Oh, I so confused. I see two N's flanked by a chicken with jowls on either side. Why are you posting Rorscharch drawings on your site? This is supposed to be funny, not psychological! Or is that the funny? That MUST be it! Oh, you are good...
I agree with Brutalism (the commentor, not the practice) - umlauts definitely increase your funny by a significant percentage. that's why the Swedish are the kings of the comedy world
well, i'm not so sure about the umlauts. since my name is anna, too, do you think this is something in my future. i don't think i could pull off more than one.
Hhahahaa are you going all swedish on me ANNA. i work with this women her name is SLOVANKA....she has the hands the size of my whole body I swear to you.
when she puts on the Xlarge rubber gloves to grab cookies or me whatever is in her line of vision..she always says to me in the thickest swedish russian accent "my beautiful hands are tooooo bigg for da ruebber gloves my beautiful hands right JB"....picture the fear in my eyes as I respond Ohhhh yes.....and hand her a new pair WTF....she needs XXXlarge....oh to add to the weirdness she throws in i love my husband...WTF does that have to do with her beautiful monster paws...ANNA!!!!!!
Heh. I love it when you give your readers so much comment fodder. And as for the second commentor's comment, I think it's your husband who should have the tattoo, not you!
There's a book by Donald Westlake, Help, I'm Being Held Prisoner about a guy who's in prison (go figure) for being a practical joker. He swears it's because his last name is Kunt, with an umlaut over the "u," but no one pronounces it correctly, thus forcing him into a downward spiral of practical jokerdom.

So do I now address you as Umlaut Anna Umlaut?
Is that like your tattoo?
I don't get it.
what, the moustache wasn't enough you have to use 'angry eyebrows' now??

There is nothing...and I mean NOTHING...that is not automatically funnier with the addition of umlauts. Very nice.
It certainly strikes fear in the hearts of men.

You've got some 'splainin' to do!!!
Are talking trademark patent here?
I'd google it but I don't know how to make the cool dot-ey things.
Ok then. I'm happy not be Anna I guess.
I didn't know you are German!
Love how you still kept the palindrominess of it.
LOVE IT. Very Ac/Dc-esque
Hey! You've gone with Swedish letters - I like!! Yey you! Spelt that way, it's pronounced in Swedish the way it sounds in English..
Or have you gone all Austrian Funky Time on me?
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO!!!!!!!!!!!
my guess is that you would like us to refer to you henceforth, (and forthwith) as:
Ah-nah
and maybe this is always how you've pronounced us but we didn't know, we didn't know! so have mercy.
The umlauts say it all. Is this a new album cover?
Stick with the black. It keeps people wondering. Is this a message to the Governator?
Ahhhhh...nahhh.
:)
However you want it.
confusing name lool
It's very angry. In your face. Scandinavian and scary.
i like it!

No. Lavender is so lesbian.
That's it. In my head I will forever refer to you as AhnnAh.

All I'm saying is, be careful.
amazing how this simple post can intrigue so many :)
Jeanne's comment has me laughing!!!! awesomeness abounds
Does this mean you want to be a piece of IKEA furniture?
Umlauts are sooooo yesterday. The circumflex is where it's at. The punctuation of tomorrow? The tilde.
Tîm~
i like it.
Me don't understand. Ännä means Eh-nn-eh now. Is that what you would like to be? :)
