I quickly made e-mail contact with anybody I could find an "address" on and joined several mailing lists. I used search engines to locate folks' e-mail addresses and sent out tons of prattle about almost everything.

I soon discovered that folks who never answered my letters would snap off an e-mail reply to my electronic correspondence as soon as they received it. I was elated!

I also noticed that e-mailers used plenty of symbols and acronyms, mostly obvious. But one day, when I tried to do the same, I was red-faced to discover I didn't know as much as I thought I did!

I thought it must mean Lots Of Love!

But LOL means Laugh Out Loud!

Forget the haughty museums on our Poetry & Art page, go have some real fun at a museum for the culturally disabled: The Museum of Dirt
