Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide

Tireguy: Five emails a week asking how to pronounce "Tireguy"?! Tim my friend, you have a very large, and very moronic, fan club.

Clueless: ROTFLOL! :-) (Still don't know how to pronounce "Clueless" though...)

D. Roobin: That story can be found in this archived thread.

Sutts: Yeah, well, I got a hint of the situation when some of my favorite folks on Agon started shortening my username to "Zake" or "Zakes" in print...

Yikes, Zaikes!

Great thread!

Contrary to popular belief, I am NOT that slant-headed, green-skinned Art Clokey creation, Gumby.

I'm a slant-eyed, yellow-skinned guy called GOOM-BAY.

Zaikes, now I'm too embarrassed to hit "send" on my e-mail asking TiredGuy how to pronounce his moniker.

Where's...

Friggin' Viggen...

Matty Blumpkin...

Or Marco Jax2 Polio?

And, Dave De-Cay?

Tom, I thought TWL stood for The-Wong-Langer. I pictured you as a Chinese guy wearing a mask and running around the old west righting wrong with your trusty twin Teres six-shooters and your sharp AudioPoint spurs!

And Clueless, since I'm Japanese and therefore have difficulty pronouncing the letter "L", I always referred to you as CROO-RISS.

My user name, if you want to call it that, was my email address when I signed up at AudioGon many years ago. My address was jefflo@istar.ca, I changed ISP's several years ago but I'm stuck with this dumb user name. I wish I could create a new name and move over all my threads, feedback ec... to the new user name. I asked AudioGon if I could create a new name and move my history over, they replied it's not possible. So... I'm stuck with an old email address for a user name

At least you all were 'wise' enough to chose an user name! In my usual haste, I overlooked that I could change the default name they (Audiogon) gave me based on my e-mail address. (The M after Brian is the first letter of last name.)
