Wait, really? I got it right, or that's how everyone pronounces it except the people who live there?
Yeah, everyone who lives in or near Shawano pronounces it that way. People who pronounce it the way it's spelled get made fun of.

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.

Wow, I'm suddenly filled with rage. Some assholes on one of the Wired blogs are bad-mouthing my big brother.
Grrrr. Must not reply.

Grrr. But you and Burrell are correct. Best not to feed the energy creature.
Hulking out is just not worth it sometimes.
Yesterday, I found out that one of the requirements for the WIA training program is lack of a college degree. So, finally, I have an actual advantage for not finishing up the requirements that were left over from my senior year.
