  • Prolagus I think these entries should all be pronounced. Mar 14, 2010

  • sarra I've added approximately a zillion, but hearing every one of these additions on the radio always leads to a happy little repetition from me. Mar 12, 2010

  • sionnach This is Sylvia Poggioli, reporting from Rome. Jul 2, 2009

  • chained_bear Interestingly, ofravens (boy this goes back some...), I had a similar experience in a car with MY mother, only it was "Slobodan Milosevic" that caused the psychotic laughter. *still feels guilty*

    Also I really like that Neda Ulaby is on this list. I am saddened that Alice B. Toklas is misspelled, however. Jul 2, 2009

  • yarb I don't know, but that is a brilliant portrait of him by George Watts in the wikipedia article. Jul 2, 2009

  • bilby I wonder why William Morris causes happieness in the saying. Jul 2, 2009

  • bilby Not famous yet, but we should keep an ear on the career of this wonderful name:

    "Elwyn Tinklenberg, who is challenging Bachmann in the Sixth Congressional District, released a statement criticizing the freshman legislator’s opposition to the bill." Sep 25, 2008

  • ofravens I'm glad I'm not alone here, C_B. True story: I also once laughed when Yo-Yo Ma was brought up in class and somebody next to me quipped, "Yo-Yo Ma's so fat..."

    Between this and the Desmond Tutu thing, there was at least one car ride I remember going on with my mother where both of those things randomly got stuck in my head and I laughed until I was in tears and my mother thought I was experiencing some form of psychosis. Apr 13, 2008

  • chained_bear I hate to confess that saying "Slobodan Milosevic" always makes me giggle too, though I try not to (that's why I didn't just add it to the list). Apr 8, 2008

  • ofravens Confession time: While I know this is really disrespectful of me, I am absolutely incapable of saying "Desmond Tutu" aloud without giggling until I cry. Apr 8, 2008
