#1reasonwhy

The J makes a Y sound, if that helps.

And don't be too hard on people, Alligator! Sjofn is like. Super minor!

They could at least Google it. That's what I did.

That is definitely more research than I would do on someone I am playing TF2 with. ;)

I just go with "Shoffin". Like "erry day I'm shoffin".

So it's like a dolphin with its head cut off and replaced with a seal's. Sealfin it is!

Syoh-fin is how I say it, you goofs. :P The proper way is not a natural sound for me, as an American. <3

Syoh-fin is how I was saying it in my head but even that is getting tiresome.

But we've naturalized fjord, and I think people are reasonably familiar with the name Bjorn (I think it's Bjorn? Like in Peggle), and there's Bjork, and I thought it was generally known knowledge that that was a spelling convention in another language?

Maybe I'm just smarter than everyone else. :P

In Peggle it was indeed Bjorn, elsewhere it's usually Björn, as in Björn Borg or Björn Ulvaeus. Presuming you mean the Icelandic singer she also writes here name with a ¨, so that's Björk

*blinks*

Oh, wow. I've been reading that wrong this whole time. I always parsed it as S. Jon F., and since I used to know someone who went by S. John... Yeah, I read it as male. Goes to show what careless reading will do to a person!

dude I'm from america I don't use your ridic diacritics

I would think it's closer to "Syoh-vin" (assuming it is some sort of Scandinavian word).

U S A

U S A

(this is also why I say it "wrong")

Say "sealfin" fast. DO EEEET.

Of course, as a Swedish person, I'm more likely to pronounce it [ɧx]ofn.

Popcap's zombie-themed parodies were ace. Come on Google, hook a brother up, here.

I pronounced it properly in the seeding video!

You did! You also said I'm no fun to play. </3

On topic: It's funny, the Star Trek ad didn't bother me at first glance because I didn't realize a) it was for Star Trek, one of the least sexy things in the universe and b) it's a Vulcan lady, one of the least sexy things in one of the least sexy things in the universe (despite Enterprise demanding I think otherwise).

Only because your name doesn't rhyme with 'Can be relied on to crush my dreams of playoff glory'. Otherwise I'd have totally gone with that.

Hahah, do you not remember the olden days? When there was like this huge phenom over how sexy Leonard Nimoy was with his eyebrow raise?

I have heard, and yet ... no. No, sorry, Mr. Spock has never, in the history of ever, been sexy. Nor is New Spock. It's the haircuts. The haircuts are universally terrible.

And don't forget Kirk, there is a woman at my office who still has an autographed photo of William Shatner in his heyday.

(And if we want to go the other gender, there was always some random woman for Kirk to woo, the early Treks had quite a bit of that kind of pulpy stuff(

Kirk is an asshole, he's not sexy either. And the old uniforms did nearly no one any favors (except the little minidress uniform, I guess!). In fact, none of the uniforms in the history of ever have looked good, contributing to my "Star Trek has never been sexy, EVER."

Yeah no, sorry. Sorry! When I think "sexy," Star Trek is like the furthest thing from my mind. Sorry! You can spam the thread with pictures all you want, but it is not changing my mind. Like seriously, that last picture of Spock and Kirk? Not sexy. Just sort of goofy. Also Uhura needs a longer hem there. :(

1960s Diana Muldaur not hot? Granted that's not really down to the velour minidress but still.

EDIT: Oh god this is the #1reasonwhy thread. ALSO I LIKE HER ACTING.

One hot person (I am taking your word for it, as she does not do anything for me! It's like I'm a straight woman or something!) does not a reputation for sexy make.

EDIT: Basically, the entire history of the show could be littered with hot, foxy people (and I am sure there have been many of them!), but the Star Trek-ness sucks all the sexy out. Because it's fucking Star Trek!

Well, at least I learned something from your post, I had no idea that she was in both the original and in Next Gen.

Oh come on, how about Star Trek II's Khan and his exposed chest, that does nothing for you! =)

No.

How about Data? He's fully functional and anatomically correct, you know.

My wife likes Picard. Enough that I should probably worry if she were to encounter him in public.

I know he does it for some people, but man. Man.

EDIT: (off-topic goofiness thought better of.)
