You wouldn't know a dose of sex if it came and grabbed you by the balls.

Admittedly, nor would I.

[KhanadaRhodes]

yeah, same here. radio down here in LA is really promoting the shit out of this album. U2's album better get at least this kind of hype.

We can go to amazon.com and buy viva la vida for the plane!

How much do hotels run there.
Or...
maybe I can meet someone on the street befriend them and save lots of money by just staying there.

But which Milan should we choose?

DUH. the one in tennessee.

1. i can drive there in like maybe two hours
2. have you ever HEARD how it's pronounced?

Dear non-famous-Milans of the world,

No, changing the pronunciation of Milan to distinguish yourself from the famous Italian one does not make you cool.

Makes you look pretty silly really.

i didn't know it was pronounced differently until i worked at my old job. we had a contract for a school there, and i was like "oh, i didn't know there was a mi-lahhn in tennessee" i was informed it's pronounced "my-lan"

I would have thought we should go to any Milan BUT the one in TN.

And I didn't see your #2 before making my last post!

Oh we havent been talking about the one in TN this whole time

Wow only 799 to go to Italy.. Lets go!

It'd be OK if Milan, TN had its own etymological origins. For example, Otaki in New Zealand and Otaki in Japan are pronounced differently because one is from Maori and one is from Japanese.

But if you're named after the Italian Milan as the TN one is, then you just look daft if you change the pronunciation! Shall I have a son, call him Bono, and say it's pronounced "Booon-ow"?

I didn't know there was a Milan in TN until I checked Wikipedia just then. I'm not surprised though, since it seems just about every second TN town is named after a European city.

i've never heard any reasoning as to why it's pronounced differently. what i say is, this is the south. everything's pronounced exactly how it looks. and some people not from the south, or not used to that, don't know how to pronounce things.

example: how would you pronounce "tunica"?

Wow I didnt know there was one in TN until... well someone said it like 5 mins ago.

Yeah, I can totally hear some ultra-Southern person saying "my-lan". But I'd put it down to their accent, not a conscious attempt to change the place's pronunciation. Oh well, if I ever find myself in TN again and somehow end up in Milan, if anybody questions me, I'll just keep pronouncing it like the Italian city's name and say it's because of my accent.

And too-nik-uh.
