mom placation was ironing by which mens perrypops in a womansuit is the new child mystericating teats that can taint baconated digestive broads plastercasting gnostically from the great gospel wwjh

i like tehresa better than theresa tbh

i also did not notice that was a misspelling until just now so that probably says a lot for the amount of salt you should take that opinion w/

CROOLIDGE

do the cool ridge

katharine is rough too. first they need to know if it starts with a K or a C. then they need to know if it ends in rine or ryn. then i have to also tell them its an a and not an e in the middle which just gets a lot of HUH?

It is kind of a mystery to me why people go out of their way to make up new spellings of names to make their kids stand out (or whatever their reasons are) when even the most generic name (i.e. SARA) has multiple possible spellings.

Katherine is a VERY pretty name, no matter how you spell it, btw.

yeah but in their defense sunny i imagine its kinda like -

katharine - with a k, and an i-n-e at then end, and an 'a' in the middle

WTFF why dont you just TELL ME HOW ITS SPELLED?

This is my third contribution to this thread. I have had laryngitis for the past week, and now I am over it. I cannot tell you a better feeling imaginable than the one I experienced last night: lying in bed and feeling my sinuses spontaneously clear out for the first time in a week -- loads better than sex.

but deez when i just spell it they read it back with the E anyways

haha. yes. that is what happens to me. 't-h-e-r-e-s-a-' ok 't-e-r-e-s-a'

Hello HSTNGS.

My entire family has a reflex action to spell our surname every time we say it.

Wow, is your name really hard to spell, like, I don't know, Wcyznci or something?

my dad's mother actually forced him and his sister to change their last name due to red scare/bad spelling confusion.

Wow. I always thought "Robinson" was painfully boring, but maybe I should have been grateful.

REMY WE GOT A MYSTERIOUS PHONE CALL FROM A COLLEGE FRIEND WHO CLAIMS HE MET YOU IN SEATTLE

wtf am i doing awake

i just had this dream that a guy was going to stamp on my hands really hard (and making me leave my rings on while he did it, for maximum damage). i woke up bawling my eyes out because i couldnt get away.

i always spell my last name out, even tho it only has four letters. no one ever hears it right. FYI: my current last name is not my birth name, and i have actually gone by 3 different ones. i is a lady of myyyyyyyystery.

people who are my facebook friend know what my last name is. NO ONE SPELLS IT RIGHT. EVER. OR PRONOUNCES IT RIGHT. IT IS THREE LETTERS.

Person: "What's your name?"
Me: "Jessie [LAST NAME]"
Person: "Could you spell that, please?"
Me: "[VERY EASY SPELLING OF THREE-LETTER LAST NAME]"
Person: "....OH."

Obviously my first can be spelled any number of ways, but it doesn't really bother me. I hate it when parents spell their kids' really boring suburban names in "unique" ways to make them more special (variations on katherine/theresa do not count here, I'm talking like "meagghainnn" etc.)

I should also mention my last name is an extremely common noun.

"monster" is not actually all that common in general people speak

lol jessie to poeple pronounce it 'french style' a lot?

yes! trying to fancy up my last name, those bastards.

best last name question ever:
Pizza Delivery Guy: "Are you Korean?"

wow. i apologize for my terribly boring joke two posts up. i think i need a nap, i have run out of the funny.

It is the double barrelling that makes it difficult. It is amazing how many people don't know what a hyphen is.

sorry I didn't acknowledge you beyonce. maybe it is time for a new single. xp

Yes, I sold him a book? He was really cool. I told him to say 'hi'.

it was a very surreal moment -- i have met a lot of people who claim to know people i know, but i usually think they are lying.

He's the assistant conductor of the Harvard Glee Club now! Started out as a chemistry PhD, ended up a choral conductor; it's a funny old life.

Dan, how was VEGAS VEGAS VEGAS?

yeah, how WAS IT WAS IT WAS IT?

according to the commercials ive seen, he doesn't have to answer that

Is it verboten to tell about the food? Because I want to hear about the food.

FOOD

Food was AMAZING. Actually everything was AMAZING. I highly recommend saving pennies and staying at one of the lol-$$$$ hotels (Wynn, Venetian, Bellagio, Caeser's Palace) because SRSLY WAU AWSUM.

We spent an inordinate amount of time in the Bellagio VIP lounge drinking Patron neat. Also saw the Hoover Dam (WAU).

(I should note we were staying at The Venetian so our presence in the Bellagio VIP lounge was at best sketchy; our friend's high-roller aunts were there and kept giving us food comps for the Bellagio and, in a pinch, could have stood in for us had we been questioned... but we weren't. WOOT)

That sounds SO FUN!

Soooooo jealous right now. (!!!!!)

Did I mention we also got into Pure at Caeser's for free thanks to sketchy high-roller hookups? Also we saw O for free thanks to SKHH?

We also saw Spamalot! (starring JOHN O'HURLEY who was O'VERYGOOD but not O'MAZING) but the performance was halted for 15 minutes when the set malfunctioned and one of the dancers injured herself right at the beginning of a huge dance number. She was carried offstage sobbing by stagehands! WAU

We'd previously seen the woman who played The Lady of the Lake in the touring company of The Lion King and she was WAU.

"road trip to Michigan" sounds so dull in comparison ;_;

hey dudes

a. i grew up on coolidge avenue, so i'm down with that spelling

b. the one time i went to vegas i stayed at the bellagio; it was pretty nice but i'm not really into vegas

c. all most of my gfs/wives' names begin with a k or hard c. ultimately masonic boom will be mine

d. jessie lafleur are you going to grad school and will you have a radio show there?

Coolidge was a President! Yeah, he sucked and apparently everyone forgot him, but still!!!

mookieproof, how many wives have you had?! ;)

btw, I had taco pizza and a bunch of iced cafe mocha and I'm feeling quite content with that right now.

hulllllo my interview went swimmingly. I could be in pending a discussion w/ my very irrelevant-to-the-position referee :/

yay! i knew it would go well!

i met roxymuzak and saw her band and also met surmounter!

Awesome news, wilter!

tehresa, you certainly have been out and about. I'm envying. I had such a nice conversation with people at the coffee shop tonight that I seriously wished I worked there so I could have an excuse to stay and talk to the ladies who sold me the coffee. (OMG MY EXTROVERSION IS TAKING ODD TURNS)

i dont believe surmounter exists

I do. Is it true he is of Lebanese extraction??

my gf is going to Lebanon in September.

is ramzi as adorable IRL? i bet he is

what is taco pizza and i do i need to add it to my americas food thread

ONLY IN TOTINOS PARTY PIZZA FORMAT TOPPED WITH CHOLULA

ps. i am extremely sad today:

1. 10yrs worth of book collecting, down the toilet for $450

2. ray caesar pricelist preview: nothing below $3000 except for some shitty digital sketches. in my dreams i will one day own one of the huge $12,000 works ;_;

i am kind of afraid of taco pizza.

aww, sorry rubes!
