Da bomb!!!    I am of fairly certain belief that this particular term did
not get it's orgins from the above mentioned culture. I think it is more
of the "punk/alternative" nature than anything. Although I have no proof
of this, It seems to be alot more of a trendy word, and also seems to be
at the "forefront" of the SOooooo popular alternative scene. Does that
mean it is bad to put it on a t-shirt? I don't think so. I will prolly be
skewered for having such an opinion. It will get attention, which may get
some comments, which may lead to some Bible studies, and it would more
than likely be a
door opener than anything. I would let them do it....matter a fact I may
suggest it go on our Youth Groups next set of shirts.......course.....I
probably won't have to suggest it.....

God Bless You.............hehe Aint He just Da Bomb!!!
