The cat died today, so I'm a bit on the sad side right now.
Also, why do people say "marry-o" instead of "Mario"?

Sometimes I say it like that mockingly, much like how I say Pokemans and call every video game system a Nintendo.

That Marry-O and Sonic at the Olympic Games commercial galled the heck outta me.

I found that "Marry-O" is sometimes due to a New Yorker accent. My friend at college and my dad, and my grandparents are all from New York and they all pronounced it as "Merry-O."

My entire family and I pronounce it as "Marry-O", and we're all in New York.

Yeah, but the guy on Into the Score does not have a New York accent, but he still says Marry-o.

I've taken to calling Sonic "Soh-nik" because of that.

I call him (with good old midwestern verve) "Sahn-Ick".

Stop making fun of my coast.

The Pwnerer pronounces it Merry-O, and the first couple times he talked about Mario games, it threw me. I didn't know what the x he was talking aboot. But he's from Canadia.

Well, they say it like that in Rawest Forest, but that's only so it's more alliterative with "Marrymore".

The original version of the SMRPG Song pronounces it correctly.

I lost a friend because I wouldn't walk two hours in the 85 degree heat tomorrow to eat at a Cici's just because "he wanted pizza", even though the place we were going to be had a local Pizza Hut.
