Potpourri 2883 "Youth Will Be Served?" Part A
Every generation so far has demonstrated that "Youth will be served."
I see no reason why that trend won't continue. I mean even Tiger Woods
can no longer beat some of the "yung 'uns." (That fact certainly underlines the
idea that "Golf is 90 % Mental and 10 % Physical" which some instructors keep
harping on. That's probably true for pros, but not true for hackers like me.)
Assuming that the "Youth will be served" idea continues, I'm definitely
worried about "The English Language" down the road.
"Why is that?" you ask.
For starters, we are very much into an "electronic era."
I don't do Blackberries, "Pods," or whatever gizmos are in, however I'm told
that "Texting is in."
That's apparently where people send posted messages back and forth to one another electronically.
To save time, they have developed all sorts of "abreviations" which are
for all intents and purposes "Greek to me."
For instance, consider the following abreviations.
?4U (Which means "I have a question for you.")
*$ (Which means "Starbucks.")
! (Which means "I have a comment.")
.02 (Which means "My two cents worth.")
^^ (Which means "Message above.")
@TEOTD (Which means "At the end of the day,")
143 (Which means, if you can believe it, "I love you.")
10X (Which means "Thanks.")
2BZ4UQT (Which means "Too busy for you cutie.")
2G2BT (Which means "Too good to be true.")
2M2H (Which means "Too much to handle.")
2NTE (Which means "Tonight.")
404 (Which means "I haven't a clue.")
411 (Which means "More information.")
4COL (Which means "For crying out loud."
4NR (Which means "Foreigner.")
9 (Which means "Parent is watching.")
A3 (Which means "Anytime, Anywhere, Anyplace.")
AAK (Which means "Alive and kicking.")
ADIH (Which means "Another Day in Hell.")
AFAIK (Which means "As far as I know.")
B& (Which means "Banned.")
B2W (Which means "Back to work.")
BEG (Which means "Big Evil Grin.")
BFFLNMW (Which means "Best friends for life no matter what.")
CB (Which means "Cofee break.")
CMIIW (Which means "Correct me if I'm wrong.")
IYSWIM (Which means "If you see what I mean.")
KMFHA (Which means "Kiss my fat hairy ass.")
Enough already. I'm sure that you get the picture.
There are abreviations right through the alphabet.
For a huge partial list of them check out innocentenglish.com
and an even longer one at netlingo.com.
At any rate, I believe that this texting stuff is sneaking into our
daily lives beyond the Blackberries and
"IDNLI." (Which to me means "I do no like it.") (Continued)
Monday's Play Race 10 Del Mar
Our Quickgaps 7-4-3-2 are not as reliable on Turf
for Maidens as they are on other surfaces. That is because many of the runners
haven't raced turf routes before. Secondly, they can't extract data from
the running lines of European invaders.
Race 10 at Del Mar sees the arrival of European runner # 1 Dubawi Heights (GB).
The Racing Post speed figures reported in the DRF for this filly
translate into Beyers between 79 and 87. Those would be higher than
any earned by the other fillys in this race. If she's "matured" since then
look out.
On the plus side # 1 Dubawi Heights placed second in a field of
27 runners last year so she's definitely a fighter.
On the negative side, trainer Callaghan has only won at an 8 %
clip with runners making their debuts from the other side of the pond.
Also, she is stretching out to a mile for the first time.
# 1 Dubawi Heights has morning line favorite status of 5/2
but with the layoff and the trainer's weak debut record, she may be vulnerable.
# 11 Russian River makes her third start off the bench today for Mike Mitchell.
Bejarano opted to stay on her and she will likely improve on this second
venture over turf.
# 2 Megaspiel is paired with # 6 Lemony Fresh as part of a
"soft entry." If the front speed stops, # 2 Megaspiel will be
flying down the lane.
Turf routes at Del Mar have produced some whopping price surprises.
Blanket finishes at the wire have happened frequently and might in this affair.
I'll fish with a wide net here and play: Exacta 1-2-11/1-2-3-4-6-10-11. Good luck.
