I keep noticing many people saying they pronounce ARG as "argh". Wouldnt "argh" be pronounced as "arf" or even "arcchh"? Come on Team Arg we're losing here!

Well, I've been adding the 'h' to indicate the soft come-down from the 'g.' Like arg-hh, where the 'h' is, um, kind of silent. Does that make any sense at all? I'm not sure what the right terms are for this sort of stuff. Anyway, it's still a 'g' sound, and not an 'f' or a "ccchhhhhh." At least for me, that is. Everyone who disagrees is clearly just insane.
(speaking of, I had a very nice dream last night where I went insane and started eating books. They were tasty. Should I be worried?)

Mmmm books.
You know, Omnie, if I didn't already know what you looked like in real life, and had to have a mental picture of you, I think it would HAVE to look just like Mr. Green: Never before have I so strongly and permanently associated an emoticon, in my mind, with one particular person.

My wife doesn't call it anything. she just thinks all y'all are out to get my social security number and kill our child, while robbing our home and raping us all...

So I mean, she's got it right-
It's just that she's ok with me doing it, that disturbs me profoundly...
