D’oh. I hoped I had edited that in time…I knew no1 was going to use the “duh.”
I guess it’s because my first exposure to the name Josephus was the historian, and my professor in college pronounced it Joe-See-fus, so that’s how I thought of it when I saw it here.
Mr. Sephus is like Smeagol-- he speaks of himselves as more than ones personseses.

Dr. Seefus,
Reply #1: It’s what Ms. Duh sees first, not what’s historically first.

Well, hit me with an ugly stick. I’m a doofus again.

Mr. Doofus,
I would like to respectfully request that you go back to calling me Ms. Dee, and not Ms. Duh. Thank you.
Sincerely,

And remember, the 7 is silent.
When I see “tallworm” post, I say “Tall 4 a Worm” in my mind. Don’t know why.

I think I’m just going to call everyone “Joe.”
well, but Josephus predates Joseph by , like, 1000 years.
It could even be Hozeyfus.
A thousand years??? You are older than I thought!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay older!

Reply #2: Really? I thought you were born Joseph, then added the “us” later.
Reply #3: Really? I thought you were born Joseph, and, judging by the concerts about which you reminisce, I would have thought they were contemporaneous.
I was born Josuf, correct.
Hey, my oldest 2 brothers went to the Beatles last concert in Indianapolis when I was pretty small- 8 or nine, I guess. That is probably the first concert I remember anything about. I never went to another one until I went to college.
Oh, and I found out years ago that my dad is always right.
The older I get, the righter he gets. He’s about perfect now!

So let me make sure I’ve got this: It’s Joemuckenfuss?

(Mark Twain quotations - Father )"]When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

With a name like Joemuckenfuss, he’s got to be good.

I even have a copy of “Josephus,” written about 2,000 years ago. My book is a newer copy, however.
No1, I was shocked to realize you pronounce your name “no one.” Shocked. I have always read it “number one.” I guess you will always be “number one” to me, even though it isn’t correct.

I think it should be spelled out Tteenneesseebbeekkeeppeerr. Lots of e’s and doubled letters.

You are correct, I haven’t.
