A Question For Narf

[Ed Kolis]

OK Narf, can you give me a straight answer on this... is your name supposed to be pronounced like it's French ("narf pwah shay BOOM") or not ("narf poyt chezz BOOM")??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

no, it's not french. it's from a cartoon called Pinky and The Brain.

[Ed Kolis]

I know that's where the "narf" comes from, but I wasn't sure about the rest... thought maybe you were a FRENCH Pinky fan http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

nope. I AM CANADIAN! I DON'T DRINK BEER, I DON'T WORSHIP BEAVER'S, I DON'T EVEN GO TO SPORTS GAME'S AND MOLSON SUCKS BIG TIME FOR USING PATRIOTISM TO SELL BEER!

uh, that's been building up for a while. the capital letter's are because the molson add guy was shouting. i mean, molson using 'i am canadian' for it's beer adds is just sleazy.

We knew you were Canadian, we just figured maybe you were from French-Canadia, and might pronounce 'poit' 'pwah'. It's a fairly reasonable assumption, seeing how 'chez' is not 'cheese', but rather 'shay'. I mean really, how do you say it? (phonetics please)


[eidt: 'pawh' != 'pwah']

That is complicated. Your name does not sound French for me, except the "chez" that is. (Which is definitively French and does not have any direct equivalent in English) Don't ask me how you are supposed to pronounce his name though.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

nope, not french. in the show, it's pronounced 'chez', not 'shay'.

you know, this may have been the most...i don't know...inane?, silly?, pointless?... question posted on this forum. i'm not saying there's anything wrong with the question, but, you sure do have a lot of time on your hands, doncha? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
