Greetings all, last week I read a thread in the wire wrapping section that has prompted me to start a new competition. I was reading akansan's post called "recent wraps" and along the way, plain english was transformed into this type of jibberish.... The BO is 24G SS HH SQUARE W/ 24G SS HH HR, or something like that. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to start a competition using abbreviations. The first person that can translate my jibberish paragraph back into english, wins 2 freeform cabs. Hooba Jasper  and Bronzite  TIAE (TIAE=This is an example) of what you will BUA, (BUA=be up against). So everyone, UYI (UYI=use your imagination). IGP= (Internet game players) and WW (WW=wire wrappers) will have a small advantage since they SJF (SJF=speak jibberish fluently). OK This is the paragraph you have to translate..... Since I became a member of the RTH it seems like I have VLT for anything else. people on the board are VF and offer a WOK to anyone willing to ask questions. JLW I learned what SS, DS, HH, FH and HR mean. Akansan WNE to explain it to me. This year I plan to LEMAR that I'm not familiar with. I'm not ARS but that could change if I were to join a RSB with the same enthusiasm I have for the RTH. YNK, STHH. So, to all of those RTH members with questions that NA, ITF it would be wise to post them on the board. Who knows, WAMLS. Well, TFP, GLTA and most importantly, HF. TTYS, DD PS.This might be an EW, but be prepared....because MAOTW. OK, goodluck everyone!! |

Since I became a member of the RTH it seems like I have VLT (very little time) for anything else. people on the board are VF (very friendly) and offer a WOK (wealth of knowledge) to anyone willing to ask questions. JLW (just last week) I learned what SS (sterling silver), DS (dead soft), HH(half-hard), FH (full hard) and HR (half-round) mean. Akansan WNE (was nice enought) to explain it to me. This year I plan to LEMAR (learn every mineral and rock) that I'm not familiar with. I'm not ARS (a rock scientist) but that could change if I were to join a RSB (rock science board) with the same enthusiasm I have for the RTH (rock tumbling hobby) . YNK (you never know), STHH (stranger things have happened). So, to all of those RTH members with questions that NA (never asked), ITF (I think finally) it would be wise to post them on the board. Who knows, WAMLS. (we all may learn something)
Well, TFP (thanks for playing), GLTA (good luck to all) and most importantly, HF (have fun).
TTYS (talk to you soon),
DD
PS (post script) .This might be an EW (early warningeasy win) , but be prepared....because MAOTW (my answers only, to win).
OK [Ola Kala (Greek: Everything's fine; an origin for the word Okay], goodluck everyone!!

Oh and 1 more thing, no hints will be given, the only other post from me on this thread will be to announce the winner. Each person can try as many times as they want to translate the paragraph. Thanks.
