This poor dude's going to have to deal with hundreds of people standing in his yard, beating the crap outta this thing and screaming "GIMME MY BADGE!"

I wonder if he could have possibly gotten his inspiration from CoX.  That would be so cool.

I really hope he has the cackling eochai sound file to loop every so often. ( ' :

Jack's the other guy in the picture. A little daily exercise, and laying off the fast food, will do wonders for your health and body image!

It made him a lot less aggressive too. That picture was actually taken at Jack's house - he and Eo are good buddies now. Their families get together every other weekend for dinner. In fact, just behind the camera, little Timmy in Irons and Lisa-ochai are engaged in a pretty crazy game of Tag.

Just gotta nitpick here, but I'm pretty sure that should be "a Eochai hunt" rather than "an Eochai hunt". Apologies in advance for the forthcoming grammar debate. (-:

See, i never knew exactly how Eochai is pronounced, but if the "E" is pronounced as a consonant that makes perfect sense.
So far so good. Onward and upward!

I suppose it depends on which derivative of Celtic you're using to pronounce the name.

If you use Scottish Gaelic it would sound like this.

If you use Old Irish it would sound like this.

There are other variations of each of these, but they generally come back to the same two beginning sounds.

Since the history of the Fir Bolg and the Tuatha Dé Danann is distinctly Irish, I'd lean toward the second pronunciation as being more applicable, and thus "an Eochai hunt" would be correct.
