Dear world,

[lyssie]

"above and beyond" is NOT, I repeat, NOT A SENTENCE.

Stop using it as one.

Above and beyond fucking WHAT?!

Morons.

khnxbai

In other news, Timey tortured me horribly on the drive back with music that simply inspired angst. Now if I could, uh.... have the next three weeks off to write it all down.

Oh well. I'll... make do with writing it at work.

I wrote porn at work today. You should all be SO proud. Not good porn, either. Hrm.

I have chocolate.

... as in "Space: Above and Beyond"? Because then I think it means it's above and beyond space.

Which makes no sense. What the hell?

Eh, I never watched that show anyway.

Above and beyond the call of duty, perhaps?

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Because then I was thinking maybe it really *was* above and beyond space, because didn't they have some sort of foldy-space-hyperdrive type engines in that show?

Yep. I saw half of the pilot eight years ago and this makes me an expert.

*snicker*

And, erm, it was the whole "for we are Army Types and go above and beyond the call of duty, yo" thing. iirc.

Y'know, I think I have the first episode on tape, somewhere...

Okay, I'll bite. This has been driving me nuts for months and no one I ask seems to know.

What's iirc stand for?

If I Recall Correctly

Thanks, doll!

That... clears up a lot.

*hugs you for asking the question*

That's been bugging me for like EIGHT YEARS.

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA...

The real question is, have you *used* it in that 8 years without knowing?

*hugs you*

[abates.livejournal.com]

You've seen half a pilot more than me then. :)

My suggestion was more concerning Lyssie's post, I guess.

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Yessss... that makes sense, now. But, um, my answer was more random.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Well, there is that. But, no. I assume they mean Above and beyond the call of duty. But, y'know, it'd be NICE if they actually said that.

*mutters* Stupid Americans.
