RIS?
Incidentally, does everyone else read that as "are eye ess" or as the word ris? I read it as seperate letters...

"riss"
is how I pronounce it

also I think it's another "pile on" joke but don't tell him it's been done before because that would just be mean

oh damn

pylon!
childhood yell also often referred to as pile-on

if someone fell in the playground or was relaxing and the shout "PILE-ON" was heard, everyone jumped on them

Ahh, yes!
We had that with "BUNNNNDLE!"

somehow I can imagine this being another divisive issue
like the b3tan/b3tard schism
( Mushroom, Sat 2 Feb 2008, 14:37, archived)

I use those interchangeably
what does everyone else side with?

b3tan
I see why rob dislikes it because it sounds like "beaten"

but b3tard sounds like /b/tard and I really don't want to be associated with 4chan, even by mistake

(yes, I know it's a terrible joke)

Ha, it's good if you get it!
The way I was looking at it was just a mental Japanese thing where they seemed to be celebrating pylons before being suddenly attacked by them. Which still made me laugh.

pylons are the new godzilla/mechazilla etc.?

I read it as the word (to rhyme with piss).
I don't get it either.

Because
if you take the RIS out of MORRISONS you get MORONS.

Apparently.

I smile whenever I see a morrisons truck
and if someone notices I end up trying to explain it to them.

Never try to explain b3ta to someone.
