This either explains everything, or explains absolutely nothing. So, do
we call Bob Hope "Bob Kibo" now? Do I have to pronounce it the right way
or can I keep pronouncing it the official wrong way? What does this do
newsgroup morale?
Maybe Kibo can change his name to Menudo.

You fools, don't you see? Kibo *is* Bob Hope!

I propose we send an expedition to Neptune to locate and rescue the One
True Leader Kibo at once!

Imagine my surprise when, in the seventh episode of Neon Genesis
Evangelion, the s00per sekrit code for deactivating the wacky flailing
out-of-control nuclear robot was "kibo".

[some stuff about the kibo space station]

Do you remember the faux shuttle, KIBO-X? There was (is) a link to
some KIBO-X info on Kibo's page (http://www.kibology.com).

I believe it was under "Things that wish they were about Kibo"


There are a great deal of things in Japan named Kibo[1]. I do not
believe that the KIBO station relates well to kibology. You would be
better off sticking with Kibo brand dog food or plush Kibo brand
armchairs. Also, Pocky for men & Pocky for Aztecs. What do you
bastards have against takoyaki anyway[1]?

The Kibo in Japan is pronounced Kee-Boh[1]. The Kibo in James Parry is
pronounced Kai-Boh. I hope this missive brings to you an appropriate

I pronounce it "Kee-boh", as everyone should. Here are other ways I

Ranjit Bhatnagar -- Ran-Jit Bat-nag-arrrrr

Leah Verre -- Lee-uh Vair

Joseph M Bay -- Ricky Schroeder

A local commercial for a lamer bar spells Karaoke "Karoakee". Please
stop accusing us Americans of being wacky about pronouncing things right
when we can't even spell thin right. Thanks you.

When I was younger two people who did not even know each other both said I
looked like Ricky Schroeder.

Then I got older and some guy on the street said I looked like Chris Elliott.

Now I am almost 31 and I do not look anything like Ricky Schroeder no more
and I weep for my lost Ricky Schroederness because if I had retained it I
would be all like a great big tee vee naked butt sex symbol instead of
like some dorky tee vee dork kid. And that is the Tragedy of Me.

I always thought on Deep Space Nine they would say that one of the
original spiritual leaders of Bajor was Kai Boparry.

Alex Suter rhymes with butter! ALEX SUTER RHYMES WITH BUTTER!
ALEX SUTER HAS NO STUTTER, RHYMES WITH BUTTER, IS A NUTTER, AND
MAKES YOUR HEART FLUTTER.

Ricky Schroeder's silver spoon is covered in doots.

And I've seen Fred Savage on campus every single day this week.
I swear to God he's following me around. No, I won't play your

ALEX SUTER (Archie's brudder)
So wholesome it makes us shudder
When he's looking for some cooter
He calls himself ALEX SUTER

Outside, the women dress in suits
Talking of Ricky Schroeder's doots

"ALEX SUTER," we all mutter
"Get your mind out of the gutter!"
When he's using his computer
We all call him ALEX SUTER
