We are idiots.
I cant WAIT for the meetup come Xmas.
<Grath> ALSO
<Grath> HAPPY THANKSGIVING YOU CRAZY CANADIANS
<Forai> CALL COMPOSURE
<Talon_IceHawk> Bit late. Thanksgiving festivities are over >_>
<Grath> no u
<Talon_IceHawk> no y
<Talon_IceHawk> f***.
<Talon_IceHawk> no u
<Talon_IceHawk> XD
<Genryu> L
<Genryu> MAO
<Pillow> I think this year was the most awesomest Thanksgiving ever
<Talon_IceHawk> EL MOW D:
<Pillow> Mow and Mao aren't pronounced the same way :/
<Talon_IceHawk> ...
<Talon_IceHawk> Yes they are.
<Pillow> Are you sure?
<Talon_IceHawk> Are you?
<Pillow> 99% sure.
<Talon_IceHawk> Additional input, guys?
<Pillow> My history teacher and my religion teacher both pronounce it Not-mow
<Talon_IceHawk> Your history teacher and religion teacher (the hell is a religion teacher?) are silly.
<Pillow> (Religion teacher is the one who taught my religion course last year)
<Genryu> ...
<Talon_IceHawk> Same question. What is religion course >_>
<Genryu> Uh
<Striker|away> <Talon_IceHawk> Oh man, I had a round of Planet Puzzle League earlier today. Lasted 17 minutes before I lost because I was like .1 seconds too slow. <- ARGH. EVERY. FREAKING. TIME.
<Genryu> Mao and Mow are pronounced differently.
<Talon_IceHawk> XD
<Talon_IceHawk> WUT
<Pillow> Hah
<Talon_IceHawk> NO THEY ARE NOT
* Pillow gets a point
<Talon_IceHawk> Not yet you don't.
<Genryu> Mao is "M-Ow"
* Striker|away explodes
<Genryu> As in "OW MY SPLEED"
<Pillow> Religion course. HRF301. A grade 11 course.
<Genryu> Spleen, even.
<Genryu> XD
<Striker|away> Isn't it more like ma-oh
<Pillow> XD
<Pillow> Yeah, Striker
<Pillow> That's how you pronounce it.
<Genryu> And Mow is like "M-Oh"
<Striker|away> ...
<Genryu> Like Moe
<Talon_IceHawk> -ow can be both.
* Vortor has quit IRC (Operation timed out)
<Pillow> No it can't.
<Pillow> :/
<Talon_IceHawk> ...
<Talon_IceHawk> Now.
<Striker|away> Yes, it can.
<Talon_IceHawk> Now tell me that again.
<Striker|away> I am going to
<Striker|away> MOW
<Striker|away> the lawn'
<Talon_IceHawk> Mow it NOW.
<Talon_IceHawk> Do it NOW.
<Genryu> That's the wonder of ENGLISH.
<Pillow> oh whoops
<Striker|away> though 'mow' pronounced like 'now' isn't a word
<Pillow> But, the fact remains, Mao is pronounced differently than mow
<Genryu> I'm going to desert my dessert in the desert.
<Talon_IceHawk> It's not a fact.
<Talon_IceHawk> It's a nitpick depending on the person.
<Genryu> Mao Zedong.
<Grath> Hm
<Pillow>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong<Striker|away> No, I'm pretty sure there's one way to pronounce Mao, and only one way to pronounce 'mow' that actually makes sense
<Talon_IceHawk> I wasn't actually using the word "mow" as in "to mow the lawn" though :/
<Genryu> ...
<Striker|away> ...what other word is there?
<Genryu> what are you using it for, then? o_O
<Pillow> It's not a nitpick of the person, its a fact of the Chinese language, Talon
<Talon_IceHawk> I wasn't using it as a word at all.
<Striker|away> ...
<Genryu> ...
<Pillow> :/
<Talon_IceHawk> But when I get L MAO, it would look silly to type EL MAO.
<Genryu> Uh.
<Talon_IceHawk> Y'know.
<Striker|away> What?
<Genryu> You pronounce it "EL EM EH OH"
<Pillow> But EL MOW looks sillier, becuase it doesn't make sense.
<Genryu> Elmo?
<Pillow> XD
<Talon_IceHawk> Oh for--
* Pillow high fives Gen
* Genryu tickles El Mow
<Forai> ai?
<Talon_IceHawk> You people are all being silly idiots >
<Genryu> No u
<Striker|away> So now we're resorting to name-calling?
<Talon_IceHawk> I was pronouncing it LIKE A WORD, not LETTER BY LETTER.
<Talon_IceHawk> Harmless name-calling.
<Striker|away> Yes, and 'mow' pronounced like 'now' is not a word.
<Pillow> Like a word, it isn't pronounced the same way as mao.
<Talon_IceHawk> ;dohhifjh
<Pillow> I think we broke Talon :/
<Talon_IceHawk> And I repeat, using "mao" to pronounce "mao" would be just plain silly.
<Genryu> ...
<Genryu> ...
<Genryu> HOW?
<Pillow> Hao?
<Striker|away> Now brown cow
<Talon_IceHawk> Because that defeats the whole purpose.
<Genryu> How is it silly!?
<Genryu> I shall never use "Water" to pronounce "Water" again
<Talon_IceHawk> It's like using "moar" and "leik" and those stupid things.
<Genryu> I shall pronounce it...
<Genryu> Zanzibar.
<Talon_IceHawk> You do that.
<Pillow> XD
<Pillow> Zanzibar amuses me.
<Pillow> i walk near there every time I go to the arcade.
<Genryu> I pronounce "Moar" like...
<Genryu> Well
<Genryu> More.
<Talon_IceHawk> Exactly.
<Talon_IceHawk>
<Genryu> Except with a LOT more emphasis on the O.
<Forai> yeah
<Pillow> Talon, you can't really use another word with Mao, unless you went "Maoh" and that looks a little weird.
<Pillow> It's like one of those words :/
<Forai> M as in More, O as in Bob, A as in Ahhh, R as in Rutebega
<Pillow> I thought it was Rutabaga :/.
<Pillow> Wait, I think I typoed.
<Pillow> Nope, I didn't.
<Talon_IceHawk> Sure you can. None of you would be complaining if I had went m-ow, which is the same damn thing.
<Pillow> No
<Pillow> There is clearly a hyphen
* Mewtroid|laptop has joined #squadbng
<Mewtroid|laptop> Ugh.
<Talon_IceHawk> Just because "mow" pronounced like "now" is not a word, does not mean that those letters in that combination cannot be pronounced that way.
<Mewtroid|laptop> Whoo.
<Talon_IceHawk> Just that that does not actually make a word.
<Mewtroid|laptop> Excuse me, gots ta configure the new mIRC install to not suck
<Striker|away> You can pronounce it to make nonsense.
<Pillow> But if you used it in the context of EL MOW, people would be like "that makes no sense" and they would go through this whole conversation.
<Talon_IceHawk> Which is what I was doing.
<Talon_IceHawk> That was the whole point.
<Striker|away> That went well.
<Pillow> Yes, lets end this ridiculousness.
<Pillow> So
<Pillow> I saw Resident Evil Extinction today
<Pillow> Anyone else see it?
I love how I'm just like -insert movie- and people started talking about it after this. It was hilarity.
Here is a quote from the Sons Of Butcher forum. The first quote was in regards to Tenacious D (omg love) opening for the Sob's (omg more love) on the 26th of this month. I want to go.
(they arent really opening for them though.
)
thats who should open for them on the 26
That would be multiple layers of orgasims wraped in chocolate and nuts
There is no better way to say that.
