There was a time I would have called you all "friend". That time has past.

Don't go there. He'll just drain your funds, become your dad's vice president at the big factory and then push you off a building when he finds out you're not on the pill anymore, and all without so much as a reacharound.

Machivellian politics aside, it would be funny to hear the (southern) Moral Majority try to pronounce his name. I bet they'd say "Lay-Am". Possibly even "Lay-Um".
Then there's the fact that Liam's not "morally acceptable to them. Not with a background reviewing video games and all.

I want to be "Master Sifo Dias", and at every press conference I'd have that female Kaminoloid CGI'd in to announce me.
I just dig her (it's?) voice.

A free drink would guarantee you a reacharound. Exactly where I reach too depends on the drink supplied.
And not to sound like a complete egomaniac who loves everyone talking about him (because obviously no-one likes that), but how would you pronounce my name then, Jay-sun?

For years I thought "Liam" was actually pronounced "Lie-yam". Then I saw an interview with one of Liam's more famous namesakes, and there was much embarrassment and raising of eyebrows.
Irish names are whack.

I always imagined his name pronounced:

As one sylable....like how I've heard announcers refer to "Liam Neeson".
I have heard many people pronounce "Jason" as "Jay-Sin" (or worst of all) they just say "Jay" -as though I'm a giant bluebird. (now there's a disturbing visual for you)
I've encountered several (idiots all) that spell their name "Jaycen" "Jasin" and "Jacen".

Couldn't you just blame the parents instead of the individuals who are forced to spell their names as such Jason?

NO- in most cases, it's ust the nameholder trying (too hard) to be "diffrent".
"Jason" loses all meaning when spelled improperly. The name means "healer" (not "doctor" exactly, but someone that can solve problems and injuries).
Like how "Michael" means "strength of God", Liam means "cheese eater" and Tim means "dickweed".
