pjn3d - wtf is this grass hoppa?
Haha, this is a funny thread. Sorry to butt in, but his use of pjn3d is even funnier.
Pjn3d comes from the synthesis of two different internet street phenomenon. The first comes from Gamers (people who rabidly play video games), where to vanquish someone in battle is to "own" them. The person who is vanquished is said to be "owned"
There was a famous Japanse video game where the programmer made a typo. When your video character killed someone he would say something like "Haha, you are PWNED!". So pwned entered the vocabulary of gamers.
Converging on this is another phenomenon where computer hackers who published their stuff on internet hacker sites tried to elude too many viewers by substituting numbers for letters in their useful hacker words. Anyone searching Google for the normal spelling of these words would not get a hit for these sites. It became known as "Hacker Elite" speak", shortened to 'leet speak, and when the number/letter subsitutions are made, it is 1337 speak.
So that explains the P and the 3 in pjn3d. I can't explain the "j", though. This might be either a more obscure internet street code that I am unaware of, or he made a typo. My kids are now off to college, so I have lost my contacts with the internet underworld.
After this educational moment, we now return to our regularly scheduled drama.
