and try that. Coffers was my top link. Googletastic!!1!

I don't watch much of anything, listen to less, play a little bit of FM and read some freebooks I get for my Kindle. Saved you a thread. Edit: ah it's the links to imageshack.....

White-panted fish.
What do you do with all your time, Moo- breed budgies? Keep koi? Run a covert ninja-based escort service for late-night bingo callers?

Time? I have some? Mostly, I go to work, return, cook (if she's "working" late, multitudes of dish-washing, then put the little 'un to bed before watching her watch soap operas. I do occasionally get on FM, but it's more and more fleeting. I talk to Stu on Skype for too often for his liking whilst at gazebo.

Occasionally I have to drop Skype off my work laptop onto my phone so I can call moo a canute without the work censor klaxon sounding.

Well, me too, but it usually ends up in Stu telling me about his perfect life in Merka. I normally then just swear at him or send him videos of pineapple-pens.
