Tim, the thin twin tinsmith.

It’s official: I have a problem pronouncing “T”s and “Th”s. I get them all jumbled up. Woe is me.:(

“Elmer Arnold.”

I was so proud of saying this name over and over again, without realizing that I’m saying the wrong thing already. Some of the sounds I made kind of resembled “rawl,” “roll,” “larl,” and some other stuff that were just plain… weird.

I guess people were happier calling the dude Mr. Arnold, especially if he happens to be a bit deaf.@_@

“A quick witted cricket critic.”

Bother. I got outsmarted - and out-talked - by a cricket critic. I wonder what it’s criticizing.:P

“A tree toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad’s heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree toad trod.
But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.
He couldn’t please her whim.
From her tree toad bower
With her three-toed power
The she-toad vetoed him.”

I didn’t know female three-toed toads actually have hidden power.:P Come to think of it, I didn’t even know tree toads have differing toe numbers! Eeeek. This is just making my head (especially my tongue) hurt.

Shy Shelly says she shall sew sheets.

I really have a problem pronouncing “S” and “Sh” sounds consecutively.@_@ Something about the hissing sounds make me sound way too breathy and stuff.
