What's in a name?

I was in a bar last night sipping away on a Gin and Tonic, as you do, and I started chuckling to myself. My friends asked me what I wanted to drink and one suggested a "G and T" (short for Gin and Tonic...) and I just had to laugh because the first thing that popped into my head was GT = Gossamer Threads. And I was just puzzling to myself that if the name Gossamer Threads had been 'concieved' after a few G and T's and it was really an anactode for Gin and Tonic.

Anyway, that's the end of my ramblings. Here's to another one. :-)

You saying something? Have you read some of the comments I put in my Perl/PHP scripts lately? LOL

# this is in case they decide to try and be clever, and put stupid charachters into their name.

# if we want to do a backup to a remote server, then lets do this... I mean, how many people *wouldn't* want to do this? Its one of the main reasons for this plugin :p

# got rid of the previous parsing rubbish, and replaced it with these 4 lines of lovely code :)

Laugh

Maybe I should get out more too :p

The number of posts you make, and the fact you usually answer a PM in about 5 minutes, is my real clue ;)
