Syd Barrett: founder of Pink Floyd

 

I would have never guessed. Founder but didn't stick around very long.

 

X1,000,000

 

Similar to Peter Green. FMac fans say who?

 

I keep wanting to say cha pol' tee. But it's spelled cha po' tull... Which is it?

 

Chi-pote-lay (not Chee-pote-lay)...at least around here. I've also heard Cha-pote-lay.

 

See that's what bothers me - it doesn't flow well. Chi pote (as in tote) lay is awkward as a 3 syllable pronunciation. Why can't those messicans speak english!?!?
They'd fail my class!

 

I always hear people pronounce it chi-pote-lee, but you have to consider the source #hillbillies

 

Spanish is so ****ing easy to pronounce. Each vowel only has one pronunciation to it.

i is a long e like in burrito

o is a long o like taco

And è is the long a like in olé

so it's chee poat lay

Of course they don't use the é in their spelling so they've screwed it up

So I guess it would be chee poat luh which I've never heard anyone say

 

If I'm going to learn a language I'd rather learn ancient Hebrew. Eff vowels!! We don't need no stinking vowels!! lol
.

 

In this day and time, I'd say Chinese would be the most beneficial.

 

Try it!!



Hard to believe that place is so good, when IIRC they are owned by McDonald's.

 

I looked it up and they are not owned by McDonalds. They are a publicly traded company on the NYSE. CMG. They do however have two retired officers of McDonalds serving currently in their board of directors.

 

I noticed their stock the other day on one of the market channels and was a bit shocked to see the price of it, and what its done over the last 4-5 years.

I don't get it. I checked their website, and they've got like 5 things on the menu. WTF?

 

Fruit and yogurt.... Again. **** summer

 

That looks healthy, probably what I should have had tonight instead of a grilled dog.

 

Aah ok thanks for clearing that up. I was gonna say the apple falls very far from the tree lol

 

Ah, but Italian is the most beautiful.

Tonight for dinner, pollo saltimbocca.

 

After further research they were pertly owned from like 1999-2004 by McDonalds. Never wholly. And since 2004 McDonalds has fully divested all stock. They made a tidy profit from the sale. Sold their stake for like $1.5b when the stock went public.
