Stave

Post by bossk »

OK, this is a dumb reason to start a thread, but I have been reading ROTE finally (got my trade paperback a couple of weeks ago), and about two-thirds of the time, instead of reading the name as Stave, my mind fills in the more familiar "Steve". I catch myself thinking of this guy as a laid-back fella named Steve instead of a hard-ass Haruchai named Stave.

:lol:

I keep thinking of the similarity with Clave...
But he does say its only a coincedence. :roll:

And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

Well, since I kicked his ass good in the book, I call him "Sally". :lol:

But seriously, now I hate you because Steve is in my book now! :x

LMAO, Esmer. So I guess it's a good thing that nobody accidentally read
"Brinn and Cail" as "Brian and Carl" in the Second Chronicles! :D ;)

You two made me snort Dr. Pepper with the last two posts - good virtual timing.

I used to work in public radio, and I did the same thing to the classical announcers - I'd pronounce Shostakovich as "Show-STACK-uh-vich" and get them hesitating. Great fun as they were always so uptight.

Looks like we might have to have a rematch Esmer. I'm not sure I can live with the name Sally. Maybe I will have an advantage as you must be in a lot of pain from snorting cofee. :LOLS:

Creator, I'm with you on that. This thread now reminds me of an old poster of a fat man sitting on a cooler, beer in hand, tightie whities showing over the waist of his jeans, with exposed ass fault. The caption read:
"Just say no to crack."
