    My favorite joke about UK fans is that they're the only people on Earth who make "Cats" (Kha-yats) a two-syllable word.

    And sorry IJAG, I'm with Spnited on this one. I've never once said Smy-uhl, unless I'm trying to take someone's picture.

    Then again, I say "root" like "rut", yet tend to draw out every other O-word like I'm Fargo-on-crack, and use the word "bubbler" (the water fountain, not me in first person) in my normal speech.

    Egads, man, did you not read the thread? he DOES say Smy-uhl, he just doesn't admit to it. I heard it with my own right ear! And then he denied it but put a smi-ley (also two syllables) admitting it in his own old-man way!!!

    No I didn't read the thread. What is this? Communist Russia?

    As for Spnited, maybe he's senile? Oh well. Time to put him in the home.

    (Aren't you supposed to talk openly about putting someone in a home before actually doing it? Just trying to follow procedure here)

    He's building castles in his oatmeal again. He's paying no attention.
     
  6. so, senile would be three syllables?

    Yeah. It's only a matter of time before he starts uncontrollably peeing himself.

    It's going to be awkward to break it to him gently and tell him he got wet "swimming". Of course by mid-sentence, he'll plunge headlong into Murder, She Wrote and forget all about it.

    I think Grandpa Simpson needs a roomie.


    (Spnited is going to kill us for this)

    Be nice to the old guy. He's been a little glum ever since the McKinley assassination. Fuckin' Czolgosz.
