Most say pizza

In college I had a roommate from Germany who pronounced "pizza" this way. After a few months it rubbed off on me and I started saying it!

We would go to a crowded place and most would say, "There are a lot of people here." He would say, "There are people all and everywhere." That one rubbed off on me as well and I still use it.

Good ol' Nils corrupted my english in ways I am still trying to correct.

Ah, good ol' Gwen. I saw No Doubt play at a dive bar when I was in college. It was before they hit it big. I was drunk and I kept trying to cop a peak up Gwen's catholic school-girl skirt she was wearing. When I finally did, I was disappointed to see she had on biking shorts underneath.

While the night remains hazy, I must have filled out a mailing list because the band started sending me all kinds of stuff --concert dates, album and t-shirt info, etc.

When "I'm Just a Girl" broke on MTV, I was like, "Hey! I know those guys! They send me mail!" I wish I had saved some of it.

It's like this; get onto any Unreal or Half-Life server, and you will run into what I call "game-slang". Some basic translations are this:

5 = S
3 = E
7 = T
0 = O
4 = A

and so on. Sometimes vowels will be left out altogether. It changes quite quickly. So my statement was:

Check out my elite skills, yo!

I call it nerdbonics.

Gwen sure looks different now..

Much better IMHO. She went from geeky to hot. Gavin Rossdale is one lucky dude.

Plus, I gotta give Gwen mad props for doing her part to popularize the "low-cut hip-huggers with exposed thong underwear" look that has become fashionable these day.
