Where in the World is Bob Saget?

I had never heard of half of those sayings. I didn't notice a peenie wallie, though. I call it a firefly.

I go between calling it a lightning bug and a firefly. The peenie one just stood out for that question because that is just the weirdest thing to call anything.

I got Newark/Yonkers/Jersey City. Which makes sense since my family hails from Jersey City.

Apparently calling the night before Halloween "Mischief Night" sealed the deal for the quiz.

I think Marry, Mary, Merry was a big one too.

Hello! Notice anything different about me?

 

[acishere]

I think Marry, Mary, Merry was a big one too.

Reminds me of the scene with the lingerie girl from Christmas Vacation:
"Tis the season to be merry."
"Well, that's my name."
"No ****."

Nice name!

Umm... that is a great new haircut yo... it's not that? New outfit? Hold on, I'll figure it out in a second...

That movie does not get the recognition it deserves.

Does this count as a new Sagetteer @PUSH?

You guys should take this quiz, it's really neat! I got Madison, Milwaukee, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pretty close if you ask me!

I got Detroit, Grand Rapids and Buffalo. Living in SW Ontario, I'd say they pinpointed me pretty darn close!

As long as we can bring in the dancing chickens, I'm game for anything!

I've never heard the day before Halloween called anything.

I pronounce them all the same, I can't think of how they would be any different.

The only reason we gave the day before Halloween a name is because that is when kids would sneak out and teepee stuff/egg houses. Probably where you live that happens on Halloween itself.

Merry, Mary, and Marry sound really close when I say them, but with some differences.

Mary is said like: M-AIR-E
Marry is M-ARR-E
Merry is M-ERR-E

That is my poor attempt at spelling out the pronunciations. It will probably only confuse everyone.

We don't have too many egged houses or anything like that around here at all. That stuff happens during homecoming for the school district.

I say them all like M-AIR-E

1 more dessert to bake and I'll be done - that one can wait til tomorrow though.

I agree with you there: - Mary rhymes with hairy, Marry rhymes with Carey, and Merry rhymes with berry

Well, you're wrong....

 

[Nemo14]

But on the "bonus points for the trash-can" subject, we don't have any name for the night before Halloween. Only weirdos do....

Mary, hairy, Marry, Carey, Merry, and Berry all rhyme.

Maybe this is why people say we Wisconsinites use the letter "A" too much when we talk. But we do NOT say WisCANsin.
