I hate when people are tallking and they use Internet lingo as words. My lil bro does it all the time, him and his friend all do it. Something will be funny and they'll laugh and say 'lol', what the hell?
I tell them your write LOL not say it and they just look at me with a blank expression. I know the look, its the look you give you perants when they try to be 'hip' and say something stupid.
WTF am I getting old or is my brother and his friends just dumb?

Ohh all his friends think I'm a 'geek' because I keep fish, but they are too afraid to put their hand in with my Oscars cause they'll bite them?, they're oscars not bloody piranha.

My favorite is IMHO (in my humble opinion). It's not humble to point out your humility.

I don't know why but I tried to fix this post with spacing but it keeps typing it up that way.
