Sinde (how is it said...Sind (without the e, coz it might be "silent", or is it said as "Cindy"? 2. Iresa (I-ress-ah or I-ree-sah) 3. Markita (Mar-kit-ah or Mar-kee-tah) 4. Uli Algor (You-lee Al-gore or Uhl-i or You-Lie, this last especially appropriate considering how she treated Shady) 5. Yark Althu - Yarr-k All-foo or Yawk Alt-hoo? Anyone who can come up with more bizarre sounding names, please be my guest Brian

Iresa (I've always pronounced it as Ir-e-sa ~ "Ir" as in irritate, "e" as in egg, "sa" as in Saturday)) 3. Markita (Mar-key-tah) 4. Uli Algor (Uhl-i Al-gore) 5. Yark Althu - Yarr-k Alt-hoo) "Hey Jim! Get Mon out of the Zone!! And...when do we get Condo back?"
