^^^but isnt ashley a girls name?

^^with a name like angel you'd have to behave yourself, or deal with the irony

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

^ It was originally a guy's name. One of the male leads in Gone With the Wind is named Ashley :nod:

And yes, irony. Remember, I'm no angel, but my name still means "pure"

 

[bono_212]

^I was named after a character in a rather famous book...perhaps you've heard of it...it's called Gone with the Wind

and my mom once told me she almost named me Summer Renee....I may hate gone with the wind...i may hate being named after i guy....but i will ALWAYS take it over summer

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

^ I was almost named Summer Renee freaky!

<born on the first day of summer

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

^^ Well at least she didn't name you Rhett!

Summer is worse than Angel! But I like the Renee part, considering it's my middle name

^ Maybe the two of you have the same mother!

 

[bono_212]

^ & ^^ Brittany! Is that you?!

^ Love that we posted about gone with the wind at the same time

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

^Dammit! I thought I could get away with being Aimee longer than this

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

^^ I'm psychic. As soon as you said "a guy" I thought of that Ashley. All of this talk is making me wanna go watch the movie though.

 

[bono_212]

^^ Brittany...what are you doing on teh comp so late

^I refuse to ever watch that movie because of what it's done to me

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Ten whole minutes of silence in this thread

 

[bono_212]

no one said anything after me

Ok I've GOT to get some sleep...the last few days i've only gotten six hours but I get to sleep in tomorrow

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

Y as a vowel is finally winning!

^G'night Ashley, nice to meet ya!

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

^ I started to say "If Y were a vowel, they'd have a Y marshmallow in Alpha-Bits cereal", but then I realized they do

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

^Yes! Score: Y as a vowel, 1. Chass, 0.


AEIOU and sometimes Y

edit: i just realized how big of a nerd i am when i was just tempted to put "you cant make it on your own" after sometimes

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Oh well, at least this isn't Wales. In Welsh, W is a vowel

EDIT: Just saw your edit

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

^now thats just ridiculous







edit: just saw your edit about my edit and now i'm confused

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

This is all the Welsh I know:

Pob bore pham y godais, rwyn ddiolch i dduw rwyn Cymro.

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

^ translation please?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

"Every day when I wake up, I thank the lord I'm Welsh."

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

^ I wouldnt with a language like that! But then again, English can be pretty crazy too

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I hate vowels! They should be banned. So I don't like having to deal with extra ones, like Y

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

If we banned vowels my name would be M









Let's do it

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

And your favourite band would be 2?

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

2 rl: nd lve th ld sngr Bn rl: rl:



ok I vote we bring vowels back now...its just too hard with out my smileys

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Bn s s ht rl:

Okay. Did you ever hear the one about how U2 couldn't have existed in Ancient Rome?

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

no i dont think i have

enlighten me please

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Okay, so there's no letter U in the Greek alphabet. This immediately presents a problem. However, when directly translating names from other languages to Greek, the letter U is replaced by the letter V.
But, modern numerals as we know them did not exist. Roman numerals did, however exist. The number 2 in Roman Numerals is II.
Thus, U2 would've been VII, which is of course, 7. So the band would've been called 7. Maybe that's why Edge kept wearing those #7 shirts

 

[Bonos_Lemon]

it all makes perfect sense now!

edit: sorry i was gone for so long, my comp froze twice

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I can't remember who originally came up with that, but it's quite inspired
