I want to pronounce it "Ma-hone" every time I see it.
Who told you that? Mahon should be pronounced exactly as it is spelled (provided you pronounce the letter a as ah, that's always how a's are pronounced here).

When someone at work mentions something about religion or the supernatural, I wish I could be like Charlie Cale and say, "Bullshit."

I love when insist Trump not fascist because gotten around to finishing all the fascist stuff yet
He didn't get rid of congress no but he's essentially neutered it and is frequently trying to rule by the executive orders bypassing it
He has not wiped out the media buts trying to reign it in and flood the zone to kill criticism or chill it
He has deported innocent people he has seized people without due process and he has tried undermine the law
Rightwingers seem to think that ever fascist is going to perfectly emulate the dictators of the 1940s without deviation they are wrong

I wake up with new opinions every day. It's actually quite tiresome, but almost in a good way.
