When it is working well i call it "Master"
When it is not i call it a long list of words that should never be written (or said for that matter)

I am sorry,but I cannot tell you my computer's name. A trillion years of your time would have passed just to pronounce one sylable in it's name. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

If you're going to quote someone, at least try to spell the name correctly, as well as the quote itself. ESPECIALLY when quoting Oscar Wilde... [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

Pleurisding is intranslatable... well I can translate it but you can't really get the connotations and tone if you're not a native speaker of Dutch. We tend to use nasty diseases as swearwords, surely you have hear of pleurisy? So, pleurisding = pleurisy-thing.

LOL, not unless you're secretly my hyper-intelligent computer posting under the name of Johnny :D
A list of names to call my PC, smart-ass! How could that put you in trouble? I'm grateful for the new addition! ;)
