so i read one of your entries from a longgg time ago and posted, but i doubt people will be checking back on that one. so ill post my question here.
researching on "Red Bull," I came across your site and i was wondering if you had any info on it. by info i mean, im 17, almost 18, im 5 feet, weigh 100lbs. i know not to be stupid about it and drink 5 cans, but to drink a can everyday...do you think thats ok? that's minusing any sports and such things.
if anyone else would like to comment on this, it would be awesome.

Last acronym I even thought about is from the movie Team America: World Police.
Film Actor's Guild.
You absolutely must see that movie.

As a former nurse, and later a government employee, I am well versed in acronyms. They don't even phase me at all anymore. My first semester in nursing school though, I really thought I was gonna go insane trying to figure out what was going on. I spent more money on tylenol that semester than any other.

The Red Bull thing above? WTF?? who cares? Is Jimbo supposed to offer medical advice about Red Bull? Kid, can't you see Jimbo is having a pre-mid-life crisis right now? Unless you have turned 18 and are offering some hot sex to the guy - let him be. :)LOL

oh, i don't mind that she found something i wrote in a google search. by all means. comment.
though it is easier to just click the "email" button when the post is about 18 months out of date.

for the record, the count ended at 268 acronyms. just in case you were wondering.
Posted by: the mighty jimbo | October 21, 2004 05:33 PM
I don't know what is more sad, the fact that you could remember all of those acronyms, or the fact that I know what 98% of them stand for.

Hi Jimmy. I don't know what any of those acronyms are. But I remember you and Sean complained about it last time.
Tried to send you a pic of Summer and Holden. Your email is full. So too bad for you.
Have fun on the last day there.

WTF? No PMP, PMMM, CMM, CRM, ERP/MRP, JIT, DFSS, EBITDA?
Heh. Hang in there, Jimbo. Take an IB with H20 until you can get to the THC.

Oh, the acronyms. We can never escape! WCNE!
