    Wink Teva slap fights

    Check out this film we made for a local radio festival

    Hemo Teva

    Jagger after the stagg party = Drunks beating each other with shoes? The rest is skateboarding and snowboarding in western New York and Mammoth/June. Our local rippers moved out there.

    I think we need a further poll to vote on how "Teighva" is pronounced. Tie-va? I have no idea what you're going for with that spelling!

    Teigh-va as in Neigh-va (the horsey sound?)

    I voted for it since I knew Teeeva was wrong. The majority, however, live on in their ignorance...

    Obviously the life-or-death importance of this issue escapes you. I'm filled with pity.

    I would have spelled it Teh-va, but that looks confusing to me and I thought people would have pronounced it more like tether ball.

    I've decided to call them "tevya's" from now on as a personal homage to Zero Mostel.

    east coasters improperly say "tee-va" - i was one of them until i got out here.

    I am infatuated with the irony of the poll results to the results of our facts, specifically post # 20.

    I'll be honest... I thought it was going to go down 50-50. So wrong was I.
