it has recently come to my attention that some people are confusing the elusive nauga with the ancient "naga" referring to snakes... so i feel the need to clear up this confusion... around and about some time ago, you could buy something called naugahyde...

"Nau·ga·hyde Audio pronunciation of "naugahyde" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nôg-hd)

A trademark used for an artificial leather made of vinyl-coated fabric."

Now, it has been supposed that this comes from the sacred naugas... a tiny little critter that has 6 legs and looks something like a woolly mamoth without the tusks...

I have recently come to know the kin of the naugas in a dream... (yep, a dream encouraged by lots of generic cough suppressant)... they were called narides... and they walked on two feet just like you and me...they were the evolved version of the nauga and they wanted revenge... and I came to know that the little naugas are real... so all of you d&d people out there, get your stories right... alll these little naugas giving their lives for you vinyl upholstery... and you don't even know they exist... shame on you!!!

Knowing how to spell what you think you're talking about is pretty handy and often helps you avoid embarassment.

I also <3 the people who hate grammar nazis because they unintentionally make me laugh so often.

Hmmph!
I always thought that naugas were what they made Spam from.. Little square critters, skinned, amputated, and shoved in a can...
