I feel stupid for asking this (I only teach 5th grade) but I've always pronounced Gyruss with a soft G (like Jie-Russ). Is it pronounced Gyruss like Guy-Russ?
 
You have been pronouncing it correctly. It's not a greek game, so it definitely not pronounced like a Gyro (Hee-Ro) sandwich...

Jie-Russ, just like jie-ra-scope. I've heard many people use the hard G and it just makes me cringe, much like when I hear Ga-LAY-ga.

It's pronounced "Gee-roos"! Get it right! :p:D
Guh-la-ga! Hah! It kills me at work when people talk about how the doctor said they tore their "rotor cup" when it's a rotator cuff.
 
I've probably told this story before but I used to work at a grocery store, I was the front end manager. Every night about 6pm this guy came in getting off work, and bought a case of beer. EVERY NIGHT. So, every night, we did the same ritual. I would be standing at the front desk or something, and he'd come through the front door like a whirlwind. I'd say "Hey man, how's it goin?" and he's say "Same day, different shit".

EVERY DAY he said that. every day.

In his defense, he was probably drunk at the time. :D
 
I'm just going to throw out a random story now that we're all drunk.

Yesterday, I was riding in the front passenger seat on a California highway. The traffic is somewhat stop and go. I look over to my right and the driver of the car in the lane next to us is taking a rip from a marijuana pipe. Driver and I start laughing about it. Anyway the smoker's lane starts traveling faster than ours so he goes a distance ahead of us and we don't see him for awhile.

10 min later, we see the lane next to us come to an abrupt halt. The smoker's car is stopped in the middle of the highway. At first, I figured he got into a fender bender with the car behind him. But as we pass him, I see that he is opening his hood and fiddling with his battery. His car is stopped 3 lanes from the right side, in rush hour traffic.

I pulled out of my neighborhood in Charlotte one evening and got behind a guy pulling out of another residential street. The guy was driving like 10 mph. He stopped in the middle of the street about a mile down, and just set there. So I called the police, and told them hey this guy is either drunk, or needs medical attention, somebody come check him out. We sat there for 10 minutes nobody showed up, i'm still on the phone with the 911 operator. So the guy speeds off. I'm right behind him. He's driving 50-60 mph down the wrong side of the road through residential sections of town, with me following in the right lane, I'm afraid this guys going to kill somebody, going left right all over both sides of the road, driving up on the sidewalk, etc. The WHOLE TIME, 30 minutes of driving i'm on the phone with the 911 operator as she claims she's trying to have cops intercept him. We drive all the way across town, and he parks at a McDonalds in the middle of the drive through or some crap. So i'm on the phone with the operator, she tells me a cop saw him pull in but now that he's parked, he's not driving illegally again so they cleared the call out.

I cussed that bitch out, I told her when her husband gets murdered by that drunk motherfucker on his way home from work tonight, I don't want to hear any complaints.
 
Lol

A guy the other day was speaking about a procedure for a drainage system. I was filling in for the vacationing owner of a pipe company I worked at in the past. He said: "It is'nt rocket surgery"
I thought he was making a joke. He was dead serious and thought he had used a widely accepted term.
