Day, my crawfish pawns all the other ones that the other kids made.
I laughed my ass off... he is growing into such a great little nerd, and he makes me sooo proud!

can we say:

All aboard the Failboat?
Choo choo...

indeed.

oh the ironing. it's delicious

Also, where did he pick up said language. I would watch out that he isn't getting involved with gaia or 4chan.

I dont know where he picked up such a word, I am not into the leet, or 1337 or whatever it is called he started middle school this year and he is in with an older crowd now.
I cant understand why you guys bash kids that speak like this so much when you guys all seem to be so well versed in the language, is it a phase that you all went thru in life? I musta missed that phase.
I just thought that it was a bit funny that he said that word... i mean christ, no need to bash me, my son or this thread for it.

You can't quote your own delicious ironing. That's for the rest of us to laugh at you about.

To OP - Ignore the bashers. I think your story is pretty funny.

Leet is the new cool lingo. Just like growing up speaking gangsta.

Jedi says all aboard the failboat, calling for a choo choo which is clearly a fail in itself since choo choo's are expressly reserved for trains and not boats.

uhohs calls him out on this.

Jedi then proceeds to talk about how delicious that irony is.

I then point out that he has lost that right and it is the distinct right and duty of ATOT to point out how much fail his post has.

It's a joke. Calm down.

Maybe he meant that his crawfish "prawns" and has a speech impediment. And maybe he's not that good at wordplay either, because a prawn is a type of shrimp that is not very closely related to crawfish at all.

No.
If your son is going to grow up to be a loser, at least don't let him fail at failure.
This coming from someone who says "pones".

Actually, it is pronounced "pones". Where the hell were you in Leet 101?

I don't anticipate OP returning to this thread.
Also, it is most definitely 'poned'

EDIT: Misspelled "your" :(

=! pones
=! poons (yes, like vajayjay poon, I've heard people SAY that)
=! pawned

IT'S PRONOUNCED OWNED.

In other news, two hot chix walked by the other day and said "epic fail" in a conversation. After joining in, I noticed their conversation was made entirely of epic fail. :brokenheart:

Tell you're son that 1337 speak is dead and everybody hates him for saying "pawns". Then leave him with an absent father figure role...

When I first read it I saw "prawns" instead of "pawns" and I thought it was a witty crustacean/leet language joke. Not the case. Meh.
