I went with my friends yesterday to the car superstore, and when I was asked what cars I'd like to check out I said: "I hear those Volo's are pretty good."

Anyway, how do you pronunce Volo, Volo? Is it Vol-oh, or vole-oh or voh- loh or something completely different?

It just is Volo, VOLO, volo, ah, I don't know. It sounds so stupid..  Pronounce it as you think it sounds best, I won't mind. edit: So, I just sneakily add some content here not to just be chatting around. Hmm, fish. - No I don't like fish, even the smell is terrible, I can't stand it- *cough* I went to check in my Microsoft Sam voice thingie how to pronounce Volo or to write the pronounced Volo and now, at two AM, what do I end up doing? Oh, of course. Of course! I try the names of you Downers on poor Sam. Hmm... I wonder how he'd survive some actual lines from the books. Hiihihii! Last edited by Volo; 06-22-2008 at 05:03 PM. |

Anyway... You know your Downs habit is going a little far when you pick through your alphabetti spaghetti (I am so sophisticated) to make the word 'Barrow Downs' on your plate... (followed by TARDIS, Tolkien and Lord of the Rin (couldn't find a 'g')). I feel like I'm 12 again...

Hookbill, quite technically Barrow Downs is two words...
You know when you're addicted to the Barrow-Downs when you correct someone like I just did...

Heh. It's okay, I thought it too. Then I saw TARDIS.... And as for me....feel free to point and laugh.  I was at band rehearsal last week and we were playing a Czech piece. (Czech here having the meaning that it was composed in Wilbur, a small town by where I go to college which hosts "Czech Days" which is essentially an excuse for everyone in the area to....erm, I can't really say it on the board. Point is, as far as I'm concerned there's not much Czech about it....But I digress....) Moving on....Czech piece, to refresh your memory. Well, it had been a long day and we were supposed to play one movement all legato and pretty like (don't ask) and I was spacing off looking over the music and all I saw was Czech and legat (the music wasn't copied very well) and I chuckled in the middle of rehearsal. I remembered it during rehearsal tonight and had a total giggle fit because I realized that it was perfect fodder for this thread. (Also, I was playing some game where you had to escape from the Land of Nog....erm, I mean Nod. Enough said)
