Images: 6  |  Wireless Acronym CONTEST!! [April] The Ridiculous Wireless Backronym Contest All you need to enter this contest is to post ANY idea for a new meaning for a wireless acronym. For example: GSM = Get Some Mobility Post your Wireless Acronym, with a definition, in this thread before the end of APRIL. It does not matter at all what the idea is -- post anything -- stupid, funny, insulting, it doesn't matter. Dumber is better! The winners are chosen at random, not on the merit of the idea. It is fine to use an acronym even if somebody else has already. On May 1st, THREE randomly selected posters will each get a stainless steel WA travel mug. The first and second namea drawn get a new style mug. The third name drawn gets the very last old style (collectors item) WA mug in inventory. Everybody is eligible (except for admins). Posting something like 'enter me', or 'I can't think of anything' doesn't count. [Credit for the idea for this contest goes to ShoresGuy from his EV-DO post in the last contest.]
