Or Hee Haw. Those of us who pronounce the R don't catch the why of that name.<br /><br />Pratchett called one of his countries Hersheba, thinking it a clever joke for Americans. But we pronounce it Her SHEE bah, not thinking it was how he said Hersey Bar.

Milne--Chapter IV: "In which Eeyore loses a tail and Pooh finds one: <br /><br /> "THE Old <b>Grey</b> Donkey, Eeyore, stood by himself in a thistly corner of the forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?"--and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about. So when Winnie-the-Pooh came stumping along, Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do?" in a gloomy manner to him."

Bluing to improve his color? Doesn't matter, he's probably happier as he is now as well. <br /><br /><br />This week is all about stuffing, ain't it? Here too.
