My advice to you is please don’t ever sit in your room and lock yourself away because you don’t think you’re good enough. — Catherine Tate
This woman…. BRILLIANT
This made me cry hysterically, because it’s exactly what’s happening to me, and the love in her eyes is too much to take.

I just posted this as a Q&A:
Mr. Gaiman, my friend and I have a bet going on about correct/common ways to pronounce “buoy.” Would you mind telling us how you pronounce it? (I hope you do not mind me asking you this here. It would just be very fun to turn to my friend and cite you on the matter. I completely understand if you decide to just ignore this silly message. Thank you very much.)I’m English, with a sort of sloppy version of received pronunciation, so I say something very close to “boy”.
Most Americans pronounce it closer to “boo-ey” (which I discovered as a boy, and not a buoy, listening to the LP of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To the Forum).
Unless they are advertising soap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzCe1kxlZm4
Which also does not explain why Americans pronounce “buoyant” as “boyant” and not “boo-ey-ant”

And then I thought, I wonder what Frankie Howerd sang on the original London version of the line about the “bong of the bell of the booey in the bay”, so I went down to the basement and retrieved the CD and found out.
And I am putting this song up here for the twelve Stephen Sondheim/Frankie Howerd/pronounciation nerds on the whole of the internets who will be as interested in the answer as I was.
13 damnit! I will not be left out!

What is amazing about this, is, despite the fact that it’s ridiculous and makes no sense, that it feels really fucking dangerous in an intensely unsavory way.
