HAGGIS!

or shark.

or was that dolphin?

Sundae · 06-22-2009, 02:59 PM

I missed the whole haggis meme.
And I'm cool enough to admit I missed it. Which means I'm uber cool.
Oh, and I've eaten haggis (with neeps and tatties)

So explain. Now. Or I'll set Irvine Welsh on ye.

OK...here's what happened.

I was texting a friend, and went to put in "haha." Well, predictive text with a numerical (non-qwerty) keyboard tried to change ha...h to haggis. So I started typing haggis to my friend instead. Then UT said we couldn't use LOL anymore, and I thought what a great opportunity to use haggis. Then I thought everyone could have their own replacement.

Well, that's pretty much it.

OH, and speaking of shark/dolphin, I was swimming with my nieces yesterday and they had a big blow-up floaty dolphin. I said "It's a shark" and my soon-to-be 9 year old niece said "No, it's a dolphin." We went back and forth with shark/dolphin the rest of the day. Future Dwellar?

I just had some Haggis, the good stuff from http://www.caledoniankitchen.com/catalog/, at the Scottish Highland Games at UTA stadium. Yes, yes, with the neeps and tatties, of course! And some Scottish eggs (the most perfect food yet invented by mankind).

lumberjim · 06-22-2009, 06:00 PM

is that a hard boiled egg coated with some type of sausage and then deep fried?!

ETA: it IS!

i got wood.

I used to not really like LOL. I always wondered and usually doubted that the people I chatted with really laughed out loud. I personally liked to write "hahahahhahahahaha" to show that I am laughing because I was indeed laughing out loud. And with "hahahahhahahaha," the other person can kinda, sorta hear me laughing out loud. But now, I am lazy.

I type lol when I think something is funny but all I'm doing is smiling, letting out a short chuckle, or trying to be nice. When I actually laugh out loud, I would type in "hahahhahahahahahhaha."

Is it related to scotch tape? 'Cause I don't think I'd like it much.

Glinda · 06-23-2009, 02:23 PM

I've tried using *snork!* instead of LOL, but invariably someone asks questions.

What's so confusing about *snork*?
