FYI ... For Your Incomprehension
DT = DOUBLETAKE
DT can refer to DoubleTake, DoubleTake Media, and/or DoubleTakes.
DoubleTake™ is twin brothers Dave Hage and Dennis Hage and/or a contraction, or an acronym of DoubleTakes™ humor.
DoubleTake Media™ specializes in marketing, entertainment, management consulting, training, and other projects, such as real estate development to help finance DT having "fun".
DoubleTake™ humor can be/or is our particular kind of jokes, word plays, Wackronym™ acronyms, absurdity, song pairody™ humor and one (or in our case, "double") way of looking at the world.
Although the word doubletake was "coined" around 1930, we've expanded the definition a little. We envision the concept of a DoubleTake as a cross (double?) between double vision and double talk with a little double think and speak thrown in to make it fun. DoubleTakes are somewhere in-between the absurd and the possibility of truth. It's not stranger than fiction, but it'll half (sic) to do.
DT Wackronym™ acronyms (first used in DT's "The Official Goldbuster Guidebook", 1986) make people stop, look, or listen to a DoubleTake joke. Often misspelled Wackronyms or "Inkorrect" acronyms took on lives of their own. For example, the term O.W., which stood for Oll Wright, became popular for a brief "spell". O.W. eventually gave way to the Wackronym acronym, "OK" or Oll Korrect. Even today, few realize what "OK" stands for. (Actually, it won't stand for much more of this!) See Daily DoubleTakes for new items, Wackronyms and other DT's that haven't been incorporated into our regular sections.
WHO ARE THOSE GUYS?
Dave Hage is currently the president of a power electronics company; previously Executive Vice President of a $600M public company.
Dennis Hage has been involved with Educational Technology at the Florida DOE and the Astronauts Memorial Foundation, as well as real estate development.
