Pronunciation of Handles

It's German, though it shows my utter lack of the language.

Die (just like the verb), and Klue-gay
actually, from my rather horrible pronunciation of German, i think it's pronounced "dee kloo-geh".

Baraendur is a little confusing because it's pronounced not at all like it looks.

Its actually I-rool-yoo-all.

OK, seriously: bear-un-dewer. I pulled the name from a Dragon article I wrote - Every Home a Castle, which appears in Dragon 295.

I prefer kuh-THOOL-hoo, just because it's easier, and he won't hear me.

Famous last words. :D

From the Defenders of Daybreak posts, we learned that Piratecat's login is pronounced RAT BAS-tard.

Back right. SINCE WHEN DID GI JOE HAVE A 40K SPACE MARINE !?
Cobra's in SO much trouble now...

I have NO idea who that guy is, to be honest. Never seen him before in my life. Probably some crazy fanboy who snuck into the picture while no one was looking.

That would be Deep-Six, I believe. His figure came with the first GI Joe submarine. If I remember correctly from his file card, his favorite pastime is to do the New York Times crossword puzzles while in his submarine. (Why do I remember these useless bits of knowledge?)
 

LIH-tul PAY-lor.

Or, if you prefer not to translate it from the Portuguese, I won't stop you; in fact, it sounds quite mellifluous in the original language.

PyELL-oh-REEN-hyo, with a trilled "r". Work that tongue-tip, baby!
