Brian is spelled with an I, not with a Y!

I'm a Brian in my real-life. Besides having my named spelled "Brain" by half of the people who attempt it, I can't stand people who spell it the bastardized way, "Bryan". Brian was never intended to be spelled with a "y". That should be pronounced "Brie-an". I used to just get slightly annoyed when people spelled it "Bryan" but lately I have become enraged. I can feel the shirt splitting on my back. My biceps and other muscles grow abnormally large. My skin turns and unnatural shade of green. And I go stroming out of the room, usually ripping the door off the hinges, screaming "Hulk no like people spelling name wrong!"

Yes, I know, I know. I need to just let it go. But I just can't.





It's spelled with an I, damn it!

Fellow Brians of the world, we must UNITE! We must come together to defeat the scourges that are ruining our wonderful name! First we'll take out the "Y" people and then we'll go after the people who spell it "Brain".
