I was happy to see Chicago represented by Jean Joho.
Some day, I'll make it to dinner at Everest, I swear! Just because it's there. And good.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Was it supposed to be Jo-el?
Yeah, the accent means you pronounce each vowel separately, as in Noël (Christmas), or the name Loïc. Again, not that one would know that automatically, but everyone else I heard said it right, so it was clearly out there in the ether.

Kat, I'm reading your blog entry for last night's SYTYCD, and I so agree on just about everything, including the hotness of Phillip, the Day 2 tapper. He reminds me of the young Harry Belafonte, but maybe even sexier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You actually pronounce the s, which is an exception to the general rule, so I wouldn't expect people to know that.
I did not know that! Man, I feel like I have been failed by someone -- not sure who -- all these years.

Last night, I finally got around to watching the Top Chef Masters that I had tivoed, only to discover that I don't have the motherfucking finale. I know who won, so I'm not really pressed, but I suspect that those assholes changed the title again, so that the season pass didn't pick up on it! Grrr.

Well, unless you're a florist, or a royalist, I can't imagine the word would come up that often.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It comes up in New Orleans all the time. I suspect we have appropriated it, sans "s" pronounced at the end.

I feel like it has! But I'm not sure why. From the Quebec license plate, maybe. But why would I even talk about that? There's got to be something else -- maybe a family crest or something.

I guess if you can get away with a phrase like "laissez les bon temps rouler" you can get away with anything!
