It seems that Dan and Gav were playing in my neck of the woods...

Beat me to this one then. 

Sorry about that, Snowy. I know this is your thing, but I figured that every rare once in awhile I could try to sneak one in.

By the way, Gav pronounced my state wrong. The 'a' sound is the same as when you say 'apple', not when you say 'author'. Who cares that the word comes from the Spanish language, where most 'a' sounds are pronounced like a lowercase 'o'?

No offence taken. Feel free to 'beat me to it'. I have a tendency to slack these days.

I never know how to pronounce towns/cities. Do you do it in your own accent, how they do it and what spelling.
Paris (pa-ris or pa-ri)
Milan or Milano
Don't get me started on Arkansas

Oh, that one's easy.

Are - can - saw

NOT

Are - can - zass

For Nevada, it's a bit tougher to spell out phonetically, so I won't even try.

We have a place called Happisburgh in Norfolk on the coast.

For some reason it's pronounced haze-bruh.

I did know Arkansas.

In your face.

Just came out yesterday. I want one of those things! (no, not the Mac!)

100MPH RC car.

Prince Rupert's Drops and a .22 rifle.

Prince Rupert's Drops = tougher than a speeding bullet, also known as Dutch tears.

I saw these things on TV, they hit the bulbous end hard with a hammer and it bounced off but ... slightly nick the tail and it exploded, that's residual stress for ya.

Impressive and slightly strange. 

A load of balls.

Paint & Airbags fun.

Really liked that one
