Acronyms Make the World Go Round

You know, people seem to underestimate the power of acronyms. I will now ramble on about what I mean. Haters be warned.
Let us reminisce...

Ahh, there I was. Sitting next to that rather tall fellow in my American Studies class. And there Rachael is, looking rather bored, like always. Must... listen... to... teacher. So I turned my attention forward and there was my rather humorous teacher. But that day we weren't learning about gory battles (yet) but political cartoons.
The one displayed on our cancerous Promethean board was an image of two people talking to turkeys, and of course, PETA is brought up.
"Doth thee knoweth what thy acronym means?" said my perky teacher. He doesn't actually speak like that... but how AWESOME would that be? A girl can dream, so for now, that is what he said.
Anywho, someone answered. But NO! It wasn't one of those annoying know-it-all kids. It was something totally unexpected, yet wonderful all at the same time. The answer shall amaze you.
"PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS!" the kid said.

HOW INGENIOUS IS THAT?! Maahvelously, I'd say.
So, this got me thinking. Me and Rachael already have KMBO, but what about other acronyms, eh? My list of popular acronyms, and what they could mean:

ANTM- America's Next Top Model.
OR..... Annoying Nasty Tall Men.
PATD- Panic At The Disco.
OR...... People Armed With Dance.
PSP- Playstation Portable.
OR.... Penguins Staging Props.
PTA- Parent Teacher Association.
OR.... Party Time America!
GBA- GameBoy Advance.
OR.... Grandmas Blinging Armadillos.
BTW- By The Way...
OR..... Brightening Tacky Worlds.
TMI- Too Much Information.
OR.... Tracking Multiple Iguanas.
JSYK- Just So You Know.
OR...... Jumping Stupid Young Kids.
ATM- Automatic Teller Machine.
OR..... Allowing Teacher's Mind-Control.
LOTR- Lord of the Rings.
OR..... Lazy Ogres Teaching Rap.
LARP- Live Action Role Playing. (You know, those kids that dress up in capes and pointy hats and whack their best friend with a wooden stick, pretending that their best friend is a dragon, and the stick is a sword.)
OR..... Lovely and Rare Pinatas.
BFF- Best Friends Forever.
OR... Blasted Flipping Friendship!!
AKA- Also Known As.
OR.... Acronym Knowledge Association.

Ahemm... "WHOOP! There it is!"
Ahemm. So, if anyone sees a spare acronym lying around, all lonely and sad. Probably eating lunch alone, and in desperate need of a hug, let me know. I'll find a meaning for it. There WILL be a second AMTWGR.

Love (unless you just so happen to be the person who invented science fairs, or the first person to wear shoulder pads back in the 80's. DARN YOU!)
