So. I have been on the web since you whippersnappers thought drag and drop meant "drag my blanky and drop my binky."
My generation created all the fun little acronyms you MySpace kids take for granted: LOL, L337, etc.
Oddly enough, I have come across one that I am not sure I get:
"FTW"
I think I know what it is but am not sure, and as MT (http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Mark_Twain/31) said: It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
So clue me in. (What a beatnik thing to say. OMG!)

You know, Google doesn't judge.
So what are you up to, 43? I hate to say it, but think we need to start looking at putting you in a home. I mean, you didn't even know what "FTW" stood for! It just doesn't look good...

Oh, silly me. "For the Win"
That makes perfect sense. All is clear now. I can die a happy old man now. Thank you all soooooooooo much.
Er, what's that, nurse? Time for my geritol? Ok. And now my sponge bath. Watch that I don't poke your eye out...Heh heh.
Hey. Where did my walker go? I gotta pee.
Damn you, nurse. How dare you torture me so.
I've fallen for you and I can't get it up.

What are you still doing up? It's a school night. Go back to bed. No, you can't have a glass of water, and, no, I will not look under your bed for the boogey man.
What?
Say that again, and your are grounded, young man.
Ok. That is the last straw. I'm gonna wash your mouth out with soap, you petulant little bast...
er...
(damn, I'm glad I'm an impotent ol' fart)

Actually, I was premature. (What else is new when you're my age.)
I read your blog after posting and commented.
Good luck. You're gonna need it. ;)

Is she hot?Hangon ... you're asking about his mother?? Given your posts in a different thread, I'd be worried about you asking if his father is hot (which I would find disturbing in a far, far, greater way ;) ).

That reminds be of a line from "Alice's Resturant" by Arlo Guthrie.

Sorry to make an off topic thread go even more off topic but I wanted to give an update on my court situation because I mentioned it here.
Probation Before Judgement. :D
No points on my license and I didn't have to pay for the ticket (I only had to pay the court fee).

You make beer. You are in my age range. You seem intelligent and witty. Now I'm wondering if you are hot...
:D
Sorry. Boring lonely friday.

What you talkin' 'bout Willis! I'm only 38! At least until March.
Maybe I'll do that too.
