San Diego, Student System 3 Lines: 22 Does anyone know what one should call the little strips of holey paper on the sides of computer forms? I've ripped off thousands of the things but am a loss as to what to call them except "little strips of holey paper". If someone would like to invent a name, please try to come up with an eight letter name with the letters in strict alphabetic order. Bill Brown cbosgd!cbosg!cwb Lessee. if you take the initial letters from each word in "Little Holey Strips On Sides Of Computer Forms" and arrange them in lexicographic order, you get "cfhlooss", pronounced ``sooflose''. lets add it to our dictionary-- perhaps 100 years from now, some particularly clever lexicographer will decide it is derived from ``Cthulhu's'', reasoning this more or less expresses the sentiment of anyone who has ever inadvertently ripped off a bit more than a little strip of holey paper. god preserve us from what is cfhlooss, steve
