Sticka and Bawstun
Stickapole, Boston is not the center of the world. You insult pushout and
the south, act as if you didn't realize your insult and do it again. I guess
you don't understand the pacific ocean is on the west coast of the U.S.A.
and the atlantic is on the U.S. east coast. San Francisco north must be
the west coast and any thing south is Tony Stewart country. Since we
are being sterotypical here the next time your at your Chappaquiddick ocean front property take a swim like Ted away from the girls on the beach you will finally reach a place called the Far East. Now you are from the west. Let me help you out by saying please don't come south with this type of attitude because you won't have to worry about how Joss is pronounced they will be able to read the imprint on your forehead. Stick a bagel where the sun don't shine. I am sorry pushout you were subjected to this and thanks for taking up for us southerners.

Seriously? I'm from much further south than most (other than the Floridians, but really, who's going to ADMIT that they're from Florida?), and I took it exactly as he said it. A joke. Some folks need to wake in the morning and just smile at themselves until they are in a better mood. I can't tell you how many people I have had to correct saying "Josh" cues. Does it have anything to do with being from The South, or East Coast, or Timbuktu? No. It has to do with people not looking at the name, but hearing it, and just assuming that the person said "Josh", not "Joss". But his comments were funny, and that's how it was meant.
Now to Mr. Dan Joss,
continuing this pronunciation conversation, given your examples, you have to understand down here in Gawd's Kuntry, we pronounce your examples:
bawse, hawse, and lawse, but I have always said Joss. Should this also be Jawse? :grin:
And just for the record, I didn't really mean anything against Floridians, and I really hope that you find a way out soon. Heh.
Wife or Joss
Many years ago while I was dating my future wife.. I came across a Joss that had an outstanding hit....unusally better than many of the others I had tried at the time. Trying to impress her I bought it for her. But the problem being I knew about pool and cues not women. Since she didn't pick it out therefore she didn't like it.
She didn't tell me of this till after we were married so I then bought her a new much cheaper cue (in every aspect) but it was what she wanted and it made her happy.
Once a few years ago when we were tight for money she suggested selling the cue.
I made the comment if it goes I go. I'm glad to say the cue cue is still in "our" possesion.
So if you have to choose between your wife and a Joss
Remember the wife is only good till death do you part
A joss will hit good forever

Hey, leave "The Man" out of it.

I'd like Dan Janes to comment on that photo and how the word "East" was used in conjunction with Joss cues. When he said that there is no Joss East it sounds to me as if the word east was never used in reference to those cues but this photo shows otherwise. Whether that is an official banner from Dan Janes or one from a cue dealer I have no idea but the phone number makes it look like it's official.
This photo was taken from my TV. The video in question is a one pocket tournament. The match is Gary Spaeth vs Cecil Tugwell.
Take it for what it's worth.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks Shakes. The Northeast accent does help more than a bit in the translation faux pax, which is what I was trying to point out. Its less of a problem in other areas of the country as O's and R's are better prounounced.
As for the Pokey Monster, you really need to take a pill. Pushout is transplanted from the Northeast and last time I checked, we are getting along splendidly. A few well mannered PM's will do that. Fortunately, we don't say things like "stick a bagel where the sun don't shine." Up here, we say "F'em if they can't take a joke." It applies to your post in spades. Grow up.

Yep, that's the one. I mean for God's sake, look how it's spelled. "KARAOKE" Where does the E sound in the middle come from? Just to make myself feel better the correct pronunciation is
Ka ra o k
The A's are pronounced like an O when you say Bob.
Kara means "empty" in Japanese and oke is a shortened version of the word "orchestra".....empty orchestra, Karaoke.

I feel better now...........not really.
