Twice daily (on workdays) I pass "T.D. Used Tire & Battery".

I think of Povvins near-daily. Our standard abbreviation for a patient's post-operative visit is POV. "How many POVs do we have today?" I'll ask.

One of the various facets included in my job is coordinating the shipment of material to customers' job sites. Whenever they place an order it is for a "Semi" load.

Aw, Lashie.

I think of Beagz whenever I see someone walking their dog.

NOT because the dog's relieving itself!

But because I'm a frequent recipient (and beneficiary! ) of calls from The Beagster while he's out walking Wes.

I think of Teeds whenever I get a banner ad for TD Waterhouse, also.

And of COURSE, I think of Cobie when I drive through UConn... especially the sheep barn...

Well, the other day I heard a commercial with Gwen Stefani’s voice, and I immediately thought of Lash.

I download directions off mapquest all the time at work and go on meetings, and the second I get close to being lost, I think of Pov

There’s actually loads of stuff that remind of LWers. All of the sayings that I incorporate into my daily routine, from “Jeepers” to “Groovy” remind me of people here, and I’ve been using a saying that I heard from Quis (I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy) for a few months now.

Hey, Quis-- "Right THIS way!"

That took me a minute. (and technically it was "Left this way")

Gee now everyone will want to know the story that goes along with that saying.

That's right... I mean, "left THIS way"... Whudevah, it was funny as hell!

Hey! That's one of MY lines, too! Now I can think of Quis when I say it.

My place of employment is changing to a new building and down the street is a shop called "Thrifty Boutique". Now I'll be reminded of Teeds every morning!

Oh! I just remembered, there's a big white box truck that drives by on the street outside my office a few times each week that has a big PCG on the side as part of their logo.
I think of the Primary Color Gang every time I see it...which makes me think abourt LW...which usually makes me boot it up and I wind up reading a bunch of posts and I don't get anything done

It's some sort of language setting for the keyboard and I haven't got a clue how to use it.
 

---

Posted by Lightning Lad on :
 
You have to have a 10-key on your keyboard to do it (most laptops don't have a built in 10-key).

While holding down the ALT key type in 164 on the 10-key. When you release the ALT after typing 164 you'll have ñ.
 

---

Posted by Greybird on :
 
You can also use the Character Map applet, which in most versions of Windows is installed under the Accessories part of the Start Menu.

Click on the lesser-used character you want, which will display the ALT + 0000 code to generate it -- or you can tell it to copy said character to the Clipboard, where you can then paste (CTRL + V) it into your browser or editor.

I forgot to mention back in those days there was a ubiquitous dry cleaning chain called Kem Cleaners all around the Albany area.

I've since noted in Troy, NY, the Bizarro Funeral Home (I kid you not). There's a Green Lantern motel in Colonie, NY.

the film-talk abbreviation for Point Of View always makes me tihnk of the Pantless One.

Any penguin reminds me of Rocky, of course.

I was walking in Chester (or Chestuh, the summer playground of wealthy Yank sailors) and saw a garden bed full of pink cleomes.

Also, I was listening to a podcast story (Errata by Jeff VanderMeer) in which one of the characters was a rockhopper penguin named Julia, escaped from a circus.

I started posting on LW before I had ever seen an episode of "Family Guy," so now, everytime there is an episode with that creepy old man that is used as an avatar here, all I can think is, "Hey, it's legionJ.O.H.N.!"

Over Christmas, one of the gifts I got was a newsboy/cabbie hat made by "Totes"... and everytime I see that label I think of the slang for "totally" that I've never seen anyone other than Lash use.

You know that "Target" commercial where that guy sings that cheesy song about "Denim"? In the background is a shirt with the Julius the Monkey face that completely makes me think of Monkey-Eater Lad.

There are two black cats who live in the same house, about thirty blocks from my place. When I'm out riding my bike and see them lounging side by side on their front porch, I naturally think of deddy and his dual overhead black beasties.

This song always makes me think of He Who Wanders (LSHes) because he posted a link to the video and made such eloquant points when Mr. Fogelberg passed.

Thanks, Jerry. "Language of Love" remains one of my two favorite Fogelberg songs (the other being "Phoenix").

Confuse her by asking if she's ever considered spelling her name Eryka.

And ask how her fragile psyche is.

So this pop ditty has been playing in my workplace for days now. Maybe it's been playing in yours, too... if the staff likes "Alternative" stations.

I can't be the only one who keeps hearing the first line in the chorus as:

"All the Yellow Kids..."

Can I?

I've been playing Ralph Vaughn Williams CDs all day, and Rocky told me (probably) the first week I was here that he's a big fan, too.

OK, this one doesn't make me think of any specific Legion Worlder, but does initiate a chain of thoughts that eventually makes me think of LW in general:


The word, "supersede".


A loooooooooong time ago, I read one of the Superboy backup stories that ran during the Legion's Adventure run. In this particular story, young Clark has to pretend to be a bit of a dunce in order to infiltrate and break up a school cheating ring.

One of the examples used to show his ostensible "thickness" was the fact that he couldn't identify spelling errors that the teacher wrote on the board - one of which was "supercede" instead of "supersede". I remember Lana Lang condescendingly saying, "Can't you see the error, Clark?"

The fact of the matter, though, was that I couldn't see the error, either. It made young Ex run off to the dictionary to look it up, and remember the correct spelling from that day forward.

So now - everytime I write "supersede" in a work e-mail... I think of that story... which makes me think of the Legion... which makes me think of Legion World.


(Note: a quick google search reveals to me now that not only is "supercede" an acceptable variant but, in fact, seems more frequently used than "supersede," anyway. In your face, Lana Lang!)

Superboy was totally thinking about Lana and his 'super-seed.'

High school is totally wasted on teenage boys. They're only thinking about one thing.

Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
"Supersede" reminds me of the song "I Before E" from A Boy Named Charlie Brown, which contains the line "Only one word in the language ends in S-E-D-E: Supersede." Anything Peanuts related reminds of my Peanuts Pal, Fanfie.
