Bazy,
You seem to have a very active imagination, a great sense of humor and an inordinate fondness for arcane abbreviations which only you understand. So that being the case why bother? So tell us dear correspondent, just what the heck does ROTFLMBO mean to a world of American english speakers?
Thank you,
Neal, the Zooman
PS Did everybody have a great Thanksgiving with respective friends and family?

I have a hard time with all that "text language" also(and Im still quite young). I prefer when text it written out in sentence form.

I think it stands for "rolling on the floor laughing my butt off".


And in response to Thanksgiving, mine was very lovely. My family always hosts at my home and we had friends and family over. We cooked up a 2year 4month old Bourbon Red turkey that we raised here on our small backyard farm. It was a good day.

Hello BAZY,
It's me again. Actually, if rolling on the floor in extreme laughter threatens to cause the loss of one's butt then may I suggest that the laughter is emanating from the wrong end?
My best to all,
Neal, the Zooman

Hello Chicken Pickin,
About those dwarf Nigerians to which you allude… Are they the ones who send out those e-letters saying, I'm a rich Nigerian prince who needs your help in securing some of my temporarily tied up wealth? And just as a matter of curiosity why are they only dwarfs?
The only dwarfs I have are a brace of white Silkies and a cute little chatter box hen of multiple origins. I can hardly wait to breed more of the Silkies, my favorite biological incubator/brooders. If any of you great folks want to hear the saga of the Silkie who reared a pair of geese call me at 209-327-2068 and I shall recite it for you - it was a SCREAM! Heck, I'll talk to anybody about anything. As a young man I got paid for flapping my jaws as a professor; and nowadays I have to pay listeners to hear my stuff. I live alone with nearly 30 chickens and a very responsive 11 year old kitty who is unintelligible. Sometimes I think that there just ain't no justice…
My best to all, as usual,
Neal, the Zooman

Nigerian Dwarfs are a breed of goats. The are called dwarfs because they are miniature(smaller than standard size goats)

I had a connection issue, and had pressed the submit button too many times before I figured out the problem. Unfortunately I have not learned how to delete duplicate posts, and rather than waste even more of everyone's time explaining the obvious, I chose to let the moderators take care of it. Inordinate? How would you possible have enough facts to arrive at that conclusion? Also to mention, your use of the word arcane is rendered redundant by the rest of the sentence. And 'why bother' with what exactly? Why did you bother to comment? Just to embarrass me and offended me? If that was the purpose, you have succeeded. Thank you, Sustained for answering everyone's question. I understand the sentiment about the acronym usage, and I will not use them any more.

You're welcome. I don't think it was very well received however. I simply was answering the question as you weren't online to do so.

Don't give up the acronyms! Most of us are familiar with them. And use them as well(I am extremely guilty of this).

I love acronyms, but the ones I like to use are rated "R".
