Like Awesome, I have not partaken of Ike’s wisdom and immense knowledge. Because of my computer’s importance to my life as a college student - and because it, too, helps me find things that enhance my knowledge and life (okay, that last bit might be stretching it a little 🙂 ), I have dubbed my computer Ukelele Ike. And decided to also honor the uke theme song by keeping a tulip in my dorm room next year if possible. * * * Christopher Robin Hood - he steals from the rich and gives to the Pooh. ---

I spelt his name wrong on purpose as a homage to. . . um. . . his popularity on this board. Yeah, that’s it. You see the letter “e” is the most commonly used letter in the alphabet and Uke, he’s the most common. . … No, that’s not what I mean at all. What I mean is that. . .that, uh, that people are alway mispronouncing his name. I hear it all the time on this board. Sure “Ukle Ike”, they say all the time. That extra “e” is a pronunciation guide. ---
