ann arbor is overrated.

All right, this Hieftje thing is starting to be fraught with, um, pronounced confusion. One reader says it’s “‘Heft-yee.’ Kinda like Hefty garbage bags, with a Scandanavian accent.” Another proclaims, with debatable seriousness, “I cast my vote for ‘HIFE-jah’.” But the definitive answer appears to be that of Shmuel, who went and dug up an Arborweb page insisting that it’s “Heeft-yuh.” So everyone was close, and yet no one agreed.
Or is this just an attempt to embarrrass us when we call in to Hieftje’s show on public-access, causing us to be too flustered to ask the tough questions that need to be asked?
