Hah, the part about monitoring decibel levels is funny:

"We realize that percussion instruments must sometimes be played loudly in order to properly demonstrate them, but we must insist that there be no extended solos, jamming, or other inappropriate behavior that ruins the event for others."

I just found this quote from my Wills and Trusts prof in my class notes:

“Lawyers are the people who go to weddings and think about the divorce.”

When I worked for a Realtor, he said something similar. He said he loves it when his friends get married, because he can help them buy their first home together and sell the homes they had on their own. He loves it when they have children, because he can sell that home and help them buy a larger one. And then, though divorce is horrible, he can then sell that home and help them each buy their own new homes.

I don't really understand why WOULDN'T you -- it's pretty compelling fodder for a motion picture.

I thought the exact same thing, Jenny.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:29 (twenty years ago)

You know there's this band I used to like, but for some reason I don't anymore. What's the name of it...

Gnarls Gnarls Gnarls Gnarls!!!

Yeah, that's it.

― Man Man (kenan), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

If we pool our resources, we could totally buy it!

The Gnarls Barkley album is kinda disappointing, actually.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:31 (twenty years ago)

With a name like that, I held out little hope to begin with.

― Man Man (kenan), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:33 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if people called him "Charles Barkley" a lot growing up?

― Holy makkara, Toivo! (OutDatWay), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:33 (twenty years ago)

HAHA! They mispronounce "Cuyahoga" in that song. Pretty badly, in fact.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:33 (twenty years ago)

Also, weren't you guys all peeing yourselves over Gnarls Barkley like last week?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:34 (twenty years ago)

I haven't even heard it yet and it's already passe. Oh well.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:34 (twenty years ago)

"you guys"

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

LOL @ "peeing yourselves..."

Welcome to Indieville!

How is Cuyahoga pronounced 4 realz?

than we found out how much dave likes it.

― Man Man (kenan), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:38 (twenty years ago)

i picked up this record by a band called the chancellors last week and the a side totally has me blown away. i forget the name of the label but it's from upstate new york from 1966 and the guitar solo in the middle of it is just astounding. so if you ever see a single called "on tour" pick it up, it's 120 seconds of mid-60s punk goodness.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:39 (twenty years ago)

How is Cuyahoga pronounced 4 realz?

First syllable like NPR reporter Ryssdal, second syllable a schwa, third syllable like "hoagie" but ending with a schwa rather than a long E.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:40 (twenty years ago)

It depends on where you're from, but we said one of the following:

(I would use IPA if I could, but...)

If you're from Cuyahoga Falls: "cawguh" or "the falls"
If you're talkinga about Cuyahoga Street and you're from Akron: "k'HAWguh"
If you're talking about the county and you're not from Akron or Cuyahoga Falls: "ky-a-HO-guh"

Definitely not COY-uh-HO-guh. No one I ever knew said it that way.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:40 (twenty years ago)

If you're talking about the county and you're not from Akron or Cuyahoga Falls: "ky-a-HO-guh"

So like I said.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:41 (twenty years ago)

But what if I were talking about the river?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:42 (twenty years ago)

First syllable like NPR reporter Ryssdal

...

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:42 (twenty years ago)

Or jazz trombonist Winding?

You can't imagine that anyone would think you'd recognize a belt sander, but then assume the pronunciation of "Ryssdal" is common knowledge? You're a compex man, John.

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:44 (twenty years ago)

Winding...

ARE YOU DOING THIS ON PURPOSE?

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:44 (twenty years ago)

You could say Ky-uh-HO-guh for the river too.

For the record, it's a DIPHTHONG /ay/ so get off my jock, boy.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:45 (twenty years ago)

Haha I just said "jock"

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:45 (twenty years ago)

about a hundred and eighty bucks.

OK thanks, John, the photos totally explain how to pronounce their names.

(Amanda's explanation was thorough and useful so I am just busting John's chops now.)

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:47 (twenty years ago)

oh noes

aawwww skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet

― Holy makkara, Toivo! (OutDatWay), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:48 (twenty years ago)

why would a milkmaid be wearing a jock anyway? wait, i don't wanna know.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:48 (twenty years ago)

You've never met me.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:49 (twenty years ago)

Or my foundation garments.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:49 (twenty years ago)

You don't need to know how to pronounce their last names! All I was saying is that the first syllable of "Cuyahoga" is pronounced the same as the first name "Kai." You know, like as in, "From the Frank Stanton Studio in Los Angeles, I'm Kai Ryssdal, and this is Marketplace."
