Not too long ago, my sister went to NYC and I urged her to go to Veselka in the East Village, ten years ago I went and had an extraordinary meal, in a wonderful ambiance.
She didn't listen to me and went to the russian tea room instead. Well that was a mistake, she said the atmosphere was tepid, the waiter service drab, the food bland.
She should have listened to me. Some people are stubborn and have a worse time because of it.

Yeah but what about Limewire, then?

"What happened?"
"The new proton burped out a couple of leptons and switched back to a particle similar to the the old proton."

Curious, in contrast I remember when they aired A Fish Called Wanda (that was a long time ago), they censored John Cleese's response to one of Otto's inarticulate verbal insult streams:
"How very interesting... you're a true vulgarian, aren't you?"

...so as to not offend... people from Bulgaria, I guess? They might confuse the V with a B, then write strongly worded letters to the head of network programming?

Try and control those rabidly ignorant bigots you force-fed with anti-science, anti-reason raw red meat, let's see how that goes.
This is 'Murica! Muh freehdum!

 

It's one of those pet peeves that rub me the wrong way, and they all seem to do it, whether it's anywhere around The Ringer network, or the Earwolf network, or the Blank Check podcast to name a few, they always say "Ray" instead of "Ralph".

The man's real full name is Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, quite a fancy mouthful, but not even a hint of "Ray" or "Raymond" in there. Did everyone in the podcasting world decide to pronounce his name wrong on purpose?

First names are too chummy, endearing.
Depersonalize that sick parasite.
