The Awesome Inter Web Morse Code Cadence List is nearly done! I've filled most of the letters with the phrases and words I thought were the awesomest, revised some slightly since it is my list and I am the emperor of the list, and added a few of my own (I'm particularly fond of F.) Some of the ideas I could use a little bit of selling on; G and J are still sticking in my craw (ouch.)

As the comments roll in, I'm updating!

A .-   ah-HA
B -... BOIS-ter-ous-ly
C -.-. CARE-less CHIL-dren
D -..  DAN-ger-ous
E .    eh?
F ..-. full of FRENCH fries
G --.  GREEN GUM-balls
H .... ha ha ha ha
I ..   aye-aye
J .--- 
K -.-  KICK a KID
L .-.. li-NO-le-um
M --   MY MY
N -.   NA-ked
O ---  ONE OF US
P .--. pre-TEND PLAS-tic
Q --.- QUITE QUEEN e-NOUGH
R .-.  ram-BUNC-tious
S ...  si si si
T -    TIME
U ..-  un-a-WARES
V ...- va-va-va-VOOM
W .--  wi-NO-NA 
X -..- X in the BOX
Y -.-- YEL-low-STONE PARK
Z --.. ZAPP BRAN-ni-gan

The first thing I think of is "GOD DAMN it!!!" unfortunately.
And surely ZSA ZSA gabor.

[spatch]

I've always heard the last name pronounced with an emphasis on the BOR, though. G.D. sounds good, though, as long as you don't "dammit" like my father always says.

GOOD GOL-ly!

[lno.livejournal.com]

And for J, and possibly K as well...

Re: G

[spatch]

As the aliens in Toy Story would say, "ooOOOOooo."

[lexinatrix.livejournal.com]

J makes me think of jam-BA-LAY-AH

[markm.livejournal.com]

I say that as jam-ba-LIE-uh

[markm.livejournal.com]

How about that mainstay of valleyspeak: 'whatEVER'?

[lexinatrix.livejournal.com]

I say that "what-EV-ar." =P

[markm.livejournal.com]

Well, I say Winona as wih-NO-nah, so I guess I'll have to go it alone. :-)

[spatch]

Fans of country music say "wy-NO-NAH" if it helps.

[lexinatrix.livejournal.com]

W: walt DIS-NEY - sure, no alliteration, but it works.

[istemi.livejournal.com]

Wow!! M is the right cadence for MUK-LUK! (http://www.fireball20xl.com/slapdash/bb.swf)

[davidglasser.livejournal.com]

It's a stretch accent-wise, but jin-GLE-HEI-MER ?

[ryssa.livejournal.com]

my contribs (late as usual):

1. LOVED that book. LOVED. have just pulled my copy off the shelf to re-read.

2. my suggestions:
G: GOOD GO-ing (easier mnemonic for me than gumballs)
K: KILL a KING (also for some reason easier for me)
P: per-SUADE PEO-ple (otherwise i think PRE-TEND PLAS-tic)
Y: YELL-ow-STONE PARK, or YOUTH-ful YOUR YEAR (to me it's always been pronounced YO-yo)
Z: zam-BO-NI ZEAL

3: how long are you in vegas again? i get there monday.

[spatch]

Actually, I left Vegas on Monday. I am home! Well, at work right now, but work-home!

[spatch]

Also, I like your Y very much.

[ryssa.livejournal.com]

you know, i JUST NOW noticed that my suggestion for Z used the cadence for J. *slaps forehead* doh.

i shall have to come up with a new one, now. MUST... COMPLETE... LIST...

[heliopsis.livejournal.com]

I almost proposed ZINJANthropus, but I suspect the correct pronunciation might be zinjanTHROpus. Also, the word is way too obscure.

[mmcirvin.livejournal.com]

ZIG ZIGlaroid

[wahhappen.livejournal.com]

J: Je-RU-SA-LEM
O: OH MY GOD
Z: ZIG ZAG something (eh, it's a start)

That's all I've got so far!

[wahhappen.livejournal.com]

S: say say say

[wahhappen.livejournal.com]

C: COAST-er ZOM-bies :)

[wahhappen.livejournal.com]

CON-ey IS-land

[qxam.livejournal.com]

ZOO-OL-o-gy for Z? (I know that's not how it's spelled)
just GO A-WAY for J? (not alliterative, though)
