Back in the ’80s I had a copy of MIL-STD-12D– ABBREVIATIONS FOR USE ON DRAWINGS, AND IN SPECIFICATIONS, STANDARDS AND TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS.It included GIGO.
TERESA Toxicological Evaluation of Realistic Emissions of Source Aerosols (study) TERESA Transformation Environment for Interactive Systems Representations.
@Superfrog: Some time back, the Oldsmobile Company was going to form a coalition with McDonald’s to implement the EIEIO. It would, of course, be known as Olds-McDonald EIEIO.
1) Glad you found my favorite Kliban cartoon, Teresa. Of course, they’re all my favorites.
Rooftops: Can’t read the writing on the wall but it looks like it’s somewhere in Germany. Lovely picture.
The burned book brought me immediately back to the library on Myst island.
I remember the War of the Colossal Beast especially well, because it came out the same year as Terror from the Year 5000. I was 7 years old, and that damn film had me scared of closets for a decade.
Well, I couldn’t resist. I started watching the “Honey Boo Boo” movie, and I couldn’t stop. I was mesmerized. Is that Mountain Dew that Moma’s pumping down her? If so, she’s getting huge doses of sugar and caffeine. It’s a free country, and I guess there will always be kiddy pageants; but boy, I want to puke. What will Alana look like when she gets to high school? And what is this “Show you belly to the judges” thing? What lessons is she learning?
Sorry for the rant, folks. I just had to get it out.
HI friends. Haven’t been around since I got laid off in September, just wondering if anyone else is not getting updates to FAX or if it’s on my end only?

After reading the blog, I have to ask if the acronym post means FA has a long long way to go?
