"When did the notorious Guantanamo Bay Naval Base change to 'Gitmo,' a word that conjures up an image of a fluffy and sweet character from a Japanese anime show?" asked Marcus W., of St. Louis.

It was before you were born, 'tard, decades before "anime".

UNDOCUMENTED ALIEN -- "If they haven't followed the law to get here, they are by definition 'illegal.' It's like saying a drug dealer is an 'undocumented pharmacist.'" -- John Varga, Westfield, New Jersey.

That is awesome!

I saw "awesome". But, only when something is greater than greater than great. :-) As in, "William Joseph's piano playing is awesome."

Evidentally it is impossible to have one thread here that someone doesn't turn into a Saddam one.

"But how is 'pwn' pronounced? Pawn? Pown? Poon?"

As a linguist, I can answer that for you. It's one of those words delegated to the irrelevant and can be pronounced in any number of ways because no one in History will give a rat's rump about it!

In it's most direct, ancient translation it means, "You're a LOSER if you pay ANY attention to these two, and give them any credit for anything beyond hyping their own fading Star Power." :)

It's pronounced Pown.

would that be "pown" that rhymes with "own?" or "pown," which rhymes with "town, brown, clown and down?"

I guess we can be thankful that they didn't go after "hugh" and "series."
