There comes a point in every man's life when he realizes that he needs to make a mark on the world, and that he has precious little time to do so.

All, I think that time for me is now. At least, that's the thought that came to me in the shower this morning. But I do my best thinking in the shower, so here goes!

My mark on this world and this community specifically is this: a new slang term!

I propose that we refer to that non-Front Page site (aka "BP") as simply "the gas station."

Sure it's 11 letters longer than the current 2-letter acronym, but it has so much more to offer. For example, very utterance automatically conveys contempt.

And it even communicates the appropriate tone to those not yet acquainted with the term. Observe:

"Dude! I saw an outta this world little hottie on the gas station last night! I gotta get me some of that!"

"Um, WTF are you doing trying to pick up chicks at a gas station?"

"No, at *the* gas station!"

"Gas stations are ghetto, man. That's disgusting."

Happy Thursday!

(My apologies if anyone here actually works at a gas station.)
