Today I came across the acronym OSC twice, for two totally separate issues:

OSC: Owner's Specialist Contractor (for an installation job for an international casino)

OSC: Operations Safety Console (it's some Department of Defense thing)

Here it is, but be careful--it's a long PDF document

In comparison (to previous days), I've actually never come across the OSC acronym before--except, of course, as used here.

You know you've been reading too much OSC when...
...you really think that the International Fleet made a mistake when they picked Ender instead of you.

Also OSC = Open Source Community

OSC = Optical Sensory Convulsions

(which is what happened when I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

You know you've been reading too much OSC when you even seek out and read his forum posts!

you know you've been reading too much OSC when you find yourself annoyed by the lack of good ideas for movies and the sucktastic pieces of junk that are being mass marketed to the point of daydreaming of starting your own production company that makes a movie version of every book in at least 3 OSC series. not that i would know . . . or ever have the means to do so.

...When you look into the sky and wonder if one of the dots is the battle school.

...you teach your children to look at the sky for battleschool

...you go an astronomy website and go to the map section for your area and type "battle school".

Just for that I should go out and make one. Or does one exist already?

... when you read this and go out to find new meanings for OSC.

... when you do it in the hopes that Orson Scott Card will be amused.

... when you know he's amused because you watched him at dinner.

... over your hidden camera.
