Are you actually asking about 1337 speak in this day & age?

heh...what do you even know about anything? Still cop in training?

You really need to be more clever or start living in the present if you're going to try to insult me. I've been a sworn officer for almost a year. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take a bare-chested picture of myself and post it on the internet.


Oh wait, you> me.

fixed....so what do you know about anything other than being mr. pessimist? Oh wait, North Dakota.

Yes, I live in North Dakota. If that's the best you can do you then all I can say to you is good luck in next year's Special Olympics.

It's all in good fun when you mock his shortcomings. But as soon as I step in and defend him and then make a comment on "1337" you take great offense to it and that makes ME the a**hole.

I love how things work here!

that was a defense?

however, this type of 'sp33k' started when I was a kid online back in the 80's.

There are those that try hard now to use it everywhere, and those that reminisce in it having fun.

Well now ... I've never known what 1337 meant until today. I've not been inclined to ask anyone either, since the context I found it in was not interesting.

Now through the power of AT I get the answer at the click of a mouse. So it's "leet speak". This reminds me of "allreeet" from the 1920's movies "jive talk".

I hope that everyone also realizes that now that I know what this is, it will never be used again by anyone.

Never pass up the chance for a laugh, or you'll always be behind by one.

This really isn't working for you, is it?

Right now I'm splitting my time between the Community Service Bureau (community policing stuff) and patrol. I get a little of everything on patrol.
