Two Important Questions

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Provided everything goes to plan I should be back to uni soon.

I'd love to go back. I'm 3 inches away from being a junior. The problem that happened for me was that my last semester was just before the economy tanked completely and Dr. S gave me the boot. Then I had to accept both hours and pay cuts for my current position, and of course that was a shitty time to find a new job anyway.

Truth be told, I really enjoyed working for Dr. S, and not just because it was good pay. Out of all the jobs I worked, that one was my favorite so far, demanding as it was.

Someone mentioned blackironprison.com but that seems to be down. 

Aww fuck!  I'll have to see if I can track down Syn and see what's up.  The site was working not too long ago.

One moar question: What's a spag?  I tried to figure it out from context but you seem to use it to refer to a lot of things. I even poked around in google a bit but the definition still eludes me.

It's an offensive term we use to make fun of people with Italian heritage.

Spag (n)

1) Spelling Punctuation And Grammar - A spag can mean someone who types in all lower case, uses the non-word "moar" in a non-satirical manner, or in some other way offends people who have a command of written English.

2) A jackass, usually - but not always - meant in a friendly, jibing manner.

3) Twid.

From the usage I've seen around here, it's nearly identical to the Chan use of the word "fag," without the cultural baggage.

I think Cram coined it... it is meant to be a meaningless word that sounds potentially offensive, yet isn't, used to refer to people. Like "What are you spags up to?" Or "What a bunch of spags!" or "What time are the spags getting together?" or "Fuck off, you spag!"

Delightfully, it always makes me think of Jim Spagg:

I can't believe nobody's done this yet:

I just learned from Alton Brown that Spaghetti Bolognaise is referred to in rhyming slang as "spagBol". Any brits back that up?

When I was in HS on Long Island, kids used the word "sped" as a derrogatory term for retard becaue it was a portmantau of SPecial EDucation. Special ed. Sped.

I kind of always believed "Spag" was a portmantau of that and "Fag."
Sped + Fag = Retarded Fag. Spag.

Yeah I do hope it comes back up. It's where we keep loads of our stuff!

But then, it's been offline occasionally before.

If you talk to Syn, ask him if he's still okay with hosting that Wiki, cause, well, I really don't want to lose all the content we have there. It's one of the very few places that contains curated PD content (still a tiny fraction of all the awesome that can be dug up in our archives, but still).

(I don't even know if I have a DB backup--I'll make a point of getting one in the futare)
