I assumed it's pronounced 'Mary le Bone' (though when I first read it I
missed the 'y' and old habits die hard, so I might say /ma:l@b8u\n/
instead of /me:ril@b8u\n/, but the latter's what I'm guessing it is).

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still
be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.
