I got a chuckle out of this:
http://www.timetotalk.org/Downloads/...me_to_text.pdf
The parents' guide to texting. So that you can talk to your kids about drugs. Over text messages.
As your teen prepares to go back to school, show them how much you care, and let them know you’re here to help them handle stress in a healthy way. Talk to your teens in their language. Take Time to Text.
The Lingo
Teen text lingo is its own language—one with no punctuation and lots of abbreviations! When you text your teen, it helps to show you know the ropes.
When my mom tries to tell me she left a bag of stuff in her locker for me, it ends up coming out as this (actual text):
F you too, Mom. F you too.

I think Family Guy lampooned false hipness perfectly with their abstinence program skit.

Of course you'd make a Family Guy reference.

I think all males under the age of 25* should be shot. Except that dude who plays Dewey in Malcolm In The Middle. He can be a mascot or something.
* and if that includes anyone here, well, it's not my bleedin' fault you're not quick enough at this ageing lark, is it?

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

No, parents, do not do this.
Unless of course it is to ridicule and humiliate them. Then it's OK.

Good thing I turned 25 today.
Anyways, I abhor texting with a passion. Either call me, yell at me from across the room or STFU.

That would be a combination of joy and hatred for me.
Kind of like the communications equivalent of a Sour Patch Kid.

Edit: And to osiris, too! Mine (and d4nth3m4n’s) is on Thursday, so I’m close enough for regular awesomeness, too.

As long as you don’t include 25-year-olds in “all males under the age of 25”, I’m all right.
If you do, well, then I guess I’d better start getting that will written out.

I have no idea how, but my mind just twisted that into an obscure comment about a man named September's sexual constitution.
I need sleep.

I presume you must have noticed the tell-tale red-white flag below the post and naturally assumed the post most contain some of clever sexual innuendo-pun.

Under the age of 25. So all those pansy 24 year olds. Not us properly developed blokes.
Happy birthday to everyone!
