pWned? Given the earliness of the morning, I assume that is a typo, LOL, but if it isn't, what does it mean?
On another topic, thanks to YOU for all the time and effort you put into keeping us all updated with the blogging world in such fine fashion!
Yeah, not lookin to good for the Pens.
Oh well, theres always next year, I guess.
It is an internet meme for Owned –
1. pwned
A corruption of the word “Owned.” This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled “owned.” When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so “has been owned.”
Instead, it said, so-and-so “has been pwned.”
It basically means “to own” or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
“Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned.”
OR
“That team totally pwned us.”
Hope that explains it. – All I did was type pwned into google. Got a who page of it.
So I guess I pwned you.
Oops – got a whole page of it not who page of it. I guess I pwned myself.
@inkeupfatboy~thanks-I don't think we oldtimers will ever be able to keep up with the modern technology. I never even though of trying google.
hahaha – no problem – I am getting to be an old timer my self. It is all I can do to tread water. I remember being ahead of the curve 15 years ago with my 2400 baud modem and now I can't even see the curve.
