Screenname: Dig

I want the screenname "dig". But unfortunately AOL does not automatically delete SNs after a designated period of time of not-logging-on, nor do they allow someone to delete their own SN if they so desire. So what's a guy to do? I've decided that I will e-mail AOL and "Report a Bug" saying that they need to auto-delete old SNs, and I will do it at least once a day for the next year or so to see what happens. Who knows, maybe they'll implement it. That would be nice.

Until then, I've also taken the step to add "dig" to my buddy list with an alert set up, so that if that fool ever does log-on I can ask him for the account and arrange to pay him for it, if need be. To help the guy log on, I've sent a lost-password request to his old e-mail (in hopes he still has that e-mail account), meaning that it'll send an e-mail to him with his password. my hope is that this will prompt him to say "wtf" and go online, at which point, i'll IM him and say "i want your fucking account."

Or perhaps it might be possible to crack his password. This I know can probably be done, but I have neither the cracking skills nor the general know-how to do this.

Any suggestions?

Images: Failed.

I was going to post a bunch of pictures, one of a deer running through a New York Subway station, one of a pregnant Heidi Klum, a couple of some t-shirts, and a couple of my girlfriend and myself. But the server I use to host my images is down.

So no dice. I'll edit this post for awesome later on.

In the meantime ... I'll direct your attention to snapple fact number #25. pretty sweet, I found some honey in the back of our cupboard this morning when I was

Santorum: It's on the tip of your tongue.

my cousin has, in his profile, two definitions of words that are common slang:

Weak Sauce
and
Ginormous

now, of course, i approve because those words are badass, but it makes me wonder just how certain words are coined. are ginormous and weak sauce in a hip-pop song, a la Hova or thurr? Or did someone write a book which introduced the term, a la Generation X? Or was it deliberately created for the pure joy of creating a word (sort of) like Santorum note: I would suggest you click the santorum link if you don't know what it is.

who knows. but little colloquialisms such as those make a person much more interesting. of course, deliberately incorporating them into your speech pattern (or at least, acknowledging that they were deliberately incorporated into your speech pattern) makes them less cool.

still, fantastic phrases are the shit, and if you have any you would like to spread, please feel free to let me know and i will do my best to spread the word.
