Obs of the day

Obs = observations

My friend and I started obs several years ago - probably somewhere around 1999-2000, while trapped in the boredom of a mundane and thoughtless job situation. It started as a way to pass time over email and soon formed into a dialect of its own. Examples:

Obs: its raining
Obs: I forgot my umbrella

Remember subject and object from grade school? Well, obs eventually grew into a sentence structure where the colon separated the object: from the subject. Examples:

raining: it is
umbrella: I forgot it today
sad: that is

And then we realized we were talking like Yoda.
