[ll] = Pause For The Cause…

pause

A couple of months ago El Gringo Colombiano mentioned a breakthrough innovation he developed for internets communication. He noticed and understood the need for the refrain “No Homo” after certain phrases were typed in a drop or it’s subsequent discussion thread. What EGC then created was a simple symbol for expressing this sentiment. At first I was skeptical of the practical use of this graphic description. I need to give EGC his props though for submitting a compelling and well thought out argument for the implementation of [ll].

First, here are some of the phrases that one might use after saying something that might be misconstrued as gay…

  • No homo
  • No brokeback
  • No Sheryl Swoopes
  • No Greg Louganis
  • No Luther Vandross’ curl activator kit
  • Nullus
  • Pause
  • Of all the phrases listed above nullus had risen to prominence solely from the ubiquity of the website ByronCrawford Dot Com. While nullus is an effective word for its use of maybe Latin and its brevity, the word pause has recently replaced it on the internets and in current colloquial usage. The advantage of pause over nullus is that when uttering the word pause we use only one syllable. This conserves breathing which in turn reduces our carbon dioxide emissions which ultimately saves the planet from the greenhouse effect. EGC is more deserving of a Nobel prize than the long-winded, greenhouse gas inducing AL GORE. Lucky for GORE he created the internets.

    The second point of this innovation is the benefit to internets users for applying the [ll] glyph to your statements is that [ll] requires even less strokes than the word pause [ll]. Keystrokes, as it were. [ll] so closely resembles the pause tab on many media players it should be heretofore universally accepted as the standard for expressing one’s non homo-osity. The use of [ll] allows writers and commenters to express their support for same sex civil unions [ll], the all gay Olympic games [ll], and the total enjoyment of KanYe West’s latest album ‘Graduation’ [ll].

    It’s forward thinking like this that has made the internets the bastion for new millenium neo-intellectualism and it’s my dream that man can one day return to his artistic zenith where images and glyphs spoke volumes about his aspirations and desires. Language is too divisive and cumbersome. Emoticons and acronyms are the cave paintings of the future.

      http://elgringocolombiano.blogspot.com/2007/08/nohomology.html

      If yall have BLOGS THAT US [||], PLS LEAVE A COMMENT ON THAT DROP. I plan to do a drop to shout out all the [||] evangelizers that are propagating [||] all over the internets.

      Dallas, big props for your evangelization of [||]. It’s as if I wrote a good story for a small town newspaper, but since the New York Times of this rap blog arena DallasPenn.com has picked the story up, the word has really spread.

      Big shout out to Dallas, Belize, & I Fux, that have been like the Matthew, Luke, & John apostles spreading the gospel of [||]. Yall are real thorough dudes [||]. Extreme no blasphemy just in case on this aforementioned analogy, especially it being Sunday.

      Gringo,
      Don’t feel yourself too hard now[ll]. Revolution is ultimately a waste of time since all you do is revolve and end up in the same place. Better for you to aim for evolution and take a step up to the next level.
