Imagine if you woke up one day and you were John Rhys-Davies

[The Tomtrek]

What an awesome day that would be.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I would love to wake up and be Jonathan Rhys Mey...
oh.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Nice booming voice.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'd look for people digging then laughingly tell my friends that they're digging in the wrong place.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I'd call everyone "blithering fools!!"

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'd call up Jerry O'Connell and be like "SUP BRAH."

 

[NeonMercuryASH]

i bought a five pound bag of long grain rice and a pound of beef kielbasa.

 

[FBI parte due]

I'd add a couple pounds of kale and some chicken broth and make that a soup.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I'd make Rhys & Beans for MEXICAN NIGHT.

 

[Filthy Whore]

So is Rhys pronounced "rice" or "reese"? Cuz I've seen it both ways in the picture shows.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

"It is pronounced [r̥ɨːs] in North Wales, [r̥iːs] in South Wales, and /riːs/ in English."


You're welcome.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Yup, the English one is how I pronounce it.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Did he end up in a rape camp for all eternity in Sliders or was that just the girl?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I thought he got killed off a couple of seasons before it ended? But maybe they resurrected him and he fought Robin Sachs for three more seasons, as I did have a lot of piano lessons around that time...

 

[The Tomtrek]

He died mid-way through season 3 to get replaced by Kari Wuhrer, because she had bigger breasts than him.

 

[Aquehonga]

Dr. Sam Beckett would love this thread!

 

[Filthy Whore]

"It is pronounced [r̥ɨːs] in North Wales, [r̥iːs] in South Wales, and /riːs/ in English."


You're welcome.

Do you have a different set of letters on your keyboard? I'm unfamiliar with arr lowercase dot crossed eye faint gray symbol ess.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

r̥

The little degree-like circle presumably denotes a rolling of the R since it's in the Welsh but absent from the English pronunciation. The rest is a total mystery.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Oh yeah, I FINALLY have a reason to link to THE BEST WEBSITE EVER about Sliders behind the scenes drama. Here's the section about JRD leaving...

But the whole thing is great!

(I'm just assuming it's not all bullshit.)
