Lucky Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) This is a family site, and the above pics are more than a bit inappropriate. Thanks for deleting them.

blind-fitter Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I'm a PJ Harvey fan of long standing, and I have found her to be quite sexy, on occasion, (notably circa "To Bring You My Love" tour). But not so much now, having seen that. Wearing a Spice Girls T-shirt?! I ask you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's lucky that Lucky didn't ban him, I seem to recall Sara banning somebody for a similiar offense. Edited December 24, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeBB Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Dare I ask how you all pronounce David Bowie? Or Cher? LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Bo-we, but I've heard it pronounced bow-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Bo-we, but I've heard it pronounced bow-EHmmm, hard to write this phonetic stuff, but the three variations I have heard rhyme with: cow wee (this is how I have mostly heard it said by Americans, not that I hear Americans saying this name very often) know wee (this is how I pronounce it) sue wee (this is how I would pronounce Jim Bowie, but not how I would pronounce David Bowie) And for Cher: hair (definitely prefer this one) her thanks, LBBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I usually hear it pronounced on TV & radio as rhyming with Know Wee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 in Dutch, Bowie is pronounced as written, and it's correct, like MC's explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 ^^ I have never heard Bowie pronounced any other way. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Well there's a knife called a Bowie knife named after some Texan officer from the Alamo. In this case Bowie is pronounced Boo-wee. That might be where confusion would arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Eek! Tim, I know that you are a transplanted Texan ... but "some officer"? Jim Bowie (Boo-wie) did provide the name for the knife ... but he also gave David the inspiration for the name Bowie (Bo-wie). Jim Bowie, if you know anything about The Alamo is sorta famous. so says wiki Why David decided to pronounce it differently, I don't know. You were being sarcastic, right?

bazooka Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 But do you remember this? Jim Bowie TV show None being from Texas, my schoolmates debated the correct 'Bowie' pronunciation. I thought 'boo-wee' lacking in the ruggedness factor, and opted, like Dave, for 'Bo-wee'. But we digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Further digression: Missouri is playing in the Alamo Bowl tonight.
