Why?

 

[mrmax86]

Why?

Maybe my work blocks them. It doesn't show on my work computer unless I take the s off the http. I checked on my phone and it's good, so idk what's going on.

Got me. I've posted it many times and no one has ever said anything, that's why I asked why.

But I'm gonna change it just for you. :thumbsup:

All I can say is , "Poor Bob Kessling". I can hear it now. Did you see that lick by Chris....uh number ?

 

[Special Ed]

I believe Kesling can pronounce Chris.
But I'm not sure about his homeland - Nigeria.

 

[UTP69]

P.S. In case you are wondering, I couldn't do any better...probably worse.

Welcome to Rocky Top Chris! I enjoyed the time I spent on the hill and I am thankful/blessed I received my bachelors and went back for my master's degree in engineering. I've had a wonderful life and looking forward to eternal life in heaven one day. Work hard, study hard, and I hope to see you on Saturday's wearing the BIG ORANGE!

Love the motivation and dedication. Welcome home big man!!

Unpronounceable last name = Good football player.

For Bob Kesling:


Chris Ah-per-OH-guh-nay (say it 10 times and it comes out naturally).


(the k is silent, or so nearly silent that I couldn't hear it when Chris said his name)

(and the "guh" syllable is more accurately "geh" with a hard g sound; listed it "guh" because most Americans will use soft g in front of an e)
