Nobody agrees with that actually; but, I don't get sick as often.

Thanks!

That was an actual photograph of Muley taken with a new camera called the Toonographer; it takes actual living breathing creatures and turns them into cartoons!

(I wish.)

"Ueber" is German for "over", but it can be used to mean "extremely." In German there are two little dots, called Umlauts, over the "U". Since most English computers do not make umlauts, the umlauts are replaced by an "e" following the "u."

I feel like lecturing today. :big_grin: :big_grin: :big_grin:

I always say it like "oober" as in "Boober," and I think our ol' pal Cory says Uber- alot also.

I hope Cory feels Uber-Better.
*insert umlauts over the "u"*

uber has become, in spoken colloquial English in the States, synonymous with super, and is commonly used as a prefix meaning that.
