It's pronounced "pew-ALL-lup."

Pew, as in the thing you'd kneel on in a church.
All, like "hall."
Lup, like "look" ending in a P (this is assuming you pronounce look "luk", not "luke")

A buddy of mine is from Baltimore, came out to Seattle. He played SR out there, so when he moved here we gave him the SR tour of the city. Then he asked where "Puyayoop" was. It took him four tries before I realized what he was talking about.

Just thought I'd share that with y'all. :spin:

edited for slightly better pronunciation guides
