It's one of those things we geeks had, it was all our own.  Then, people 
like you came along and ruined it for all.  Well, not all.  In fact, you 
just ruined it for the geek contingent, the rest of the world is now 
better off (uh...yeah) for it.  Still, we geeks tend to be a greedy 
bunch, especially when it comes to our linguistic bastardizations.  (At 
least the common polulation doesn't know about detonate.net's movie 
bastardizations...WHOOPS!  The cat's out of the bag now!)

For C-Stone I branded my car with the "1337 h4x0r" markings, trolling 
for geeks.  Nobody came up to me or anything, but, ah, I really didn't 
expect it.  Miseur So Briquet did ask if I raced the car or 
something...I don't remember exactly, but he did notice the markings.  =)
