Why was Elmwood band?

Of course, if we ask how Harpo would have pronounced that…

He wouldn’t! :slight_smile:

HONK!

That reminds me of the person who was convinced the Russian word for ‘restaurant’ was pectopah, because he’d looked it up in a English-to-Russian glossary and it said it was PECTOPAH.

That’ in Cyrillic letters, pronounced rest-o-ran’.

I did this once when I was a teenager. The Billy Joel Russian concert CD had just come out, and I kept seeing posters for what I thought was an album called “KOhUEPT”. And I just could not figure out what that meant.

Until months later, when I noticed that maybe they weren’t just stylized Roman alphabet letters, after all…and then I :smack:, as I realized that it spelled, in Cyrillic letters, CONCERT.
