The Origins of 'Kilin'

Posted by Castypher on April 2, 2008, 9:33 a.m.

First of all, let's start off with how gullible everyone here is. It's A.pril F.ool's, where people are supposed to play p.ranks on each other. I'm surprised by how many users here aren't smart enough to figure this stuff out.

I'm not one for p.ranks, but to avoid getting yelled at, I'm not going to say anything regarding the recent p.ranks. That'll be up to the ones with the idea whether or not their secret is revealed.

Now, onto the blog. Half of you guys don't know how to pronounce, or even spell my name. Let's clear things up really fast.

Pronounce with me, guys

K I L I N

Note there is only one "L"

Now, there are two ways to pronounce this. I don't really care which one, but anything else is wrong and will be thrown into the Recycle Bin.

Kee - lin

or

Kill - in

(The emphasis is always on the first syllable)

While we're on that matter, let me just say this was not in any way meant to be seen as:

KILLING

Those little deals on ST, like "I killed Kilin. That's ironic." really piss me off, because half of you guys who do that obviously can't read or spell.

Here's how the name "KILIN" was invented:

Remember Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and the dwarves within the story? One dwarf's name was "KILI," so I added another letter, and thus, "KILIN" was born.

Now, you understand, right? No more excuses.

~KILIN

I always thought it was pronounced "Killin'"

Like "killing" without the "g".

Also, I'm Turkish, and there is a type of rug here called "Kilin". In fact, we own one. They're huge.

Actually, rug would not be correct. It's carpet.

Sorry, Kolang, what did you say?

Killeen… K-I-L-L-E-EN… so the emphasis is on the end part? Funny that…

@PY, smallperson, and VP: You guys are now all on my hate list, except for PY, because he's on mah friends list.

@serprex: Very nice little joke there. I told you people would pick at ONE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR that someone with decent grammar makes.
