What does that mean, anyway? You can't just repeat parts of initialisms and acronyms and expect them to maintain any meaning. That's not how you add emphasis (or any other semantic meaning) in the English language.

You'll laugh even harder if you imagine Caesar's post being stated in the best Monty Python and the Holy Grail voice...

I know it's asking a lot, but the phrases could be considered near the ranks of the stuned beeber...

"The USASASA is protected by a network of RADARARARs."
"I went SCUBABABA diving. "
"I will use my laserererer pointer."
"Look at my shiny new DVDVDVDVD."

And Caesar, this is all meant in good fun.
IMHHHHO, you hit a homer;)

But what I want to know is: do we have an acronym for a visit from the Ministry of Funny Walks?
