And Erika causes me to irrigate my sinuses with Coca-Cola. Funny, but ow.
(Quite right on the rhyming, btw.)
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Is there such a thing as oppressive snuggling? Harvey will NOT leave me alone, and I'm tired of holding him. When's Daniel getting home?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

See, now, I was assuming for ages that Thiessen would be pronounced this way, that when you mentioned that there were problems with other people getting it right, all I could think of was - huh, if the obvious isn't right, then ... maybe... francophone... sounds more like "Tyson"?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Here, it's not "Car - en" and it's not quite "Care - n". In this part of the U.S. "Care" would sound like it would if spelled "Cair", but in other parts, it's more like "Kear".
We pronounce my lil sis like "Kair-un" (rhyme the first syl. with "air"...or rhyme the whole thing with "Erin"). But, many of my southern relatives pronounce it "kay-run" (rhyme the first syl. with "day"). My mom tried for years to get them to pronounce it the way she wanted, but gave up after awhile.

Always Anti-fascist!
Sorry for the Coke lavage, bunk. I know that can hurt. Most of the pronunciations do not bother much, but the telemarketer one of Juh-NECK-E. definitely does. But it makes it really easy to say "Oh, there's nobody here by that name." My favorite mispronunciation is being Ms. Hannukah. Now that I know it's "me" you know, and don't look around blankly for a festive young girl in menorah earrings.
