BTW, is Jaron pronounced like JarJar or like Jared? Or should there be an H sound at the front?  :hmm:
I imagine it to be the way KAP pronounced it, as we used to have a sound file over there with him saying "It's Jaron's fault".  He pronounced it like "JARE-inn".

That doesn't even make sense. I could dig Jare-unn but inn? :huh:

Jare-unn vs. Jare-inn sound virtually the same to me. :hmm:

Half the time I read it as Jared, and thought he might be the same person as the Sandwich guy.  Since he's still posting I suppose that theory is now discredited.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I don't know what to say. You least have figured mine out right?

a hijack that isn't about the ACW, Canada or religion... impressive.

going to watch between X-mas and NewYear.

It is nice to know that Languish has resisted the flashy hype of a new Star Wars movie to argue about the truly important matters in life - such as how to pronounce "Jaron".  :D
