Fantastic word game

Beneath the giant rhododendron bush/tree in my parents' yard, this morning I raked out some leaves that only seemed to keep coming for like five minutes.

Technically, you're probably right, Darth, but the FWG doesn't use GMT, PST, EST, or any other traditional time measurement for determining who posts first in the day. We've advanced beyond mere clock-centric references. Usually, it involves a complex algorithm centered around what time we expect dmargalotti to get up [WTWEDTGU], which can vary on different factors such as what day it is, what dmargalotti's work status is for that day, and whether or not any of us stay up all night.
 
For like five minutes I tried to figure out the complex algorithm that quad outlined in his message to Darth but after finding it all to be completely too confusing, I gave up.
 
A Director of WTWEDTGU would probably just be redundant, because everyone kind of looks back and past history and future expectations, but not any traditional time-marking techniques, and creates their own WTWEDTGU.
 
WTWEDTGU is the kind of abbreviated teen text talk that quad hopes will someday become as famous as FYI, LOL, BTW, ROTFLMAO, IMHO, and of course, BFF.


Oh, BTW todays' WTWEDTGU is 3:05am ET so take that!
 
FYI, LOL, BTW, ROTFLMAO, IMHO, and of course, BFF are all current acronyms, and so probably are also euphemisms.

3:05?!! That only counts as the first post of the day because it's you! Nice fulfilling your duty! I ran the algorithm! What's with the exclamation points?!
 
Euphemisms have their place but it's still kinda sketchy using one in a sentence although it's not unheard of.


dm, technically, your 3:05am contribution is part of the overnight area because, as I've mentioned earlier, the business portion of the day (usually starting with your Early Morning Contribution) starts at 5am EST (which, I think via the Radio-Info clock, might actually read as 6am or later). So there. :p
 
Unheard of is the rule that requires my first early morning contribution of the day to be made no earlier than 5am ET but I guess when you are the Game Czar you can just make these things up as you go along.
 
Casey Kasem used to have his programme on KLTH, but since that station changed hands several years ago it's been dropped, but thankfully he's also producing a string of oldies compilation CDs.

[size=8pt]*plug*
 
Oldies compilation CDs replaced those K-Tel hit record albums from the 70's that often but not always featured the original hits by the original stars.

Wait...what? How? When? Oh, never mind...

Their memory of what the songs sounded like makes them long for a time when they were young and the music was new.
 
"New Zoo Revue" was a neat educational program back in the day, but it doesn't hold a candle to "Hot Fudge."
 
Hot Fudge was just one of the samples I tasted at the Miss Silkie's Tasty Tidbits concession stand that was up and running outside FWG Elementary earlier today during the business portion of the day which, as I'd mentioned several dozen pages ago Mr IDBC, begins at 5am EST.


And, no, I'm not gonna try to find it. :D
 
5 AM EST is the same as 3 AM Pacific DAYLIGHT Time, or 0300 PDT to those of us using the 24-hour time standard, and I am usually sound asleep by that time.

[size=8pt]And I'm probably going to be heading home pretty soon. I'm on my dinner break, the company has me working the graveyard shift again (yup, it's that time of the year again) and it's been a long 15-hour day. Strange thing, that, I seem to get more work done after everyone else has gone home, except for the janitor and maybe a sysop in the computer centre, than I do during the actual business day when everyone's here.
 
I am usually sound asleep by that time too except for those times when my excitement over my anticipated first post of the day makes it difficult to sleep and I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.
 
His or her mental development would increase exponentially especially after working on his or her very first TPS Report.
 
His or her very first TPS Report would be a lot easier than in the old days before computerization, but in case it all goes down in a handbasket, WWIII begins, and the FWG has to go back to keeping records the old-fashioned way, they still have to know the background the process.

Realistically, those redundancies are still being covered even today, because of interns.
