"e" ? Oh - you just reminded me. You must go to this site: http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect Enter a dialect -- try "pig latin" or "redneck" and enter the URL for any website. Try www.cnn.com, for instance. It's a hoot! Try "redneck" at www.eonline.com -- E! uses a lot of exclamation points, and, in "redneck," every time you have an exclamation point, it says "Fry mah hide!" I don't have a clue in hell what that means down south, but it kills me to see it under a photo of, for instance, Leonardo DiCaprio. - -- Melissa "that durn varmit" Jordan ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 04 Dec 1998 00:46:40 -0500 From: MacSuirtain Subject: Re: Alloy:fun at e-bay Dave -- How is your entry labeled? Inquiring minds want to know! I went to "paintings" and found a zillion entries (including some really freaky religious art - I'm intrigued.) Strangely, in perusing this section, I found two paintings by someone I knew in college (Chank Diesel, who has become a font god - see www.chank.com -- he's responsible for many fonts you see used in national ad campaigns like the Taco Bell dog ads, etc.) Turns out he has to sell some of his paintings because the student loan people found him. Bummer. Anyway, I'd love to see your entry. Cheers, Melissa, drove off the road once gawking at an oil-on-velvet painting of old, fat Elvis in a jumpsuit and crown of thorns, bleeding on a cross ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Dec 1998 21:47:30 -0800 (PST) From: Elaine Linstruth Subject: Re: Alloy: Fun with Stupid American Dialects Heh, that reminds me of the old Jive editor for Unix.
