I don't have the time nor wherewithall to attempt
translation, sorry. But I do appreciate your taking the
time to mention me personally.
I believe you are saying something about texting on
mobile phones. I don't believe in texting, never have,
never will. If I want to talk to someone I will call them
and talk voice to voice, nothing of the modern fadism of
lol and all that junk. I am a person-to-person person, no
jive lingo.

Thanks to Avy's "bcn u l8r leg8r." I understand some more of MBT 's poetry. ( never got far beyond the b = d thing.)
It 's a bit like in the 1 -2 snowed in thread.
@Avy, nice little tinker man. (I think)
Gallent ted's writing is also poetry. Love the rhythm in the lines.
I also thought it's just like the snowed in game. As much fun.
Tinker man or Saucepan man. Thanks.
Albear Camoo here, your everyday-being-in-the-wordy-world teddy bear. I�m great friends with GallantTed and MadDogTed. As GallantTed is out of town on business at the moment I had to take it upon myself to come in here and explain MadDogTed�s approach to writing. I hope you all appreciate that this is taking a great effort on my part as I am very shy and reserved. But needs must, so here goes.
But before I start, I�d like to point out that contrary to some opinion I�m very much as funny as GallantTed. Indeed, some say I am even funnier and it�s oftentimes I had them in stitches in Slasher�s Bar and Grill with my jokes and anecdotes.
But enough about me. This is about MadDogTed who is really shocked that people can't read his musings. You see, MDTed - and GallantTed for that matter - were not lucky enough to receive a proper formal education like me. MadDog Ted is self-taught. He learned his trade mainly from texting to his friends on his mobile phone. He genuinely thinks that this is the proper way to write.
Standardisation means nothing to him � it�s really a case of making it up as you go along. Don�t use punctuation, spell words as they sound and use shorthand (or shortpaw as us Teds would say),(you see, I told you I was as funny as GTed,(ha, ha, ha, or lol, lol, lol (laugh out loud) as the young texters would say).
Because he is a self-taught, he never quite got to grips with the proper use b�s and d�s. This is common with many youngsters learning to write and he is in no way making fun of people who are dyslexic � a condition which goes far, far beyond the confusion of just two letters and something which we Teds would never poke fun at.
Being a little uncouth and not refined like me, MadDogTed often uses some bad language in his writing. After all, not only is he a teddy bear but he�s an Irish teddy bear to boot.
So b f n c n u l8r g8r means: be (f n) seeing you l(eight)er g(eight)er. Fn is sort of a swear word so I�ll leave that one to the less faint-hearted of you.
Finally his signature - mabbogtebby X. The X is not a kiss but the way he signed his name before he learned to write. His still gets his b�s and d�s mixed up in his name and by now has a block about it so that�s the way it will stay. Remember that this poor teddy bear has spent most of his life going in and out of the Borstal for Bold Bears.
I do hope this sets the record straight - or str8 as MadDogTed would say. (Ha, ha, ha, I�m on a roll now for sure � beat that GallantTed).
Thanks to all those who supported the Teds over the years. If you want to see my picture please use the link. Of course, contrary to opinion I�m the really handsome one.
All the best � be seeing you later alligator
