"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Heh. And Butterfly Boucher's last name rhymes with "sloucher."
That's the one I've heard most often...that's wrong. Vonnie has the correct pronunciation, at least from a French-Canadian perspective.
The one that I've heard the bearers of give up on is "Fournier" which gets pronounced For-nee-or more than the correct For-nee-ay.

Betsy! Good to see your pixels! So sorry to hear about your and W's migraines.
Maybe we should send the kitty to Cheney? Getting caught with some right leaning pussy might just shut him up for a while.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
She's Australian.
That's interesting, the only Boucher I've come across pronounced it the same way.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
OK, Buffista map question:
You supposed to be the blue balloon, right? So why is there another in Colombia? Does my evil twin live(s?) there?
Also, I still want to know who's the Syrian Buffista, very much.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Yes, I can see the name - but it still doesn't tell me who this person is.
