Wen1now
Does that stand for something?

John Dvorak
BYOB = bring your own BBQ
boboquack

boboquack
^ and v
Wen1now
Note to self: kill obvious words early
Sp3000
fyi I'd have said no - looking up BBBQ for me is exclusively bringing up said Simpsons ep (it's not something used normally otherwise)
Eric Tressler
6:46 AM
so... I can't unstar rubio's message?
Sp3000
(Hmm apparently the extra B in BYOBB is revealed to be a typo in the ep...
shrugs
screw it, game's over :P)
ffao
I should probably get to watching the Simpsons
Morgan G
oh so yeah, i can't defend. Anyone else is welcome to, or go to bed
ffao
there's a huge list of stuff I was largely unimpressed by when a child and that I find hilarious now
Eric Tressler
I'll defend one more time, I guess
Wen1now
6:52 AM
Ooh, do you have any examples of that stuff?
Eric Tressler
