Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How about Shawano?

(Hint - it's pronounced with two syllables....)

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

How does one pronounce Sepulveda?

SehPULvdah.

I like to say it SepulVAYda myself. I seem to recall that's not a bastardisation like the rest, but a family name or something.

The worst here for me was trying to get a cab to take me to Los Feliz. Loss FEELiz, for those not from these parts.

Great. Hec asked a question in movies, and there was some Facebook updating, so I'm still here and can't leave until I find good pictures of Iman and Eve Salvail for my site.

It's good for you, and good for America.

Hmmm. I'm going to go with:

WALK-shaw and SHAW-no.

The second one has to be wrong, though.

Probably. But that's how everyone pronounces it, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm going to live the rest of my life in suspense about Burrell's commute.

::cue evil laugh::

bwah ha ha ha!

Okay, for you, I will cave. If you don't count the daycare drop-off, it's 15 to 30 minutes.

Wow. OK, that makes another one I had wrong.

Waukesha?

I've only ever heard it "WAW-keh-shaw."

Los Feliz trips me every time, and I've lived in CA for ten years now.

... shit, ten years. How'd that happen? When I started posting on TT I was still in Bawlmer.

Wait, really? I got it right, or that's how everyone pronounces it except the people who live there?
