How to spell my name.

Okay, hi everyone.  This is a public service announcement.

JAMBERY IS NOT A BERRY BECAUSE SHE HAS ONLY ONE 'R'

I know this may be a difficult concept, but bear with me, okay?  I don't mean to be a pain in the ass, but if you spell my name wrong, it makes me a sad panda.  You don't want me to be a sad panda, do you?  I will be crying sad panda tears, and that would be sad.

When I came up with the handle (more than 10 years ago, I must point out), I did not mean for it to be confused with a berry one uses for jam.  Though it is pronounced the same, a jam berry and a jambery are not the same thing.  Like any other homophone, we are two separate concepts.  Please do not try to make jam out of me.  It will not be tasty, what with the sad panda tears and all.

If you tried to gambol in a casino, they would kick you out.  Gambling through the hills doesn't make much financial sense, either.  You wouldn't try to dig a burro or ride a burrow.  If you tried to wade in the serf, I would be very concerned.  One who has won is very lucky, but who has won one?  Neither the reign nor rein in Spain stays mainly in the plain.  If you were a criminal, you would most definitely not go on the lamb.  A toad that toed the line will not get towed.  Or something.

In conclusion: jambery is not, nor will she ever be, a berry or a jam.  Because she is spelled differently.  Thank you.

@ginger: Nope. I'm not "noisy merrymaking". In fact, you could argue I'm not noisy or merry at all.

If I pronounce it with a French accent, it makes your name really ou la la.

The jamberies taste like jamberies!

jambery said, (272 days ago)

@Tim: and are therefore probably not delicious.

Tim said, (272 days ago)

I'm sorry you don't taste delicious. :(

I suppose this isn't the time to confess that every time I see your name I hear Gonzo singing 'Jamboree' in my head?

@V1ps: it's okay. The Muppets are cool.
