We Beat AIDS

[eggwards]

Chris and I were out at lunch at BW3's today, mainly to get our trivia fix on, since the Thursday night Cowboys game meant we couldn't go there on Thursday (too crowded). When we got there, we noticed one of the handles for a player was "AIDS."

NTN/Buzztime usually screens out offensive player handles (though I have seen "BLOME" before) so we were surprised to see that "AIDS" was allowable.

The question is, was the handle being used to raise awareness for World AIDS Day today, or was it just another immature joke. We don't know who was playing it, so there's no definitive answer.

In my own juvenile twist I changed my usual handle to "AZT" and made stupid comments like, "I'm suppressing AIDS" and "the lead AIDS has is diminishing!" I know, its silly, but how many times do you get to say, "AIDS is going down!"

Both of us managed to beat AIDS for each of the three games we played. Ahh, if it were only so easy.

:: chuckle :: Okay, that made me smile. I wonder why whoever this guy was, thought this was a good name to pick?

You know, unless he was with friends and they were all STD names. But apparently "HVP" and "HERPES" had to call it a day early? ^_-
