lol..I had no idea PC Load Letter was an actual term, just thought it was a made-up error message for the movie.

Does anyone else have a crush on Michael Bolton in Office Space ("why should I change my name? He's the one who sucks!")

Funny funny movie!

Nah, not really. He looks like Rick Moranis.

Oh, and I like women.

Speaking of him though, I think my favorite part of the movie is when he's blaring the rap music in his car until the brothas pull up next to him and he rolls up his window.

He so does NOT look like Rick Moranis.

Office Space dude is a hawt sexy geeky nerd. Rick is a nawt-hawt geeky turd. Difference.

Ya' know, I never understood why anyone would write "ya' know." For one thing, "ya" is not a word; for another...the apostrophe to connote that the word is shortened in deference to a colloquialism is incorrect in this case...unless the word is actually "yar."

Buh-bye, buy bonds.

Oh, and I forgot to ask you to bite me, draxxy-waxxy-maxi-sweetums-pie. Get the fuck out of my thread, YA FREEEK UV NAYCHER!

Ah, so THIS is where the drama went down. Well *I* still think leetspeak is funny. But then again, I'm from Iowa, and according to South Park, we're two years behind everyone else.

But for the record, I wouldn't include "hawt" in the l33t lexicon, that's more like a junior high kind of "zomga, he's sooo hawt! freal!" thing. Speaking of, I heart you Shawnee.

I no it weren't l33t. Half the females in here have said hawt at one time or another. He's just a little instigator.

But I fart you too.
