Acrimonious Acronyms


It's another day in the Blogosphere. That smell of burning wood is not from a forest fire. It's not the embers from incense. It's not pot. It's not even Pinnochio trying to mate with the knot hole in a picket fence! ....It's the stinking thinking of Writer's Block!

Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51;
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo;
So don't tell me ...I've nothing to do.
-Statler Brothers

Kind of sounds like Blogging, doesn't it? The Adidas picture above and its contrived acronym can be blamed for tonight's FUBAR* post. Any problems posting, however, can be summed up with the acronym PICNIC - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer. While on the subject of computers, FYI did know WINDOWS = Will Install Needless Data On Whole System?

....Here's a few fun ones:

CRAFT = Can't Remember A F**king Thing
PhD = Permanent Head Damage
MARLBORO = Men Always Remember Ladies Because Of Romantic Offers
LADDER = Longitudinal And Directional Distance Extremity Reacher
FART = Fecal Air Rectally Transmitted

My favorite ones are those that poke fun at the Auto Industry:

BMW - Big Money Waste
BUICK - Big Ugly Indestructible Compact Killer
CHEVROLET - Can Hear Every Valve Rattle On Long Extended Trips
CHEVY - Cheapest Heap Ever Visioned Yet
DODGE - Drips Oil Drops Grease Everywhere
FIAT - Fix It Again Tomorrow
FORD - Found On Road Dead
GM - Grinding Metal
GMC - Gotta Mechanic Coming
HONDA - Hold On, Not Done Accelerating
JEEP - Just Enough Engine Power
KIA - Killed In Action
MAZDA - Made At Zoo by Demented Apes
MG - Mostly Garaged
OLDSMOBILE - Old Ladies Driving Slowly Making Others Behind Increasingly Late Everyday
PINTO - Powerful Incendiary, Neatly Toasts Occupants
PLYMOUTH - Please Let Your Mother Out from Under The Hood
PONTIAC - Poor Old Nebraskan, Thinks It's A Cadillac
PORSCHE - Piece Of Rusty Scrap, Cost Highly Expensive
SUBARU - Still Usable But All Rusty Underneath
TOYOTA - The One You Ought To Avoid
VW - Virtually Worthless

*FUBAR - F**ked Up Beyond All Reason

Most of the above acronyms came from Business Balls.

always referred to my ford as a fix or repair daily

if you need wallpaper to stimulate thoughts, i saved swatches from my house when we peeled it all simply because it was all so truly hideous in a very 'brady' way. i could scan and send examples of the grotesque former decor if it would help.
