Today I was invited to join the Facebook group "Muellers of the World
\nUnite." After excitedly accepting, I read "the wall" (Facebook’s discussion
\nboard feature) and learned that I am not alone in being mocked by the clever
\nmany who have launched into full-blown impromptu renditions of the gone
\nabsent <\/i>scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off<\/i>: "Bueller, Bueller?"
\nYeah, I know. Horrifying or hillarious, it remains<\/i> a don’t-choke-on-your-tongue laugh riot
\nafter twenty friggin’ years.<\/p>\n

That’s right, "Muellers of the World Unite" is an invitation-only group
\n(still in its infancy, mind you, with merely 140<\/strike> more than 200 members) largely concerned with
\nmispronunciation: as often mill-er<\/i> or mull-er<\/i> as the preferred
\nmew-ler<\/i>. The seventh cousins and other kin-folk are outraged by such
\negregious treatments of the surname.<\/p>\n

I kept on reading the fourteen wall-posts, and than, feeling good about being
\nsurrounded by like-named people, I found this treasure in the "Recent News":
\n"This just in: Muellers are better then you." <\/p>\n

No, I haven’t been invited to take a leadership role in the group. I
\nonly ask that next time you are tempted to let fly with your impersonation of a
\nnasally teacher uncomprehending of delinquency from school–"Mueller?
\nMueller"–tune the pronunciation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
