Looks like there are some cool things going on around RVA today!
It’s been a few years since I’ve enjoyed some oysters. Who’s going to OystoberFest?

See, without context this is so ambiguous, haha. I'm assuming this is a 'joke' and the outcome was positive.
> I’m assuming this is a ‘joke’ and the outcome was positive.
I’m hoping this is the case because I also don’t know how to interpret it.
Oysters? Hard pass from me, feel free to eat any that are set aside for me!
At work, a customer from of town complained to our manager that another coworker pronounced her name incorrectly (to which she proceeded to call him his name incorrectly on rebuttal, as if he did it on purpose).
Her name: Parham.
She’s gonna get upset with quite a few people if she stays in our area, I think.
It would be even more unfortunate if her name was Parham Powhite. Might even need to take a billboard out to help folk pronounce it.
It’s hard to tell if you’re disowning your child or affirming them
It's a joke. The op does great jokes here almost daily
Forget this casino vote. We need a pronunciation vote. Po-white or pow-hite
My wife who lived here for 35 years calls it pow-hite. I'm here because she moved back home and call it po-white only because I get to say...po-white.
Headed the Hanover Vegetable Farm to take my son to pet some goats. Then home for the second half of the Penn State/Michigan game and a shift at the restaurant tonight. Now that I'm an office softie, these shifts really drain me, but it is nice to have a couple hundred bucks extra in my bank account!
Ah, that’s right, HVF does their fall festival in addition to Red Vein haunt nights! I never see it in action because I only show up after they’ve closed the event and I just see empty bounce houses and tents and that strange spider thing they have.
Have fun with the goats and good luck with the game and shift!
Kickers final regular season match tonight!
> Penn State/Michigan game
Go Blue! Beat State!
Booooo!!!! We Are!!!
Did your coworker pronounce it Parham or Parham?
Pokemon GO Community Day Event happening from 2pm - 5pm, I can't miss this one.
If you know Pokemon GO and Community Days, this day is Litwick and I really would love to catch a ton of Litwicks today at a park near me! Or unless I get pulled somewhere else by someone!
When I first moved here, I pronounced “Henrico” as “en-REE-co” for an embarrassingly long time. I assume no one corrected me because it was more entertaining that way. Virginia pronunciations are wild.
I know there's cool things for adults this weekend, but we'll be at Touch a Truck at the raceway, trying to keep my truck-obsessed kid's head from exploding with excitement.
My pronouns are just she.... because I'll never be her :(

They pronounced it Paer-um or Pear-m. She wanted it said par(like golf)-hem
Where do you practice? I’ve always been interested.
Fiesta today at the science museum celebrating Latin culture
I’m gonna hit up an estate sale then pick up a free baby tree I ordered last month (from a free tree giveaway that was posted here on the sub)!
Whereabouts is this yard sale?
Drinking coffee and watching the bird feeder with my cat. Invasive plant removal at the Buttermilk Trail later this morning, then the craft expo this afternoon!
Got a bit of a late start on a pork butt, but I don't plan on eating dinner till 8ish so things should be ok.
My personal favorite is "Buena Vista" (Byouna Visstah), if only because you can see the light die behind people's eyes when you tell them how locals pronounce it
Special shout out to Rio (Rye-oh) Rd in Charlottesville for a similar effect
If you use this promo link $5 from every ticket sold for the Kickers game tonight goes to Safe Harbor Shelter
You can also go to their Instagram @safeharborrva and use the link in their bio or QR code.
Do good. Watch sports.
We’ll be there too!
Stahhhhp!
Just took the brisket off the smoker for Spiders tailgate. Yum!
She and google maps are both wrong.
> invasive plant removal
You’re a good person.
I also pronounce it “pear-m”, but I still don’t understand this customers preferred pronunciation. If you’re going to use a long ‘a’ in the first half, why do you get to clip it to a short ‘a’ on the back end? I feel like they should be pronouncing their name par(like golf)-ham(like bacon).
got second COVID booster and flu shot last night. shoulders are fuckin sore.
With your username and the brisket poppin’, gonna need the exact coordinates of your parking spot.
YUM!!!! I just made myself a peanut butter and banana sandwich around 7:30am. Was stuffed after that!!! Going to eat lunch in about an hour!
on west grace street between roseneath and thompson! baby clothes and accessories, household decor, bunch of petite women's clothes, some business casual!
eta a bag of misc yuugioh cards and some 1996 star wars figurines just appeared
moved here. Looks like po=white, so that's what I say. Going to stick with it
given the last 500 excruciating and awesome puns this poster has perpetrated, I'd tend to read it in that light...
petite women's clothes eh? I will have to make sure my wife goes nowhere near there.
Me too! Getting a Sambucus canadensis (Elderberry). So excited to eat my homegrown elderberries in the future.
Big turnout! Good to see stuff like that making an impact.
My husband got the revised Moderna booster last weekend and it knocked him out for a day. Then he felt back to normal the next morning once he woke up.
I got Covid a few weeks ago—days before I was planning on getting the booster—so I’ll wait 2-3 months before I get the booster and hopefully get a longer period of immunity.
Got the first Monkeypox shot this month, though, and am getting the second in 2 weeks!
Feel better!
Congrats in advance!!

MMA Institute. Wednesday at 7pm, Saturday at 9am
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. Get better soon!
Your wife is wrong
Kickers tonight! Will be watching from the couch but wishing I was at City stadium
Up the Roos!
Pow-hite is the right way, it's like if someone says Nor-folk instead of Nor-fuk or the even more legit Naw-fuk
Yes indeed. And a very well organized process for pickup.
My fave is either Botetourt (BOT-a-tot) or Totopotomoy (To-POT-omy). Here’s a fun page with lots of examples:
monkeypox, eh? insurance covering that? is it still prevalent? haven't heard much after that initial huge outbreak of it in NYC a month or so back.
same moderna booster. feeling hella crispy. none of the other shots got me like this. bout to be a night in.
Henrico is giving them out for free now that the supply is starting to build, so I got it from one of their free clinics. Not sure if they’re still prioritizing the LGBTQ community (I’m gay, FWIW) or if it is available to anyone who signs up for a shot.
Reported cases are steadily declining but it still felt like it was common sense to get the shot.
not a bad idea to have the antibodies. wasn't the myth that monkeypox was disproportionately affecting the LGBTQ community disproven? i haven't been keeping up with news lately...
That’s very kind! There’s invasive removal happening throughout the JRPS every week and I find ripping them out of the ground to be very cathartic!
I see your complains and raise you Scituate (in RI.) (I grew up in New England so I can say that place and Worcestershire)
I’m working on removing some tree of heaven and some Chinese privet from the rear of my property. It’s so satisfying to rip them out. Once I’m sure it’s gone, I’m going to plant some natives in the understory.
