Which one of these were you referring to when you said WOS?

[BenWH]

I reckon World of Sport

[kookoo]

I was thinking it must be Wolfson Ornithological Society.

(The terrible part is that I'm really not certain which it is. . .Walk of Shame?)

[Tybae]

I was thinking Wrath of the Obviously Sedated.  Everyone, look out!  Run!  They're crawling towards us at 1 kph! 

[kookoo]

They're crawling towards us at 1 kph!

Tybae, you traitor, your using the metric system.  How dare you!  Go out and buy a chevy right now!

[Tybae]

Yeah, I'm very unamerican sometimes.  Besides the metric system is easier to understand.  All based on multiples of 10.  None of that 12 inches = 1 foot, 3 feet = 1 yeard, 100 yards x 50 yards = 1 acre, 5280 feet = 1 mile.....too confusing.  Not only that, but I drink imported beer, I buy foreign cars, I avoid hamburgers and Football = Soccer!  HA!  So there!

Oh.  My.  God.  You did not.  .  .   

First of all, you do not have to be able to do all that silly math stuff to understand the Standard system all you need to understand is that it's called "Standard" and that should be enough for you and everyone else.  Metric sounds, like, French or something.  When it comes to soccer, you go right ahead and enjoy your 1-0 score while eating a silly little croissant.  And remember how much you like all of that foreign stuff the next time you're talking to tech support from India!

[kookoo]

   That was fun.  I thought that last line was really clever of me.  Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that I have a really bad habit of going waaayyy off topic every time I have the opportunity to say something funny.  I'm going to have to stop that somehow.

EDIT:  I did want to let everyone know that everything I said was only an attempt at humor, just in case.

[sixesthrice]

I take I'm the only one willing to place a reasonably metric bet on Sirchet's wife being a Warrior of Scandinavia?

*Goes back into lurk mode*

[sirchet]

Ha ha! You guys are tooooooooo funny 

WOS= wife over shoulder, which explains why I posted on how great she is.

Are there short dark haired women in Scandinavia, sixesthrice?

btw...She did just agree to me upgrading my 14 month old custom, built for me gaming pc, with a new, better, beefier, custom made for me, gaming pc, along with a 24 inch wide screen LCD monitor. I'm using it right now answering this post.   

So...I guess she is pretty great, even when she's not lurking over my shoulder.

I tried throwing my wife over my shoulder once.  I repeat ONCE.

Aha!  I'll have to remember that one.

"I don't like you anymore!"  He exclaims in a fit of envy.  

sigh.  .  .  not really, but I am jealous.  

I suppose it wouldn't have been good for WOS to have meant "Waste of Space" when talking about one's wife.
