Greetings!

First of all, excellent show tonight. Now, the correction first. The "Gyro" mentioned is pronounced "yeero" not "jiro". Second, to all you New-Yorkers: is there really a Gyro stand at Queensborough plaza?

Just Curious!

Yes, Nick you are correct. But us non-Greek New Yorkers say GYRO like "jiro as in Gyroscope". Its just the way its pronounced here whether its right or wrong.

No there isn't. And realistically, it would be impossible to get a gyro and get back on the same train because the doors only stay opened for maybe 15 seconds tops. I guess they used some artistic freedom.

Sorry, nothing to do with Seinfeld, i just couldn't resist this...
	I hang out at Delta Tau Delta at Washington & Lee University.
Last year this Delt, who was truly drunk corrected everybody when they
ordered their Gyros.  He kept saying, "No, No, it's pronounced Heeros!"
Everyone found this hilarious! Now one guy has a fish named Fred
(pronounced Heeros!).  This has been, is, and always will be a running
joke at the house!  Whenever someone makes an obnoxious ass out of
themselves everyone says, "No,No, its pronounced Heeros!"
	Well, just thought i'd let this in!
	Maybe you just have to be there!
