Ramon, based on looks alone.

[Sunsetspawn]

Should've been a poll

MOD EDIT: I just added it.

[BillsDead23]

Ramon looks like an obiedient one

[Flea_Man]

hahahahaha definitly ramon

[LazyOne]

definitly ramon......the ramones wouldnt be cum buckets

[Jim McGreedy]

I'm thinking it's more of a Ramoan.

[Iron Duke]

According to the t-shirt its spelled Ramon. Case closed.

[nimsu]

How did they spell it yesterday when they had the 'contest' to get tickets and you had to send a txt msg that said ramon?

[Absolutely]

I believe the text message Opie spelled it R-A-M-O-N-E.
OaPedia has it under both spellings.

Character who is mentioned (but does not speak) in Steve C's show promos. A South American houseboy who works for the "Deep Voice Guy" (Steve C), a wealthy voice actor. Often Ramon is made to do humiliating tasks at the behest of Deep Voice Guy, such as cleaning up his diarrhea, and providing his sleeve so the Deep Voice Guy can wipe himself.

I say with an E

[Sinn Fein]

I posted this thread because I keep seeing and hearing it being spelled with an "e" and the only time I ever saw that spelling was in reference to The Ramones... If you use Google images and type in "Ramon" you get a million pictures of Hispanic gentlemen of varying ages. That is what seals the deal for me, the correct spelling for a young, obedient, brown-skinned houseboy is Ramon.

[SuperGolfer]

What SF said.

[pike]

I've never seen it spelled without an "e". I know the name isn't of English descent but the rules of our language clearly state that in order for the "o" in Ramone to be pronounced as such, you'd need an "e" at the end. Otherwise it would be pronounced like "ray mon".

[mascan42]

I'd think it's "Ramone" since the E turns the O sound into a long vowel. "Ramon" is probably the more accurate spelling for a latino houseboy (try saying "Ramon" with a short O without using a Hispanic accent - it can't be done), but "Ramone" is the way they say it on the show.

[The Stormrider]

The pronunciation, which is more consistant than when it's written out, leads me to believe that it is Ramone. Ramon would be pronounced like "Raymond" without the 'd.'


Pike said the exact same thing two posts up...

[Jayhawk]

I've always spelled it RAMONE

[DonTheTrucker]

"Hoo Hoo I invented New York punk! Tell em Marky!"

[Hog's Big Ben]

the rules of our language clearly state


Our language has no fucking rules. They can't even keep consistent with the I before E shit.

I know, whats up with the word "their" and shit? Fuck that word!:icon_evil

[Tennessee Jed]

i believe it's Ramón. with the little thing over the O.

[shitty undies]

i believe it's Ramón. with the little thing over the O.

Yeah, like the Bad Guy, Razor Ramón.

[zoloft smile]

is this one of those words where you pop an "e" in there before an "s" when it's plural? potato, potatoes? i never did learn how to speak puerto rican.

OK, it's Ramon.

[C Kazi]

what is this a fucking spelling bee? in english its ramone. in spanish its ramon. its all about the pronunciation. english ramon is pronounced ray-mun. spanish use long o's. like it even matters. its just a bit.

[thebtskink]

It's Ramon. No one in the history of man has ever gone by the first name "Ramone"

"Ramon" is a real first name, and its Latino roots fit with being a man-servant to Deep Voice Guy.

[wes mantooth]

I know the name isn't of English descent but the rules of our language clearly state that in order for the "o" in Ramone to be pronounced as such, you'd need an "e" at the end.

The name clearly is derived from a language of savages. Spanish or Ebonics; I can't remember and it's really not that important since the rules of the English language are the only ones that really matter. The correct spelling is of course Ramone.

Now Ramone. How'd you like to mow my lawn? mmm? mmm? mmm?

[Amazingkaddycap]

If anyone thinks its Ramon, then they need to go back to School. Ramon is RAY MON. Thats how the word is pronounced. Ramone is RA MONE. See.

[Bill Lehecka]

Ramone is more conducive to RAAAAAMMMOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!! than RAMON!

[Southern Fried Pest]

Ramon is too close to ramen. Makes me, and probably many other fat fucks hungry!

[Xyn]

I voted Ramone just cuase it looks more like the sound of the name to me, but after reading some of the posts in the thread, I gotta go with Ramon. Who cares if "Ramone" looks better, spell it like the savage we all know Ramon to be.

Although it was really funny that one time they were talking about bands and said "The Ramoooooones"

[Tennessee Jed]

Just because it looks like it sounds, that doesn't mean anything.
DAUGHTER/LAUGHTER
DONE/GONE
BOMB/TOMB

[atxklown]

its spelled as how people hear it, such as Kelsey's "Oh good lord" or is it "Oh dear lord"

[DonTheTrucker]

Of course it's Ramon. The servant boy wouldn't be a good english speaking white person, so of course he'd have a savage name.

RAMONE! Beat on the brat with a baseball bat!

I've adopted Ramone, since that's how everyone else spell it, but technically, it should be Ramon.

[tankslapper]

Since Steve did mention he is latin house boy, it has to be spelled Ramon.

[BillFromNH]

ramone

[HypnoToad]

Stop it

[Jim McGreedy]

If anyone thinks its Ramon, then they need to go back to School. Ramon is RAY MON. Thats how the word is pronounced. Ramone is RA MONE. See.

Dude, it's a Central American houseboy in Steve's insane brain. It would be Ramon because that is the Spanish name for Raymond. I learned that in school when I was 12. And why are we arguing over the gay dreams of Stephen Carr(I spelled it with a ph because it looks fancier that way)?

[Tickle The Bag]

Ramone. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

[King Of Pillows]

My first name is Ramon. Seriously. Ramon Antonio Gamez Fu the Fifth. It's also spoken the same way as Steve's Ramone.
People call me Ramen though, or "Ram on", I pretty much hate my awful name.

[Sinn Fein]

Ramone. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

Is it?

[Plunkies]

what is this a fucking spelling bee? in english its ramone. in spanish its ramon. its all about the pronunciation. english ramon is pronounced ray-mun. spanish use long o's. like it even matters. its just a bit.

What he said. Minus the last sentence. Don't take RAMOOOONNNEEE lightly. Ramone isn't just a bit, it's a way of life. It's also a funny way to hang up on people that annoy you.

[wheezy]

Definitely Ramone. Opie spelled it out when they were giving out tickets. (Text "Ramone" R-A-M-O-N-E to (insert address here) to win tickets to .... ).

Game over.

[Dugpa]

Regardless of the way they spell it, it should be Ramon. It's the Spanish version of Raymond.
