I’m talking to Tyler a while back and he tells me he met one of my fans at a race in Texas. “No shit”, I say, and because my ego is being stroked like Ron Jeremy by a fluffer I give him a look that says “tell me more”.
Turns out Tyler is at a race and someone hears he’s from Atlanta and says “oh, do you know Meeeh?” and not understanding, Tyler says “who”? They go back and forth a few times before the guy says “you know” and puts his hands over his man teets. (Nice, Beaner, hello iDiots!)
“Ohhh, Maigh” he says “yeah, she’s friends with my wife…”
So boys and girls, if you’re struggling with my name and you didn’t hear me say it myself over on liftlift.tv many moons ago, let me help you out. It sounds a lot like “Meg” but not. It’s more like the month with a guh on the end. May-guh. No, this pronunciation doesn’t match what you’d hear in Ireland when you hear the natives say Mayo –> Maigheo but whatevs.
Next, to clear up any confusion about the beau and the correct pronunciation of his nickname, it’s The Mc as in “ay, ya fookin’ mick, watch yourself” and not the letters M and C individually pronounced like someone who spins records/iPods in a dance club. McMuffin, Mayor McCheese, Mc Jagger. You get it, right?
Hope that helps when the voices in your head are playing out your fantasies and you get tangled up in the names of all the players.

I think the first time I attempted it, it came out as “Mayg”

I pronounce it /mei/ . Like the month. Is that wrong? I guess I did not pay attention to you saying your name on lowerlower.tv

Arrgg… I just tried to say it and spit all over my monitor.
BTW, Beaner has the biggest man-boobs out of all the iDiots! Too bad he didn’t make the photo shoot.

“Your seester” is pronounced “your seester.”

So funny that you cleared up the pronunciation of Mc……It’s been on my brain to ask if it was Mc as in (sorry ancestors) mick or Mc as in emcee. But was afeared…didn’t want to offend. However, since you opened the door…..t’anks.

Another outsourced ‘job’. From Wiki, erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra have taken part in replacing fluffers.

Somehow Tyler meeting up with one of your fan’s doesn’t surprise me. I am surprised that he did not meet like 10 Maigh fans. I think the “Maigh Madness” is bigger than we think or know. I mean look at me I am in New Mexico, of all places!! I wonder how many Maigh groupies there were at Interbike this week?

this amuses me no end, b/c many folks pronounce my name that way, and sometimes i get all nutty and cry out: “meg meg Meg MEGAN. like egg but with an M. not mayguh, not meegan, but simply m-egg.
huh–now i know they were really addressing you. . .

Ya’ll are too funny & kind.
Mega - it’s because we were separated at birth, and we’re really part of some kooky social experiment to see which one of us goes batshit crazy at the result of our name being said incorrectly…
