So what's Egyptian for "U-Haul?" A horn-less sheep followed by a rectangle with lines radiating from each corner.

I think you need one of those animal-styled couches hanging out at an absurd angle.

Which reminds me of this, which was found in the tomb of the Pharaoh Apollohotep last year: I've translated the inscription that he he writing, it says: "to the moon in the month of Pa-n-rnn.t" Unfortunately I don't know what year.

I have no problem with having fun with an occasional rebus. I understand the difficulties inherent in text messaging. However, I do think that learning to type properly on a full-sized keyboard is going to be an important lifeskill for anyone whose career plans don't include asking people if they want fries with that.

I could understand it if you were text messaging someone, but in a forum where intelligent discussion (usually) is the norm, why would you want to give people the impression that you're a 12 year-old?

You don't need to use the forks unless a Mafia guy is attacking you.
