Aren't you tired of discussing the situation in Europe and having to refer to "that volcano in Iceland" because you can't pronounce the name Eyjafjallajokull. Well, your embaressment and ackwardness are now over! Impress coworkers at meetings! Charm the ladies with your prescient prestidigation!

Introducing the Mambonetics System which reduces long and complex Icelandic names with consecutive consonants into simple to say and remember phonetic expressions.

Eyjafjallajokull becomes "I's y'fella Joe Cool!" All you have to remember is 'I is your fellow Joe Cool' and articulate it in street lingo conjunctionese:

Sally: Hi Percival, I heard your flight to Israel has been cancelled because of that volcano thing.

Percival: You mean the eruption of I's y'fella Joe Cool in Iceland.

Sally: Wow (she heard Eyjafjallajokull) - I didn't know you speak Icelandic. Do you have good Norwegian wood?
So remember, if you want to impress the ladies with discussions about eruptions, just say 'I's y'fella Joe Cool!'

Are you sure the mastery of a forked tongue accent isn't pre-requesite to busting straight into "fella joe cool" exchanges? ;D

Thanks for the laugh! I only wish my prestidigation was as prescient as yours!

Since he was mentioned.... where the hell has Percival been for the past week or so?

Haven't seen him around here.

Nice one Dr Mamboni!

I have to back off impressing the young ladies. I haven't got enough time for them and now that winter is over, there's no need to be stok'in wood fires anymore.

hmmm if this doesn't constitute a personal attack I don't know what does... Though I realize noone has actually suggested or even bunker bust bombed Percival, as far as I know anyway...

Probably he is just on a shill education camp in Eilat...

Btw who is Percival? Is it a member of this forum? I knew this other guy Percival from another forum, is it him?

just like the israeli art students and shopping mall helicopter guys, his gig is up as a neighborhood ice cream salesman and he fled back to israel

but from what i hear his trip was delayed because of "that volcano is iceland" ;D

I'm pretty sure he was talking about "Is y'fella Joe Cool" - the Iceland volcano.

Hmmm... I wonder if a few bunker busters would have much of an effect? ;D

Even if it doesn't work, you really can't overdose on depleted uranium... I wonder if it would sink down to the center of earth eventually, or if Nephilim would catch it on the way?

I prefer the policy adopted at a sci-fi convention for reading submissions:

"Anything the narrator can't pronounce will be rendered Bubba."
