Here is a little song which demonstrates this usage...... http://www.kwalitygifts.com/compsci/Why%20Won't%20It%20Pwn%20-%20www.MrHaggag.com.mp3 Here's some random other words I pronounce uniquely..... MaTOOOOsow (as in mike the mouth, stick your MAToosow soemwhere dark and cold) HaREEEEBo (As in the sweets, the HAribo pronunciation is surely stupid, ship the cat those fizzy cola bottles) So what words do you/ someone u know pronounce strangely???

Pwned is here to stay and thats no jopke. Title: Re: How do you pronounce..... Post by: I, Zimbra on December 05, 2006, 07:57:21 AM So what words do you/ someone u know pronounce strangely??? 'Zimbra' is of course pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable (ZIM-bruh), however this word is of course the diminutive form of the lesser-known variation, 'Zimbrabim', which is actually pronounced with the emphasis on the middle syllable (zim-BRAH-bim). So now you know. "Blassa gallassasa Zimbrabim", indeed... Title: Re: How do you pronounce..... Post by: I, Zimbra on December 05, 2006, 08:23:54 AM OK, I admit it - this is the thread (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=13924.msg290139#msg290139) I was really looking for.

Post by: Colchester Kev on December 05, 2006, 09:46:43 AM what about plastacine ....... we once had a drunken conversation in a pub about the pronunciation and did a survey of random people in the pub.
I say PLASTA SEEN, as in PASTA , but many were arguing that it was PLASTER SEEN .... no correct conclusion was reached although whenever the lads get together for a few beers and a meal, I always suggest we go to an Italian for some PASTA, but say it PARSTA :) Title: Re: How do you pronounce.....

Post by: Rod Paradise on December 05, 2006, 05:14:42 PM How do you pronounce the death sentence on a very cute mole who is turning your lawn into something that looks like the surface of mars? Go US army on him (hopefully without the friendly fire).. do what they did in Panama, drive it out with music. Buy one of those really annoying musical birthday/Xmas cards, take out the music device, carefully excavate the biggest molehill until you find the hole, drop it in. It is supposed to drive them at least 30 yards away from the music. Title: Re: How do you pronounce.....

If by some miracle they manage to remember between them, I'll let you know the result.... Title: Re: How do you pronounce.....

Go on Red give it a go , then I can qoute you on it! Title: Re: How do you pronounce..... Post by: Ginger on December 07, 2006, 09:48:24 AM Having scratched their heads for the last 2 days, and from what I am told lots of:
"Yes, there was something to move them, what was it?" - Nan "I can't remember, Mum" - Stepdad "Yes you can Brian" - Nan "No Mum, I can't" - SD "Of course you can Brian!" - Nan "No Mum, that's why I'm asking you" - SD "There was something, now what was it.... you know Brian" - Nan rinse and repeat..... Anyway, final verdict is that mothballs have been used in the past with varied results, as they sometimes throw them back out of the tunnel - you may need to think carefully about mothballs though as I don't think they are safe around children, although it is winter and not too likely to be playing in a garden. Castor oil solution can be very effective though, as it taints the taste of the food and eventually they move on to somewhere with tastier bugs (eventually looked the Castor oil thing up on the net, or it could have taken another week to find out the mix! see below) Basically they are pretty hard to get rid of, most can survive flooding (or swim!) any obstruction they will simply dig a new tunnel around. Smoking them out sometimes works, but can be tricky to do correctly/effectively. Quote The formula for the Castor-oil repellent can be made by using a blender to combine 1/4 cup of unrefined Castor oil (can be purchased at most pharmacies) and 2 tablespoons of a dishwashing liquid. Blend the two together, add 6 tablespoons water, and blend again. Combine the concentrated mixture with water at a rate of 2 tablespoons of solution to 1 gallon of water. Use a watering can or sprayer to liberally apply the solution to areas where moles are active. The above mixture will cover approximately 300 square feet. The repellent will be most effective where it can be watered into the moist soil surrounding surface tunnels made by moles. Areas that receive extensive irrigation will quickly loose the repellent to leaching. For best results, spray the entire area needing protection; moles will burrow under a perimeter treatment. The repellent may need to be reapplied before moles depart. Once moles move elsewhere, the solution usually remains effective for 30 to 60 days. Oh and BTW, I have also heard of the music thing but haven't ever tried it. Title: Re: How do you pronounce..... Post by: tikay on December 07, 2006, 09:58:37 AM You can't "get rid" (move, not kill, that is) rabbits that are plundering your garden with a little machine that emits a high-pitched sound, I think the same theory works for Mosquitos. Maybe it'd work for moles. Anyone remember the song title, "I am a mole & I live in a hole"? They don't come up with song-titles like that these days, eh?
