Pronunciation of Sweet Caporal

[Tobacco&Gum]

Funny thread. Actually I had it wrong twice!

About two weeks after I began collecting T206's I was online showing my wife some cards that were for sale on Ebay. When I showed her a SC I said to her, "These are Sweet CORPORAL'S, they're one of the more common back ad's". She replied, "That doesn't say Corporal you idiot".

Also, I thought it was Cuh-POOR-al until I read this thread.

While we're at it, is it "You-Zit", or Ooze-Zit?

Classic! I thought EPDG were El "Principal" De Gales for a long time.

I'm on the "You-Zit" bandwagon

I say Sweet cah- por- 'OWL.

Reminds me of Mel Brooks calling Count de Monet, "Count the Money" in History of the World Part I. When will the sequel be released?

"I don't like your cuffs, I don't like your cuffs, I don't like you cuffs"

I too wanted that sequel, but aside from "Jews in Space", don't think any of those others could carry a movie.. "Hitler on Ice" would've gotten pretty old after 2 minutes.

I don't think anyone can be completely wrong in this thread. I mean, we live in a country where Nomar Garciaparra was "No-mahhh Gah-see-up-pahahhhh" to his hometown fans.. and I'm not about to challenge any of the Fenway faithful on that one.
