OH! You had me worried there... When you put the exclamation point after "Poster!" I thought you and Steve! were expecting another little bang*-let...
* In computer-speak, an exclamation point is sometime referred to as a "bang" in order to relate the old-style Unix copy protocol addressing scheme faster verbally. So "fred!berkeley!edu" could be read over the phone as "fred-bang-berkeley-bang-E-D-U."
Not to pick nits, but an exclamation point was called a bang long before Unix days. It's also an old printer's/typesetter's slang for that punctuation.
Don't Worry Tommy, I will take care of this for you!!
New lurker,....any friend of Cindy is a friend of ours......Don't worry about Tom being a dumb bunny! He is blonde! (and yummy...at least back in the day he was ;)-->) :D-->
Yummy:)-->: For some people of other days/social circles -- a vanilla malt was high degree of pleasure, "yummy" could easily refer to a good looking guy.

From the useless trivia department:
Kit: That's because, technically, ethyl gasoline is not available at the pump any more. The "ethyl" comes from tetraethyl lead, the most common anti-knock compound in gasoline since 1923. However, in 1972, the EPA required the phaseout of lead in gasoline, and as a result, "unleaded" gas has replaced "ethyl" gas.

As in more bang for the buck??
Or if successful in said practice, I guess it'd be more Bangs for the Bang family.

Even the @ sign was used before Dot Com came on scene.
One friend at work (a kid) was stunned when I told him the @ was used in math before internet was a dream.
