You can . When I was in Germany I asked my gf why they pronounced th like dz and she said it was because they don ' t like to put their tongue between their teeth . Then I got an English textbook written in German and it actually said when you see th pronounce it dz . This was in 1987 , tho , and I haven ' t checked since . Edit Getman <| sep |> I was fortunate enough to attend Butterfly Kisses in july , so I guess 1111 live is something I ' d really look forward to <| sep |> Matt de Boer a true surprise , I thought he ' d either be picked up in the rookie draft or be playing for Claremont . <| sep |> It was odd , thought the Horned One , how people could somehow decide to be good for a kook in a red suit , but not for the Lord of Damnation . As he leafed the small pile of letters in front of him letters from slightly dyslexic children asking for Christmas wishes , but accidentally addressed to Satan he wondered if sometimes the old elf up north sometimes received misaddressed incantations and summons written in blood . Ah well , Hell was sometimes such a drag lately anyways . Sure , there was misery , pain , and a raft of tortures to inflict upon deserving sinners , but sometimes it all got so very repetitive and BORING . Sometimes looking after a little misaddressed mail filled the void in his gnarled and dark heart . The irony of responding to wishes on the supposed birthday of his archrival was a little extra cherry on the cake . Fingering one of the envelopes in the pile , he slit the seal with a long red nail . Well , well . Billy Smith wants a puppy for Christmas . Puppy . Puppy . Where could I find one of THOSE down here ? Ah , there it is . ! Quickly spinning around , the Lord of Hades grabbed a small furry creature that was cowering beneath his throne . This ought to do it ! , he exclaimed , quickly tossing the squirming little bundle into a box . Oh , better not forget the air holes ! That did NOT go over well last time I forgot those for that little girl who ask for a kitten Deftly , he poked several air holes in the box with his claws , and then , with a snap of his fingers , the box disappeared with a poof and then reappeared under the Smith ' s Christmas tree . Tossing that letter over his shoulder , he then quickly slit open the next envelope . Ah , Sally Jones wants a goldfish . I ' m sure we can manage that ! Grabbing a hellish minion by the arm , he demanded Get me a goldfish , and quickly ! I ' ve a little girl ' s Christmas wish to fill ! While the minion scurried off , The Infernal One quickly pocked that letter for letter and opened another . Ah , now this is QUITE an unusual ask , and from an adult no less . Jessie Donald ' s wife has passed away , and the only thing he wants is to be able spend the holidays with her again . Well , that ' s certainly no problem for me ! Tracing a pentagram in the air , he muttered a quick incantation , and with a sudden flare of the smell of brimstone , it was done . He was just about to reach for the next letter , when his minion returned at a run with the fish for little Sally . However , something was missing . No , no NO , he roared , You can ' t just bring the wish . Look , the poor thing is flopping an puffing . It needs water ! Grabbing a container , he quickly scooped water from a nearby river and plopped the fish in . Luckily it wasn ' t quite expired , and quickly settled down happily , breathing again . That ' s a bit of luck ! Looks like the little bugger will be fine after all . Well , off to Sally you go then ! With another gesture and a quick poof , the fish bowl and all disappeared . Feeling rather satisfied with himself , the Hellacious One returned to his room where he could watch the outcome of the recent gifting in his scrying pool . Dipping a finger in , the waters swirled and then revealed the scene at Billy ' s house . It seems he was not a moment too soon , as just at that very moment Billy was opening his present . Indeed , as Billy opened the lid of his present , a smile lit his face and a twinkle came to his eyes . The pool had no audio , but it was easy to see that he was quite happy with the furry bundle that scampered out of the box . Billy ' s parents seemed a bit confused at first no doubt wondering whom had bought the puppy and then slightly more concerned as the pup let loose a small drizzle which almost immediately began dissolving the corner of their coffee table . As the pup playfully danced around , their looks of concern grew even stronger after it coughed up a small fireball that nearly set their tree afire . Ah well , chortled His Infernalness , those HellHounds are a handful . But they do make excellent guard dogs and they sure are cute ! Another quick dip of a finger in the scrying pool , and the scene changed from Billy ' s panicked parents to the home of little Sally . It looks like his luck was in , as he had once again tuned in just as Sally was opening HER present . At first Sally looked a little disappointed . He wondering if perhaps a troll skull wasn ' t the best bowl for her little fishy . Still , as Sally dipped her finger in the bowl to tickle the fish , all the worries seemed to fade from her face . In fact , all expression faded completely . Well , well . , he laughed heartily , I guess I forgot about the effects the waters of Lethe have on mortals . Still , that should keep her worryfree for quite some time . Hopefully she ' ll still remember to feed the fish ! Another twirl of the finger , and the scene at Sally ' s house faded . Next came poor lonely Jessie . Surprisingly , the scene at Jessie ' s was not a home filled with tinsel and trees , but rather a wreath laid lovingly upon a simple carved headstone . Of course of course . He would want to be where he believes he is closest to his beloved wife . , remarked the Devil , But . where IS she ? Indeed , he couldn ' t see the wife anyway . Had he perhaps miscast the spell ? Then , just as Jessie appeared to be about to leave , there was a tremble in the ground . Ah , he she comes . I must learn more patience Beezelbub muttered to himself . Sure enough , as Jessie looked down , a clawed hand burst from the ground and wrapped around his leg . As Jessie gave a silent shout the pool still had no audio , it really did need an upgrade . perhaps THX another hand burst , the ground churned , and he was dragged below . Staring upward , The Dark Prince watched as the stone ceiling of his abode began to shake and shudder . Of course while Jessie loved his wife unconditionally , she hadn ' t exactly been the good and faithful type . The Pestilent One smiled and clapped his hands together in glee . Well , that worked out just smashingly . It looks like all three of us can spend Christmas together this season ! Putting on his best smile , he prepared to meet his guests . Hopefully the imps won ' t burn the roast again this year !
