[QUOTE=ZEROthirtythree]I was at a resturant for lunch today, and while I was eating I remembered this quote and I started laughing. I hope no one else saw me giggling. :p[/QUOTE]

I'm glad you got a kick.

YDload 10-04-2005 06:10 PM

It's "MOG-why," haven't you ever seen the movie [i]Gremlins[/i]?

Electrocution 10-04-2005 06:22 PM

Yeah you uncultured heathens.

Zappa 10-04-2005 06:34 PM

I didn't say it was "mog way," I was just supplying a clever quip.

YDload 10-04-2005 06:41 PM

I know but you might confuse people.

Also when people say "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" do they really say the first two words as exclamations?

Zappa 10-04-2005 06:46 PM

I always do. I think most people use the ! like a comma, though.

Bartender 10-04-2005 06:47 PM

I do. It's fun, it confuses people.

Not that I've had many people to say "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" to.

Jacaranda 10-04-2005 06:53 PM

How to say: Gogol Bordello and Xiu Xiu?

I just say Gogol Bordello like how it looks like but it seems like a tricky name like that.

Bartender 10-04-2005 06:56 PM

I've always just said zoo zoo for Xiu Xiu. I've never heard of the other one before.

Dog 10-04-2005 06:56 PM

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]...Xiu Xiu?

[/QUOTE]
I think it's "zoo-zoo"


edit: beat

Zappa 10-04-2005 07:00 PM

Xiu Xiu should be more of a "zhoo zhoo," shouldn't it?

Anxious 10-04-2005 07:02 PM

[QUOTE=Zappa]Xiu Xiu should be more of a "zhoo zhoo," shouldn't it?[/QUOTE]
Yeah.. sounds right.


and by the way, I get dibs on saying !!! is pronounced chick chick chick.

Electrocution 10-04-2005 07:13 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Xiu Xiu is pronounced "shoo shoo". I have that on high authority.[/QUOTE]
What like you've seen them live twice or something?

And I say godspeedyoublackemperor because I feel awkward saying those words.

Dog 10-04-2005 07:14 PM

That's what I do for andyouwillknowusbythetrailofdead.

sr800bkAGAIN! 10-04-2005 07:27 PM

i like the name Godspeed! You Black Emperor better. it actually makes sense.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor just sounds like two incomplete sentences.

[QUOTE=Happymeal]Someone in punk said "Mack-Eye"[/QUOTE]
It is Mack-eye

YDload 10-04-2005 09:18 PM

What? Why would it be anything except Mac-K? People named Kaye have their name pronounced like the letter itself, and I would expect no different from that guy named Ian.

Anxious 10-04-2005 09:27 PM

I always used to think that, but, REINER, (the mod in Punk) said his teacher used to know him, and he pronounced it Mack-eye.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Xiu Xiu is pronounced "shoo shoo". I have that on high authority.[/QUOTE]

The singer pronounces it that way, but in Mandarin Chinese Pinyin it is technically "Shee-oh Shee-oh," with the 'ee' part going really fast and the 'sh' being palatalized. But it doesn't really matter anyway.

mr_jackalope 10-05-2005 12:50 PM

Ennikk.

Electrocution 10-05-2005 02:46 PM

pixiesfanyo is soooooo good at pronouncing things.
