How do you pronounce your DU name?

[UrbScotty]

Or do you not pronounce your name at all?

Some are obvious, like Sean Reynolds, VolcanoJen, Skittles, and others. Others, maybe not.

'ih8thegop' means "I hate the GOP." However, for me, GOP isn't G-O-P; it's one word: 'GAHP.' So, I pronounce my username "I hate the gahp."

If you think there's any doubt about how your username is pronounced, tell us.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Just like it's spelled

as though it were authentic frontier gibberish.

[Skittles]

6. OK now -

is that regular r's or rrrrrrrrrrrrrolled rrrrrrrrrrrrr's?

[Rabrrrrrr]

I don't want my ass kicked!

Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so,
and a torso even more so.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is The Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it, The Wreck of the Hesperus too.
And proudly above waves the red, white, and blue.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

When her robe is unfurled she will show you the world,
if you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree,
or Washington crossing The Delaware.

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
When her muscles start relaxin',
up the hill comes Andrew Jackson.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of them all.
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz,
with a view of Niagara that nobody has.
And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso.
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso.
Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon.
Here's Godiva, but with her pajamas on.

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

Here is Grover Whelan unveilin' The Trilon.
Over on the west coast we have Treasure Isle-on.
Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the rhumba.
Here's her social security numba.

La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.

Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Champ of them all.
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet.
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat.
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet,
for he went and married Lydia!

I said Lydia...
(He said Lydia...)
They said Lydia...
We said Lydia, la, la!

nothing is further from the truth. The first 6 alphabet letters are actually initials from my first, middle and last name. The 10 stands for Tennessee. In retrospect, I wish I'd picked a different user name.

But third time is the charm. I think.

[nomaco-10]

73. I like your name, there's something...

innocently sexy about it. LOL

[northofdenali]

69. 3 words, one name.

North of Denali. Denali, of course, being "The Great One", and NOT "Mount McKinley" after a politician. I live north of The Great One and she was "out" yesterday afternoon and beautiful. Denali makes her own weather, so isn't always visible, but had to put in a traditional Halloween appearance.

Hope you guys all had as much fun as I did. Went to the Howling Dog Saloon and Spongebob was playing bass.............got home at 3 am, completely forgetting that I worked today..........

Going to the Blue Loon for All Saints Day bonfire tonight.

I've missed my DU buddies! If work eases up, I'll at least be back on line with you guys on Saturdays! :*
