Chatterbox: Down to Earth

TNO, I would

TNO, I would like to try and attempt to make peace with you. I know we fight a lot, about...things (ie, Eragon, The Jonas Brothers, etc.). But I'm getting sick of it.  Let's just stop being nasty to each other. Please???

Okay, what does (umlaut) actually mean??? Everyone is saying it but me!

Umlaut is the lil' dot thing. Over the "o." The two... dot things. Like is "naive" or "maelstrom."

Oooooooooh. That makes sense. I thought it was some kind of code word for some weirdo past event that made her famous on this website....My imagination runs wild, as you can tell. ;-)

Umlauts are... are... um... dotty accent things. *points at name* See? SEE THE DOTTY THINGS?

Anyways, they're bloody difficult/time consuming to make on Windows computers *glares at Windows* so most people just say TNO (like you) and then some people feel guilty about it for some reason so they extend it to TNO (umlaut).

If you read the beginning of your post in a British Accent, it's immensely funny. It sounds like 'dotty' is a curse word.

And the wig! You can't forget the awesome wig of awesome explodyness!

...While we're at it, let's just steal the whole costume. Preferably the Poor Unfortunate Souls one, where the tentacles are all connected with that mesh stuff, because I like that one the best. We could also kidnap her makeup artists, too.

Heck, let's just kidnap the entire cast and be done with it.

(Yes, I feel guilty about it. Not being able to do the umlaut thing. That's not so very awful, is it?)

That's as far as my conscience goes, though, because I'm totally with you on kidnapping the cast... and let's eelnap Flotsam and Jetsam... and Complete And Total Genius Alan Menkan also, because he's, well, a complete and total genius... <3

OK!!! lets see now. .... ¨ Is that it? I think... hmmm TNÖ I can do a LOT of things!  I like the apples!

The apples don't appear to show up on IE. It must be some big Microsoft conspiracy. *glares at Microsoft*

@Mary: See? See? Even I don't use umlauts on Windows machines. You don't have to feel guilty...

your school has bad taste in computers. 

(I have no room to talk here. The only Macs in my school are the two OS 9 machines used for looking up books in the library. Man, are they slow.)
