Never heard it before....but Welsh sounds about right; they like to have one vowel for every 12 consonants. My father's middle name is Welsh; 4 l's, 1 y, and 2 e's: Llewellyn. Too many vowels!

Hey, I'm reading a book right now, and that is the protagonist's name! No Country For Old Men.Never heard it before....but Welsh sounds about right; they like to have one vowel for every 12 consonants. My father's middle name is Welsh; 4 l's, 1 y, and 2 e's: Llewellyn. Too many vowels!
And neither of us noticed I forgot to count the w.
We spent a day in Wales about 20 years ago. I've never seen so many unpronounceable words in my life. Street signs, stores, products...wow! The town we went to started with a C, and had about forty letters, but when pronounced was only 2-3 syllables. I gave up after that.

I've read several of Cormac McCarthy's novels - he's not easy to read. I read Blood Meridian and The Road. He creates some pretty intricate prose.
I love meetings with no agenda. And then start late because they're doing another convo first. Cool. Not like my mom had to get up at 5:30 to drive up here and I had to get up early and juggle baby with DH to be at my computer on time. Totally cool. Thankfully I'm at home.

I kind of like his style of not using quotation marks during conversations between characters. The book itself is very good, so far -- seems to follow the movie fairly closely, but involves the characters' thought processes, which I like. I read "The Road" a couple times, as well as watched the movie. Very good, very dark.
Heh - PapaLew kinda blew that one for himself. I'm at the point now where half the time I use PapaLew and half the time I just type Lew.
I called both CWW#1 and CWW#2 by their real names while talking with Pants. Weird it was.
Feeling this just isn't enough and have decided no hookers or blow either!
If there's one thing I learned from the movie "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain" it is that everybody in Wales has the last name of Jones.Never heard it before....but Welsh sounds about right; they like to have one vowel for every 12 consonants.

Already gave up corn on the cob when Byerly's stopped putting any out last week. Think I ate more corn on the cob this summer than any other year of my life.
This was very not Chaser-like. Was online checking delivery status of Onkyo receiver I ordered and the doorbell rings and it's UPS with the receiver.
And nicely packed with a heavy blue plastic shrinkwrap that would protect it if it was left out in the elements. Impressed but Crutchfield is an ace kinda vendor.

Boxster calls every poster by their username still too. He mentioned CG in regards to something (I think volleyball) and used her real name and it shocked me for a second.
