Good Morning, all!

I was up 'til 2:00 am last night watching Inglourious Basterds with my buddy in his theater. Hence, I slept in.

It's cool you watched a movie involving a girl with her own theater with a guy in hiw own theater.

The above screen name is new on the DBR. Does it vaguely remind anyone else of a word or words used by one of our beloved posters who is banned on DBR? Just curious!

It sure does. But read it backwards, and it seems to very possibly be someone's name.

When we get posters like that here, usually a quick IP check turns up a positive hit as a spammer, and they are quickly deleted and banned. Over there...you have to knarf their osiagles a bit more and earn the ban.

I did read it backwards and it STILL sounded like something someone would use.

As in, "Pipe down or I'll whack you with my Frank Delgaiso?"
Seriously, I think this one at least might be a real person. There is at least one person named Frank Del Gaiso with a Facebook page.

Good Morning, all!

And yes, it WAS the Mayans who predicted the end of the world in 2012. Although, technically, their calendar just ends then. They don't really have any apocalyptic predictions that I know. They just got tired of updating their calendars for 1000+ years into the future, then the Aztecs demolished them. So lazy. ;)

Actually, their calendar doesn't end then - that it does is a common misconception. All that ends is a cycle in their calendar. After that cycle a new one begins and their calendar continues for something like another 3500 years.

I know EJ is. Permanently. Something about scissors and nipples and a rhyme with dumbo...

Why is Arkansas pronounced AR-KIN-SAW and not AR-KAN-SUS?

Arkansas is derived from a Native American (Osage?) phrase which means "down river people." Can't remember the exact spelling of said phrase, but it's closer to AR-KIN-SAW than AR-KAN-SUS. (Thank you, 5th grade Arkansas history class!)

I have a friend who pronounces it AR-KAN-SUS. He is clearly an idiot.

Hmmm, so at least two of us here are permanently banned over yonder. Oh well, fuck 'em.

Isn't that pronunciation actually against the law, within the state?

Perhaps he is from Arkansas City, KS - which is pronounced AR-KAN-SUS - affectionatly referred to as Ark City.

For the same terrible reason that Butte is pronounced with the long vowel U.

There's a suburb of Atlanta called Dacula, pronounced "Duh-CUE-luh". However, I resolutely refuse to pronounce it any other way than "DACK-you-luh," complete with Transylvanian accent. Seriously, every time I have said this word for the past 12 years or so, I have pronounced it with the classic vampire accent.

Aren't Doraville and Lawrenceville supposed to be pronounced with a rolling 'r'?

Nope, he's from Waterloo, Ontario.
