Really dumb pronunciation question

[bored member]

Ok. the Terry Houston downpipe. And maybe only the New York guys will know where I'm coming from here.

Is it pronounced like How-ston or like Hew-ston?

Jeez, I hope it's Hew-stun or he is spelling his name wrong.

Northport, LI?! Yikes!


Hew-stun.

first guy: Hey I wanna ship this package to Pa-honix.

other guy: Pa-honix?!? You mean, "phoenix"?

first guy: PHOENIX!! AHHHAAAHHHAAHHAAHHAAHAHA!!!!!.

HEW-ston, we have a problem.

I guess this is only confusing in NY. When visting NY City, be sure to ask where Hew-ston St. is

Houston as "The Oilers", "Rockets" or "Astros".

FEAR FACTORY wrote a song about north port, l.i., it's called 0-0 (where evil dwells). Sorry for the wild irrelevant tangent, but i'm bored.
