I can't. I lost all my money for the week with my wallet and I can't get at any more until my replacement bank cards/credit cards show up (short of dragging my ass out to my home branch, which is next to impossible on a work day).

i figured out the code...now i have to work on the translation...good thing i don't have triskaidekaphobia...i pass the test...but if it existed before i didn't know it i just took a guess from the structure of the first two words...

OK partial geek points awarded for figuring it out ad hoc. Full points awarded only if you know what the code is called and what it was used for on the 'net.

Bonus points awarded if, like me, you have a text editor or other program that automatically does the conversion. Extra credit if you wrote it yourself.

Why waste my time with wussy codes when I can waste my time with my own constructed language?

From:

My point behind posting in this (dead simple) code is wasn't obfuscation, but rather a USENET history quiz.

From:

Yeah. Other than

logik I didn't think anyone would remember this.

drunkpunk surprised me (I didn't think he was that much of a "trrx").

From:

Not so much of a "trrx" as perhaps very "vadhvmngvir" when I see something online in a thread or something that I don't understand. I am a geek when it comes to the fact that I HAVE to know whats going on out there on the net. It's a bit of a compulsion on my side.
