l’Homme d’Autobus.
Senor Muchacho Autobus?
(I read “Guy” as more like “Muchacho” than “Hombre”. I don’t know what the French equivalent is.)
Likewise.
Mine is k’THEE-aecks, soft th sound. Though I think the Vulcan word it comes from is actually ‘cee-thee-ah’.
I always assumed Der Trihs was Red Shirt backwards, but then I think I saw a different explanation.
Not meaning to be rude, but when I see Tubadiva I always pronounce it in my head as Tub-diva. The “a” just completely drops off. Again, not meant in a hostile way, it’s just how it’s always been said in my head.
This is only because he’s already got a tuba player in his band, you see.
My user name is spelled Suburban Plankton, but it’s pronounced “Throatwobbler Mangrove”
I’m sorry, but you knew that sooner or later someone was going to say it. Now, you can relax and get back to business.
You’re welcome.
Want to give it a shot? You get it right, I might let you have an e.
Ko (like snow) ee (like ee, duh!) addi (like Ado Addi in Oklahoma–ending is ee, not long i)
I like Meister Autobus Junge, mein own self…
(all I know between the face in the jar by the door and the rice at the wedding is that no-one was saved…)
I must admit, sometimes you are eleanor igby to me.
Bwah!
Thanks for the laugh.
I kinda feel more “igby-ish” than “rigby-ish” at times…
You should be glad that she went with “Diva” and not “Girl”.
Wait, he isn’t a Star Trek TOS fan?
I need a cite on that one, it just wouldn’t be right.
How should we pronounce your name cthiax?
eleanorigby, I love your name, there are a few names that I just had to love when I saw them. Susie Derkins (the neighbor girl in Calvin & Hobbes) is another. **RevTim ** makes me think of Reverend Jim of Taxi and so I smile.
**Qadgop the Mercotan ** is another, I saw his name early on and loved the obscure reference to some very obscure books by a famous only to Golden Age Sci-Fi fans author.
Jim
<somewhat startled, but pleased>
Why, thank you kindly, Jfranchi that was!
I like both your names.
Obscure??!! in what thionite dream is Doc Smith obscure??
By Klono’s brazen guts, you should be freeze-dried on Palain XI!
“Obscure”, the man says…sheesh!
I have a friend in another online universe who insists my user name is “Ass-is-a-movin’”…but I’ve begun to suspect she’s misreading that intentionally.
Oh, and one more vote for turning poor Mangetout into “Mangy Trout – The Mangy Mutt of the Sea*!” (And that’s not meant with any disrespect to the user – just how my mind works.)
*Yes, I know trout are freshwater fish; please see prior comment about how my mind works.
Also, I meant to say, one more vote for someone who screws up Mangetout’s user name…I wasn’t putting forth a vote to intentionally screw it up. :smack:
I’m tired…I’m going to bed.
For a long time I read Shirley Ujest as Shirley Unjest–still not sure where the n came from.
However, I’ve realised the consequences of watching Neo Genesis Evangelion as I just now read it as Shinji Ikari :smack:
I’ve had a few people try to pronounce my username - kinda scary. Then again, I’ve heard some weird-ass interpretations of my real name (Anastasia, could you tell? ) in real life, too. A guy I spoke to for years online called our house one day and tried to ask for Stasia (what I go by), and holy cow. I didn’t have a clue what he was trying to say.
The name is Ann-ah-stay-zsa. Or just Stay-zsa. I get Stay-see-ah and Stah-zee-ah and Stamina and Stallion and Stipulatia and Spatula and everything else.
And teachers in highschool used to call me Stephanie. :smack:
And as for koeeoaddi, everytime I see it, I say it aloud - though I don’t know if it’s correct: ko-ee-oh-ADD-ee. It rolls off the tongue nicely, if not easily.
That is to say, I spoke to him frequently, online.
Me too, like Tubgirl’s sister or something. Once again, not to be rude. I did a bit of a double-take when I first saw it.
