LICE RACING ON THE INTERNET

Typo in TOCA online race announcement mocked

Dan Prescott announced an internet race series using TOCA Touring Car Championship, but his subject line misspelled 'live' as 'lice'. Regulars responded with a string of jokes about lice and modems, and he reacted angrily, which drew further ribbing.

So I make one spelling mistake so ***ing what. Probably won't interest any of you to know the response for the proposed race has been very good. -- Dan Prescott

If you had a very small amount of humor you'd be laughing at this too. They're not knocking you, just having fun with the misspelling. Lighten up. Sheesh.... Ken

Heh, Well it was a bit late and I had a few drinks. Two lines was about the extent of my vocabulary at that point. Thanks for the _sincere_ welcome though. Jamie.

> LOL!! > (One of those historically dramatic comedies, is it Marc?) Just thinking of starting him off easy...H.G. Wells (for inspiration) and George Orwell (for the fun of it) are next on the menu. Then it's off to the real classics: Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker and finishing up with Wallace and Gromit. Then, and only then, will he be ready to view the big-Kahuna - Barney. -- Marc J.
