For the non-Trout ensemble, how about "Ensemble Nontrutta" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_trout ).

That was a great episode! Thanks Grant & Martha. The talk about puns reminded me of an old adage:

A pun is the lowest form of humor ... unless you thought of it yourself.

A Google for that adage cites one Doug Larson as its source, but that seems too recent to me. Is there a precedent source?

In Alabama, near where I grew up (Eutaw, Alabama) is a small community called Mantua. MAN-chuh-Way. And here in Atlanta, Ponce de Leon Ave. is PAWNCE duh LEE-awn. In Arkansas, there's Mount Petit Jean: PETty JEEN. And, finally, here in Georgia is a city called Villa Rica. The 'll' is not a 'y', but an 'l', and the 'i' in 'Rica' is short: VIL-luh RICK-uh. This is so common, I tend to collect them as I see them.

Havre de Grace, MD, (Hav-err dee Grayce) is named for a French town whose name is now shortened to Le Havre, formerly Le Havre de Grâce.

Also, the secret code that my mother and sister would use for "Your slip is showing" was "Did you know it's snowing down south?" This was sometimes shortened to "It's snowing down south" or "It's snowing."
