The a/s/l was originally AIMish ((c)Xanthine).

Edit: <randomsidenote>I just realised, theoretically, you can spot a geek because of the way they close their parenthesis... If they close multiple parenthesis with the same number they opened with, they are probably a geek, or have at least some programming experience. I cease my gibbering.</randomsidenote>

Um, no. A/S/L goes back to IRC, I'm pretty sure. I'd wager a bunch of sickos learned about AOL some time, and brought it over with them to AOL chats. Anyway, that which is (C) Xanthine is "AIM-glish," not "AIMish" (that would be more of a culture).

You're quite right about the parentheses too . I think we geeks are also more likely to use square braces as well, although UBB might get a few more people into the habit (I do find it frigteningly sad the some people seem to solely use the cheap JS hack buttons below - use the Source, Luke!).

And will raise them by your side.
He will be a good father
As well as a good husband to his bride.
The Perfect Man loves cooking,
cleaning and vaccuuming, too.
He'll do anything in his power
To convey his feelings of love to you.
The Perfect Man is sweet
Writing poetry from your name
He's a best friend to your mother,
And kisses away your pain.
He never has made you cry,
Or battered you in any way.
To hell with this endless poem,

The Perfect Man is gay.

ROTFLMAO!
I have to try that! And to hell with the consequences.
