christine always seemed to be in the midst of some type of financial and/or family crisis, i remember her talking about trying to move? maybe that happened? maybe she got out from under her situation, maybe not. i don't remember her contributions being of much interest to me, but i would hope she's well. fwiw i don't think she would have been even slightly embarrassed by the mcd's wifi line but *shrug*

I've always pronounced "Louis" as "Louie", I had no idea you could pronounce it as "Lewis"! Do you guys also pronounce Satchmo as "Lewis Armstrong"?

some people do

Louis Armstrong's first name is French, c'mon. Of course it's Louie.

But walk up to the Nation of Islam leader and say what's up Louie? and see how long it takes you to get taken back out to the sidewalk.

And unless you're Judy Garland, you'd better say St. Louis with a hard 's'.

St's pronounced 'san' though

Street Louie

^^irrefutable

My paternal, east-coasty grandparents always pronounced my hometown 'San Louie Park' instead of 'Saint Lewis Park'.

I always knew it was 'louie' somehow.

My last name, otoh, is pronounced 'levitsch'

Jk

lol

elmo otm about xtine too -- she was not shy

Bet y'all pronounce imago with a soft g too

you really don't want to know how this (https://www.kerrdrug.com/) is pronounced

"car," right? I lived in North Carolina where that's a common last name, and only one letter different from my last name, so I was known as Jesse "car."

I hear "Louis" as "loo ee" in my head, but I was embarrassed to find out I'd been pronouncing the name of the street in the French Quarter of NOLA wrong - it's Saint "Lewis," not "loo ee."

I should have fucking known, given that the Rue Chartres = "Charters" and Calliope Street = ... well, you can probably guess how that one is pronounced.

"Challops"

hard to imagine lj with a silent anything tbrr

lol

just want to say that this is a glorious post/display name combo right here:

if we ever meet, could you perform music w/my vacuum cleaner?

― not some dude poking a Line 6 pedal with his dick (sarahell)

Americans named "Louis" pronounced like "Lewis": Farrakhan, Gossett Jr., Rukeyser
...pronounced like "Louie": Armstrong, C.K., Jordan, Sullivan

(Do I have that right?)

Yes, now if you'll just assume the position, spread your legs, you're under arrest for being a boring nerd

Waterface

*guitar solo*

You're a boring nerd.

The presence of waterface on a thread devoted to wondering where long lost ilxors have disappeared to lends credence to the idea that he is a bannee returned in redesigned clown makeup.

waterface have you ever considered a weird twitter account

^^^this guy gets it

Weird Twitter is everything to me

Speaking of clowns, I was "interrogated" by one once at the circus. It didn't end well.

Splooshie and the bannees

From the Louis Armstrong House FAQ page:

Judging from home recorded tapes now in our Museum Collections, Louis pronounced his own name as “Lewis.” On his 1964 record “Hello, Dolly,” he sings, “This is Lewis, Dolly” but in 1933 he made a record called “Laughin’ Louie.” Many broadcast announcers, fans, and acquaintances called him “Louie” and in a videotaped interview from 1983 Lucille Armstrong calls her late husband “Louie” as well. Musicians and close friends usually called him “Pops.”

coincidentally lj's furry name is "Pops" Yaygrrr

*kickflips over waterface*

And unless you're Judy Garland, you'd better say St. Louis with a hard 's'.
