I run the risk that by the time this comic appears, it won't be a joke any longer.

A long time ago, when the Internet was young(er), I learned many usenet abbreviations, many of which carried over to texting. One of them was L8R, which was fairly obvious.

However, it made it very confusing when I started seeing L5R, which I couldn't figure out how to pronounce. It turned out that it actually stood for the game Legend of the Five Rings, which was popular at the time.

It goes to show you that just because two terms look similar, it doesn't mean that they are related at all. Go Gaiters!
