Does that count? Of course, anyone that knows me knows that I giggle pretty much all the time… that’s why the call me Jon the little school girl.<BR/><BR/>Cadiz: I’m with you, I was way off on the pronunciation. That’s much better than what I had. I was pronouncing it, “mpweionpnoigggffftzzz.” As you can see, I was a little off. Not much, but certainly not 100% correct.<BR/><BR/>Nadia: I guess you’ll have to keep wondering… Not about me though… see above.<BR/><BR/>G.G.: Believe me when I tell you that no one is more disappointed than I am about my lack of posts. Don’t worry though, I’m hoping to get fired from my job fairly soon, so that should free up a lot more time.<BR/><BR/>G.G.: This is not meant as discouragement, but you have a long way to go to catch up. I’ve got faith in you though.<BR/><BR/>Jasmine: 100% true. I would be pretty much nowhere without you. It quite clearly started all with you. That alone should put you in the Hall of Fame, but the official voters can be funny about that stuff sometimes… I don’t exactly have a lot of pull with the voters, but I’ll see what I can do… Do you think recapping how it all started for me is post worthy?

I’m not proud of it and I’m doing some strength training every day to make sure it doesn’t happen very often if at all.<BR/><BR/>Lou: Um… my whole post was a big pat on the back to Cadiz… I’m at a loss on how to reply to your comment… I mean, obviously I agree with you… but thanks for the congratulations!<BR/><BR/>Glo: Again… I agree with you… please read my post for proof… but you obviously did that already… this is some kind of hellish circle…<BR/><BR/>Cadiz: Seriously, you’ve earned it. Given the way we first met in the blog world, it is a true testament to your character.<BR/><BR/>As for the pronunciation, well, much like all of the surrounding countries in that area, when said correctly in it’s native tongue, it sounds like, “conshciszistan.” I hope that clears it up. If not, just remember, alternating consonants are silent, odd numbered vowels are elongated when pronounced, but only if the sum of the total letters is greater than 9 or if the total number of words in the sentence equals or matches half the total letters in your own name… it’s a pretty simple linguistic principle.<BR/><BR/>Nadia: Yeah, sorry it took so long for the link to appear… I’m thinking of hiring some new web designers… these old guys seem to be slow on the draw, you know?<BR/><BR/>See above for pronunciation. As to the war question, that is a common mistake. A lot of history books list it as a 31 year war, but the truth is, the first year it was only recognized as a military conflict, not a full blown war. So it was one year of military conflict, then 30 years of civil war. I hope that clears things up. Like I said, few history books out there really cover the topic properly.<BR/><BR/>RJ: No, that is also a common misconception. In fact, there are no known techniques for doing anything to anyone’s head that originated in Konshciszistan. However, there are several knee bashing techniques that have roots there. That’s where the phrase, “Yeah, he really schciszied the crap out of my knee!” comes from.<BR/><BR/>Wars have been fought over less. I recently started one over some spilt milk… I won’t go into detail, but you should consider staying away from the Baltic Sea for your next cruise.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>G.G.: Have I touched a nerve?<BR/><BR/>Syar: Yes yes… congrats Cadiz… I’ve been over this. <BR/><BR/>While I admit that on occasion I have paper sharp wit, I’m still not omarphillips.net. I’m glad that you enjoy the nonsense I produce. You clearly posses some kind of superhuman ability to alter the state of your mind so that what I write comes across as humorous. I envy you and wish that you could teach others to do the same.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I have a question of pronunciation for you… how exactly would one pronounce your name? I’m kind of a nut about this stuff, I like to pronounce people’s names correctly, even if I may never see them, save for the rare towel and coffee meetings. (by the way, I don’t drink coffee, but I appreciate the offer.)<BR/><BR/>Lou: Any time! (is that really an appropriate response to your comment? I’m not so sure it is…)<BR/><BR/>Cadiz: I apologize, you are correct. I will change comment link post haste so that this comment by you looks both ridiculous and unnecessary.<BR/><BR/>Omar: Thanks, they say that the first 40,000 are the toughest. I sure hope they are right because all but 6 of them were quite pleasant.<BR/><BR/>I can’t comment on how big of a moment it was for her though, she’d have to tell you that.
