Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: "...and the horse you rode in on."
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2008? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

lisah, remember Jael - nutty but without the mean. Seriously, anyone who shows up in a tutu is my kind of contestent. (and, looking at her name, if she'd been a boy would her parents have named her Kalel?)

Jael is a biblical name, Toddson. Some woman who squshed a general's head with a rock or something. I only know this because it's my niece's name.

Yes, I was aware of that ... she also appears in a Dorothy Parker poem ("I'm Judith and Jael and Madame de Stael"), which is where I picked up the pronunciation (which may be wrong). But the ANTM contestant pronounced it jay-el ... which led me to Kal-el. What can I say? it's late on a Friday and it's been a hell of a week.

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
Vampires could have been different then. Maybe Jael was a Slayer.

Do they pronounce this Jael or Yael? Because I've never heard of a Jael, but know hell lots of Yaels.
