"Throat-warbler Mangrove."

No, just kidding. It's half-way between "dawn-teh" and "dawn-tay."

I say Dahn-Tay.

But I suppose I shall have to readjust my brain now and start saying "Throat-warbler Mangrove."

Why you little...

Hehe... one of the better dobies I've seen recently. [Smile]

Posted by Dante (Member # 1106) on :

Dobie? Nah. I just took advantage of Tante's thread to get an important message out there. The day I do a dobie is the day I use a smiley face. Or write a landmark thread.

These are all things you disdain?

Nah, it'll be Easter. He gave those things up for lent. [Razz]

Posted by Dante (Member # 1106) on :

Icarus, yes. I also disdain responding to any questions asked by people named for mythological characters.

Actually, I probably could hit 1000 posts around Easter...hmm...

Nah.

Tony Orlando and Dawn-tay.
