Sylentknight:
A pretty girl in a sundress has cast my plans to the wind on more than one occasion. :-D
BenRG:
I'm still trying to work out the 'why' of 'Clinnn-tonnn'. Here's another possibility: That's how Clinton pronounces it - he draws out the 'N' sound slightly and puts a clear gap between the syllables. Emily, being Emily, has assumed that it's spelt 'Clinnn-tonnn' and is pronouncing it appropriately.
She'll probably be quite surprised when she finds out the truth. "Why don't you pronounce it that way?" she'll ask.
You can tell that I like the thought of Emily as the ultimate innocent. I wonder if Claire is ready for the day when Emily asks her, as her best friend, what this 'sex' thing is really like?

Perhaps she perceives each "n" as a separate mora (syllable, sort of), like ン in Japanese.

Best I can find is that it goes back to this - http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2854. She was being strange and she apparently found it FUN!!

Somehow, I just can't imagine Helmuth von Molke going out with a pretty girl in a sundress.
