I actually prefer to pronounce it in jive, similar to "da Man" except instead of oppressing the downtrodden, he endeavors to convert them to a strange laughing religion.<P>What can you expect from somebody named reeker...

How about we attack this in our crossover Monk....<P>Me: That's Damonk?<P>Jody: How do you pronouce that?<P>Me: .....*thinks* It's not important, it's written (points to dialogue bubble)<P>-glych

you know, when i just see damonk, i don't really know what to pronounce it. but when i see him post, he uses damonk13, which to me, looks like da monkie...<P>anywho, i know his real name...

Yeah, I think I've asked you before as well, damonk, but did not check for the answer. How did you come up with "damonk," and what does it mean? <P>(remember when your sister visited in the general thread, and someone asked if she is called "danun?" I forget who said that ...)<P>Yes, I have also thought if it as "Da Monk." Da Monk is in da House!<P>BTW, how come you put 13 behind it? I know Caster does as well. How come you do, Caster? Why, damonk?

Canada is funny.<P>They aren't even a real country.<P>I mean they <i>are</i> a real country, but...you know....They are so quiet up there...With their Mooses, and plotting... but that;s okay...<P>They're like the Pope. Everyone loves 'em, but when they say something we all kinda' giggle and and say "how cute".<P>For example:<P>Us: Your Holyness! It's a Pleasure!<P>Pope: Yes, it is good to see you again. I have some advice for betterment of the
species.<P>Us:Anything.<P>Pope: We should stop killing each other and give one dollar a year towards food for the dying children in Africa.<P>Us:*snicker* Sure, man. Anything.<P>See what I mean? It's works with Canadians too, here:<P>Us: Hey, Canada!<P>Cd: Hello America, how are things with the election?<P>Us: Awe, that's over now, but thank's for inquiring. How about your government?<P>Cd: Well, the medical and other health care is doing wonderfully, also our education, under grade 12, is flourishing nicely. Our children are healthy and learned!<P>Us: isn't your medical and public education socialist?<P>Cd: A form of it, yes.<P>Us: *snicker* Yes, Canada. We'll see each other at the UN meeting next week.<P>Cd: of course...are you patranizing me?<P>Us: No..bye Canada!<P>Cd: Hey! (folows Us out door) <i>Hey!</i>

What is so funny about us, eh?<P>I rest my case!<P>-glych<P>------------------

All things considered, I have the sneaking suspicion that Damonk can be pronounced "Frank"...<P>Funny thing is, I've never said the name aloud, so I've never really had need of pronouncing it. If I had to, I'd probably show off my talent for overliteralizing things and pronounce it <cite>day-MOON-kay</cite>. When I think about it, though, I always visualize it as being pronounced dah-mink.

Why do I have a "Click here" instead of a spiffy image on my fanpic.

Hey, there's nothing funny about Canada!<P>. . .<P>...okay, maybe the whole "Quebec-secession" thing, that's kinda funny. But that's it.<P>...well, and the hockey.<P>...and I guess the whole cultural absorption by the US is a little funny, too.<P>And <a href=http://www.exploitationnow.com/d/200010 ... /a>.<P>But that's it. Really.

It's gotta be pronounced Damn-ONK, guys. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Why? CAUSE JOHN T. SAID SO!<P>------------------

i can try!

I refuse to accept that damonk's name is "da monkie", because I refuse to believe that damonk is 1337! 13 is a number dangit!<P>------------------
"Truth hides on the other side of a two-way mirror
In countless documents sent straight to the shredder
That might finally give us the whole of the picture
But until the day we decide to dig a little deeper
We know that truth will hide
Under fallen rocks and stones
At the end of a disconnected phone
Down an unmarked street
And buried, deep beneath your feet."

so? it can be anything i want it to be!

I'm telling you guys... it's pronounced Chuckles.

Just couldn't resist getting in on this one...<P>I do believe that the pseudonym in question is pronounced "Dah-Monk..." but would love to hear anyone's theories about that damned thirteen...le bel francois avec son cheveux floppy ne me explique pas...<P>(cursed American computers that lack accent marks....)<P>*think I know the story behind the name as well, but 'tis not mine to telll**<P>Ha ha ha ha ha ha (snicker)<P>Vermin
