So...McAnally's Pub. Really? I'd forgotten how fucking annoying that was in a book that purports to take itself seriously.
Not sure I can finish. Must. Be. Strong.

If Mac's place is an issue, you're probably going to have problems throughout the series.

The Dresden Files. Can't wait for Cold Days...

I think it just hit me, and I'd bet we're using different pronunciations..... Seriously, you're going that lowbrow? Random Insanity Generator fucked around with this message on 05-06-2012 at 01:13 AM.

It is twice as popular as the first name Oral (around 1100 people).

Bloodsage had this to say about Knight Rider:
I'm not sure how else one would pronounce "anally." Putting "Mc" in front of it doesn't change how you pronounce "Donald," does it?
Anal*ly
An*ally
An*al*ly
Your choice.

If you think that's bad, consider that Mcanally is actually a real scottish surname and that there are over 4600 people with that surname in the United States, according to howmanyofme.com which draws on census data.It is twice as popular as the first name Oral (around 1100 people).
There's probably some poor dude out there running around with the name Oral McAnally, then. Bet he just loooved school!

Had the same problem on the jet, since some lab geek decided to label the "Analysis" button on on the o-scope with "ANAL."

I would argue the idea that the Dresden Files series always takes itself entirely seriously, though.

For me, it's like Pratchett's Mr. Teatime; I can't really look at an existing word and pronounce it strangely without a lot of mental effort.
Like 4 a clock in the afternoon?? Really was the only way I found out how it was supposed to sound.

I actually just finished watching the twelve episodes of the Dresden Files on Netflix. It found it entertaining, but I have never read any of the books.
They made way too many compromises to make it a syfy show, in my opinion. As usual, the books are way better, as long as you aren't 12, as evidenced above.

I have the series, haven't watch any of it. Mostly because "Hockey stick? Jeep? Bob was human? Fuck that noise."
Fortunately Jim got the rights back somewhat recently and is looking into what it would take to "do things right"...

No, I think he had it right the first time.
