I know one group hoping this happens

The TV talking heads DESPERATE for a word they can pronounce:

Scientists fear tremors at the Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano could trigger an even more dangerous eruption at the nearby Katla volcano — creating a worst-case scenario for the airline industry and travelers around the globe.

A Katla eruption would be 10 times stronger and shoot higher and larger plumes of ash into the air than its smaller neighbor, which has already brought European air travel to a standstill for five days and promises severe travel delays for days more.


Call it "Morning Joe vs. the Volcano" (ooh, does that mean we can sacrifice Mika...no? Willy Geist then?)

Fuckin' morons. "Icelandic volcano" gives us all the information we really need to know.

"Second Icelandic volcano" segues nicely into any story about the "second Icelandic volcano."

If they can't spell it, and they can't pronounce it, there's no fuckin' point in trying to convince an American public that doesn't care about any of it, at all, that they're experts on Icelandic geography, language or culture.

Poseurs, all of `em.

Mr. Nearing and I simply call Eyjafjallajokull "Mount Jindal."
