I would need to see a transcript of Bubba's convo with the clerk to determine how many words I understand (if any). <br /><br />I looked up the significance of the number 11 and found various meanings. It could mean "beyond awesome" or it might be used as a laugh or taunt. It might also refer to Gaming Rule #11 defined as follows by the Urban Dictionary:<br /><br />"He who becomes enraged during gaming, must regain control of themselves before communicating with people in the outside world. After smashing my controller in rage, I followed gaming rule #11 and took time to calm myself before talking to my mother."<br /><br />It's all Greek to me, dear friend Sherry. Maybe Bubba can do a guest post to enlighten us. <br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your week!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.com
