done.

Whew. That was close.

Heh. You guys have nothing to worry about when it comes to that. Heck, that's what we were looking at on her laptop when I poked my nose into this thread. "Star" (my g/f's online name) is SO not worried about seeing porn. Actually, she and I.... wait... I better stop myself before I end up posting a GTKY blurb....

Oh.

She might be watching again! Quick, get the pr0n!

troplan n. "Nalport" backwards.

nalport n. an acronym for Neuromantic Automation Language PORT, a port created by the live human/hardware interfacing protocols scheduled for declassification in 2007.

Used backwards as a verb to indicate breaking OUT of a system, usually to make use of massive amounts of unauthorized bandwidth. As in, "He troplanned full throttle onto a pair of SBC T3s and hasn't been on the WGB since."

whoa. creative.

troplan

a stimulus or stimulii that has no apparent purpose whatsoever, other than contributing to a single organism's evolutionary path. a troplan occurs naturally and spontaneously, and is not a resultant or byproduct of other events or conditions and only exist for a short time after influencing the organism. they are generally irreproducable in a laboratory, thus making them nearly impossible to identify. not to be confused with mutation, a common effect of troplanism.

from tropism + plan.

troplan (n): An unusual atmospheric condition which occurs when a temperature inversion forms across the tropopause in conjunction with rapid cloud formation. This results in weather occurring at much higher altitudes than normally possible, and, if storm clouds are formed, can cause rain or even lightning to fall from what otherwise appear to be clear skies.

troplan: An anomaly in the continuum caused by an increase in funding from Bulgarian sources to French interlopers trading in the Americas below the Tropic of Cancer. The increase in French influence effectively violated the 1559 Treaty of Cateau Cambrésis and developed a dimension in which, among other nonoccurrences, the Spanish settlement of St. Augustine does not develop and the Americas (Troplan) are entirely French speaking.
