Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, shrift. You're an FMA junkie, right? Are the DVDs set up funny? At the start of the first one Netflix sent me, the kids are at a desert town looking for the philosopher's stone. But at the end of the second disk is where he gets his name, and they learn about the stone. Kinda confused.

I have a question that I swear is not based in reality, so don't even go there. There's a portion of seeing a guy (or girl, work with me) where it's not assumed it's an exclusive thing, right? And then there's a resolution or a discussion, and exclusivity might happen. I'm trying to imagine how the conversation with the other guys goes. Is there really a proliferation of "Oh, the other guy I've been seeing wins. So sorry!" discussions? It seems horrible, and if anyone I know has been on the receiving end of them, they've kept mum. So I'm sure I'm missing some subtlety.

Skipping and poking my head and ignoring on-going conversation in a meMeME exploitation of the hivemind:

I just got an e-mail from my brother, and I can't think of anyone to transfer the questions to, other than you guys. So, thanks in advance!

how to pronounce the names Ciceron and Midgley? I think it's kikeron and midli but i'm not sure.

also- how do you pronounce the name Irvine (the university in california)? eerveen or eervain?

Someone went christmas shopping in the layaway bins.

I'm the only person left in the wing. Maybe this means I should sneak out early?

Nilly, I'd go for siseron and mijli, and Irvine is ervyne. If that makes sense.

My sister's been on the recieving end of this conversation. It does suck.

Irvine is er-vine (short e sound like the suffix er, and long i as in wine).

Thanks, ita, brenda and sara! I'll forward all your answers (the combination of them is what really helps, too - if one version is not 100% clear on one detail, the others complete it).

My brother is grateful, too. Is it even more "a stranger on the internet" if he's not in fact the one who's posting? He did know I was going to ask "your Buffy forum people", if that counts.

Am I the last one to know about Google SMS? Because that is WAY COOL.
