Ed has been working hard to help the people of Bishop fight acrodectephobia by sharing Mountain Rambler Beer with as many as possible.

Acrost

An urban legend. A myth. It doesn't exist. Some say it is a mysterious derivative of the word "across", but they would be mistaken. Or the "past tense" of across. However, that claim is ludicrous because across is a preposition. And prepositions don't have "past tenses." For those of you who don't pay attention is English class (all of us!) prepositions have "past participles." People that claim acrost is a word are just like the ones who claim to have seen UFO's or bigfoot. Although bigfoot has those Patterson films. Hmmm...convincing. But these people have no proof that this word exists. And besides they sound retarded when they say it.
a. I went "acrost" the dirt road to get some cigs at the tobacco store in my redneck town. Then I saw bigfoot!!

Come across

When you come across (something) you run into something, most often good things and without planning to do so. One can come across e.g. stuff (books, speakers, you name it), a person, information, and much more.
Very often used in past tense, because you are telling what you came across.
- I came across a Beatles LP a while ago - the joy!

- Yesterday I came across Dave. Man, he has really aged.

- Have you come across our new boss yet?

Across the Universe

One of the best films since Edward Scissorhands. It contains Beatles songs, talented actors/actresses, romance, sadness, happiness, art, and it is set in a decade where there were things to live for.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.

Army Sergeant: Is there any reason you shouldn't serve in the United States Army?
Max: I'm a cross-dressing homosexual pacifist with a spot on my lung.
Army Sergeant: As long as you don't have flat feet...

Me: I love Across the Universe!
Friend: Jim Sturgess is hot.
Me: Oh, yes, he is.

Acronymphomaniac

Someone who goes crazy and gives everything an acronym.

One who over uses acronyms when using the actual words is no extra effort.
"OMG that guy makes up acronyms all day long- I have no idea what he's saying anymore. He's a fricking Acronymphomaniac."
