Do you realize that the World Wildlife Fund and the World Wrestling
Federation both share the initials WWF?

That's nothing.  The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, the ASPCA, shares the same initials with Aardvarks
Slowing Perusing Charlie's Almanac.

Who cares?

#4 of 65 by remmers on Mon Jun 21 16:26:36 1993:

That's not as bad as Christian Bjorn Arnesen and Corrupted Breath
Analyzer sharing the initials C.B.A.

#5 of 65 by danr on Mon Jun 21 23:43:32 1993:

Here's another news flash.  I've just determined that the
National Wrestling Alliance and the National Wifle Association
also share the same initials.

  better yet, the World Wrestling Federation and the World Wildlife
Fund??

#7 of 65 by remmers on Tue Jun 22 05:49:53 1993:

National Wifle Association -- they hunt wabbits.  Elmer Fudd is a
charter member.

Re #6:  That was the orignal pair on this item.  You really should pay more 
attention.

#9 of 65 by aa8ij on Wed Jun 23 03:39:02 1993:

pffffft.

Here a couple more, my initials (P.W. for Peter Woodman) are the same as Pee
Wee!
 Here's another, If you rearrange the letters Santa, you can get Satan! Wierd 
Coincidence?  If say thee nay!

#11 of 65 by vidar on Sun Jul 4 22:16:15 1993:

Actually Pee Wee's Intials are P.W.H.

#12 of 65 by embu on Sun Jul 4 22:40:28 1993:

My parents decided to give me a name that ended up with the initials E.E.K.B.,
a fact that I was throughly charmed with when I was younger...

#13 of 65 by rcurl on Mon Jul 5 05:15:42 1993:

But now that you're older?

#14 of 65 by embu on Mon Jul 5 16:54:43 1993:

It doesn't bother me too much, but I'm just wary of catching the nickanme
[nickname] EEK.

#15 of 65 by skeez on Sun Jul 11 14:18:44 1993:

Wow...What stimulating conversations.

#16 of 65 by rcurl on Sun Jul 11 21:07:48 1993:

OK, improve on it.

#17 of 65 by danr on Sun Jul 11 21:44:14 1993:

Hmmm.  sky r. wodman's initials are exactly the same as steven r. weiss's
initials.  I ask you, is this simply a coincidence??

#18 of 65 by aahz on Mon Jul 12 18:43:19 1993:

Here's a good one Oral Roberts has the same initals as Operating room!

#19 of 65 by vidar on Sun Jul 25 02:00:29 1993:

Execute Him!

#20 of 65 by skeez on Tue Aug 3 01:46:41 1993:

No. We're Double Agents. (Secret Service-FBI-OSI-CIA-KGB-type stuff)

  Embu was telling me a month ago that she was going to a Science and
Mathematics, or S & M, camp.

#22 of 65 by skeez on Tue Aug 10 02:14:09 1993:

Oh. What's that doing in enigma? (Just wonderin')

#23 of 65 by embu on Tue Aug 24 02:35:33 1993:

don't exactly know why enigma, but fits in with strange initials...They 
apparently had a shirt printed last year with "S & M Camp" printed on it,
but too many parents objected and the changed it for this year...<embu
sighs in disappointment..;)>

#24 of 65 by skeez on Tue Aug 24 15:36:54 1993:

hee.

#25 of 65 by scg on Thu Aug 26 05:01:40 1993:

   I just got back a few days ago from the National Cycling Championships,
or, as the T-Shirt said, the 1993 Fresca Junior National Championships (no
mention on the shirt of cycling or the USCF).  Some other people there and I
concluded that Fresca (apart from being the official soft drink of the U. S.
Cycling Team) must be the Federation of Rejects Eating Scalions and Carrying
Artichokes.

#26 of 65 by rcurl on Thu Aug 26 05:25:57 1993:

Eating scalions (small scales, I presume) would make me reject, too.

#27 of 65 by vidar on Mon Sep 27 19:57:03 1993:

"Off with their heads!"

#28 of 65 by none on Fri Apr 15 23:02:20 1994:

Rearrange the letters in live, and you get evil.
Rearrange the letters in "'yee' lives" and you get evil eye






















YEE LIVES!!!!!!

#29 of 65 by vidar on Sat Apr 16 00:28:57 1994:

#30 of 65 by vishnu on Sat Apr 16 01:40:44 1994:

#31 of 65 by anne on Sat Apr 16 02:50:52 1994:

My initials are ALP.

#32 of 65 by other on Sat Apr 16 07:25:13 1994:

Ummmmmmm.......

#33 of 65 by vidar on Sat Apr 16 12:52:38 1994:

And if everbody reads a few lines back, they know mine.  They also
know my full REAL name if they do so.

#34 of 65 by anne on Sat Apr 16 20:28:10 1994:

Some of us already knew it, vidar.
o

#35 of 65 by vidar on Sun Apr 17 01:38:25 1994:

True.  But only because I used to use it as my conference name.
And it was mewntioned quite a lot in sun's car.

#36 of 65 by anne on Sun Apr 17 17:30:33 1994:
