AutoBalan's NASA (with a twist of Reverse Blooper)

AutoBalan is an Automobile engineering student in our college and is in the same class as AutoTom. AutoBalan has an answer for every question even if he’s ignorant of it. Listen to a conversation between AutoTom and AutoBalan (overheard by a well-wisher in their class):

AutoTom: ee NASA yude full-form enthonnede?
AutoBalan (after thinking for a while): National Auto Sport Association!!!
AutoTom: orappaana?
AutoBalan: thannede.

Now, wait a second before you smile or smirk; it seems that the well-wisher and I made a jackass of ourselves deciding to publish this post. Why?? Because there’s indeed a National Auto Sport Association in reality. I googled for it a little while ago before publishing this post, just to be sure, and found this in Wikipedia. And that's my first reverse blooper; bang, bang, boomeranged!!

P.S.
What can I say about AutoBalan? Respect man, respect!!

Sigh...learned this lesson in 6th Std or so, when I was proudly showing a classmate what the full form of NASA was and ended up with some ten different full forms of the same.

You are a late bloomer :p But better late than never I guess! :)

Thine tag will be done soon!

mathew said...

thomas said...

@bvn: Oh! :)) That's a googly!! But certain weirdo stories do appear in manorama at times. And you took the pain to read the whole story in howstuffworks, that's admirable!!

@deepti: Boomeranged with a blow on the face!! Did you say lots of space; tell me the stories and I'll blog it with added masalas; what say??, hehe, just kidding!

@shama: Ho, entha avalde oru santhoosham!!

@g-man: Hallelujah!! :) :P

@silverine: Yeah, there are a lot of expansions for NASA, saw that in wikipedia. Obviously I'm a late late late bloomer compared to the mother of all bloggers!!!


@jiby: Thanks Jiby. You might be equally glad to hear that there're lots of bloggers from SCT too.

@servidores: Aah! The first spammer in my blog!!

@rinu: Rhyno baby, don't do, don't do!! If ever I could hold of what happened with you the other day;rats!

@mathew: So, can I expect some reverse blooper blog posts in "wetspark"?

Aiswarya said...

ha ha. i didn disbelive u in the first place!!

Syam Nath S. said...

met autotom :-D

nice post

tom also named thomas, says that whenever i mention you i should say thomas of electronics class.... lest people mistake the evil one to be him.

thomas said...

@aiswarya: I'm the only person you should believe when narrating bloopers, ;)

@syam: Hehe, I heard some rumors that autotom had got beaten up by some disgruntled blog victims of mine. Two people having the same name is an advantage for either of the two and a nightmare for the other. Now, autotom is my saviour.

Hey Thomas, sexy blog :)

I'd come here before, but couldn't leave a comment - pressures of office (even if you are not doing any work, you're at least expected to not enjoy yourself).

Will be back again. Meanwhile, you carry on with your character assassinations :p

thomas said...

@philip: Thanks a lot philip!! Sure will continue, hehe.
