I think the federal government needs to come up with a better way to warn people. I think the new name should convey exactly what it's supposed to do. It would improve the existing system that the NWS uses, combined with other technologies. It would be named:

Office of
Homeland
Security
Hazardous
Incident
Terminology
Rapid
Uniform
Notification

In the spirit of the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. A.C.T.

Heheheheh.

That must've taken a while. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Of course the polititians would meantion that the O.H.S.H.I.T.R.U.N. staff where all Specially Highly Intensly Trained in the newly developed Complete Responce Action Program

funny....
true...
But... We've got little kids looking at this. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Yes ...Tthats why I toned mine down before posting it.

In the Lending Library there is a thread on the "How to Sh*t in the woods". Apparently kids these days can't figure out that if you have 3 consanants in English, you need at least 1 vowel. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If it's inappropriate, the thread should be deleted.

Now, that's one of the funnier acronyms I've heard for those apes. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

While I agree this is a "family" site and kid friendly. The acronym isn't that bad. While a lot of us (hopefullly) wouldn't use bad language in front of children, go to any school playground and you will hear much worse than what is posted here.

Originally, the U.S. considered another name for the TSA: it was supposed to be called the Federal Aviation Transportation And Security Service, but the acronym would have been embarassing. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Any little kid that can look at a list of "grown up" words and know to take the first letter of each and make a new set of words is more than old enough to be saying those words where you can't hear them. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes, down here the Ford Australia Racing Team did the same.

Stop Stop it hurts too much to laugh this hard. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Someone on fark.com came up with Federal Aviation Administration Security Service or the FAA SS to name the TSA.

In the spirit of those who really believe there is a vast consipiricy, perhapse Department of Homeland Security means something, perhaps:

Decreed
Emergency
Powers
Assisting in
Restructuring
Tried
Methods of
Enforcement into
New
Terrorist
Oppression by
Frivilous
Haphazard and
Outrageos
Methods of
Enforcement to
Lure
Average
iNdividuals to
Dispel
Suggestions of
Empire
Creation
Under
Regulations
Inextricable
To
You

oohhhhh....

I like, shiny
