it just occurred to me that i might have no idea how to say nabisco's name
like the ilx poster, "barima," - i thought i figured that out, until i met him, and his name sounds like "burma" actually

the k is silent
― tehresa, Wednesday, 20 February 2008 18:58 (sixteen years ago) link
I have been told there's some kind of unique pronunciation to the "-ts-" as well but I wasn't paying that much attention.

hoosteen ---> neetsooh

roxy, if it matters, i wear houseshoes

(a) "Hoosteen" backwards would be "Neetsooh," which is one of very few mispronunciations of my name that I don't like, because it makes me feel like the person is trying to make up for not knowing how to say it by choosing the option that allows him to call me "neat." It is usually "him," with this pronunciation. And no, I had never noticed that about HOOS.
(b) I beat up a panda.
(c) I do not wear houseshoes. I would describe my normal around-the-house wear, but it tends to consist of random accretions of whatever garments are scattered near where I'm sitting, added to or removed based on temperature fluctuations, which can leave you in arrangements that are perfectly normal but really not flattering to describe. P.S. Roxy I feel like something is wrong with the universe now that I have heard your speaking voice on YouTube.
(d) Mawndy and Joan are wrong about how to pronounce my name. I'm sorry. This happens because I don't bother correcting anyone on how to pronounce my name. Mostly because I can't pronounce it exactly right, either. The "T" and the "S" are one sound, a kind of hard, sharp S. If you can't make this sound, pretend the "T" is silent. If you CAN make this sound, don't make it around me, because I'll feel bad.
(e) Chances that me and HOOS are the same person seem slim: I'd like to think that if I were splitting off some kind of multiple-personality Stephen King / Fight Club thing, the other personality would do something more interesting than just post to ILX, too.

i think i pronounce this right - but haven't had the chance to be corrected or anything. i am probably pronouncing the t/s more polish than anything, like t/z maybe

Dear Nabisco, where is this video?

What do you mean?! Was my accent too Blount County for you to handle? u_u
― roxymuzak, Thursday, 21 February 2008 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
No! It was just strange to suddenly hear you talk. Maybe because I never hear ILXors voices without actually meeting them? I dunno, it was just strange.
Comparable strangeness: standing in New York at a show / barbeque on the Barnard campus and then turning around and there's RJG, standing there looking like RJG -- these things throw you for a loop, for a second!
― nabisco, Thursday, 21 February 2008 00:45 (sixteen years ago) link
there was that WHAT DO YOU SOUND LIKE thread once upon a time.
― homosexual II, Thursday, 21 February 2008 02:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh right! And Ian R-M had an English accent. And I felt bad for him, because that's the sort of thing I would have done when I was 15.
― nabisco, Thursday, 21 February 2008 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Was that the thread where I called him Pip or did I show restraint that day?
― HI DERE, Thursday, 21 February 2008 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link
jon tried to psychedelic-video chat me (my side didn't work) and it really threw me for a loop what his voice sounded like.
― jaxon, Thursday, 21 February 2008 22:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah. He sounds like a Yankee. Tripped us out too.
― Pleasant Plains, Thursday, 21 February 2008 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link
hearing jon's posts in jon's actual voice is always good for a chuckle
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 February 2008 22:11 (sixteen years ago) link
hearing dr morbius shout the chorus of "Gay Bar" is another thing that I will probably never forget
I apologize in advance for this possible slur, but I read all of Morbius' posts in a Paul Lynde voice.

You missed the Youtube video of me being racist and dancing to eurotrance huh?>

tehresa (1 week ago) i can't believe you uploaded this.
― Pleasant Plains, Thursday, 21 February 2008 22:55 (sixteen years ago) link
no, I'm not racist in that one!

I couldn't hear what was being said, but only "I hope the sound isn't turned on!"

Is ‘knowingness’ a real word? Spell checker kinda freaking out on it, saying it doesn’t exist.

dear nabisco, a friend of mine teaches at a local college and got a last minute assignment to a "critical thinking and popular culture" class. it is 2010, do you have any ideas for articles/books/etc he could include? maybe a case study on tv shows within tv shows?

just reread this via maxs recommend on gawker http://agrammar.tumblr.com/post/359990238/the-rules-of-the-game-a-fuller-thought-on-j-hopper and its sweet that nabisco is writing for nymag now and his reviews are typically brilliant but you know really he should be in the nytimes opinion section telling people what to think abt life - its not an unreasonable expectation
