“Yankees”

“sirpeteofmillwork talks funny. He's a yankee.
Sunshine talks funny too. Kinda Canadianish.

hehehehe

I talk regular though.”

“females from northern illinois have a hot accent!

isn't that wierd?

i have no accent, i'm from florida.”

“Mel Blanc of course!!!!”

“Sunny talks just fine - surprisingly UN-Canadian, IMHO.

I have a ex-girly from Northern IL - HOT! My first love was from WI... HOT too!

Northern Rocky-ians have a distinct accent.

But the winner is...
Cajuns!
Hoo-we! I gare-own-tee!”

“I theenk Miss Sunshine DOES tawk funny!

She says "Ay do y'all want to eet pasty meets dont y'all kno ay?"

...weerd.
/o:3”

“I find trout to be a strange language. And siamese cats are also difficult to understand.”

“Ever meet Nekkid Ape?”

“I like the way Texans talk

TD, do I have an accent?”

“nekkid ape takes the cake.”

“Everyone else talks funny.”

“Bigfoot talks funny......... all southern-ish! Now ME ... well, **I** talk just fine!!!”

“Funny, you think I talk funny? Does my talking amuse you? What, am I funny like a clown? How do I talk funny, please explain it to me.

Sorry - flashback.”

“These guys talk funny.

I'm with Lee. It's everyone else.

An' Br'er Fox, he lay low...”

“Bill Clinton sounds funny.
W sounds goofy.
Canadians sound the best, "Good beer, eh?"”

“someone more talented at HTML crap than me (not hard)must post Al Pacino, Taxi Driver:

"you talkin' to me?!"

While their at it, they could grab Dustin Hoffman, Midnight COwboy:

"I'm walkin' here"”

“The ENTIRE cast of the movie Fargo”

“Biz -- Southern accent?.. I don't know.. some ppl say I do.. some say I am distinctly from Ohio.. even tho I have never lived there in my life.. Most ppl say i have a sexy and friendly voice.. if that helps.

Gojo -- I agree.. there is nothing kewler than listening to a good french derivation of english.. say in Nawlins or in South Carolina.”

“uh, that's... 'soccer-liner'.”

“Ok, you people made me do this. Anyone NOT from South Louisiana talks with a funny accent, yea. Sho' you right! Nuff said.”

“Thank GOD I left Louisiana before I got the awful. . .oops. . I mean. . . unique accent. Sorry Tundra. I lived in Shreveport for about 7 years so I'm sure you get my drift.”

“Thats ok mountainchick, no harm done. We consider anyone living north of Baton Rouge a yankee anyway.”

“no doot aboot it eh? i find that people that live accross the river in port huron even have an accent. what a difference a 3/4 mile wide river can make.

but those european accents?? at least i can understand american accents.

i have a scottish friend, the longer he is here, the more i understand him.. but his parents.. i always ask them to repeat themselves.. doesnt usually help.”

“My dad is from Flemish Belgium. He can't say "th" or "r" sounds very well. So, when I entered kindergarten, I couldn't either. The teachers/speech people helped me with that, but when I'm tired, I sometimes say "wid" instead of "with".

nwckd! It is amazing that people in Windsor speak differently from those in Detroit. There is also a major speech division following a line east-west just below Toledo. It's based on 1800s settlement patterns. Those below start talking a little like southerners. Those above talk more like northerners.”

“Its those damn rude FRENCH that talk funny! They don't even have the courtesy to speak English!”

“Un petit d'un petit
S'etonnes aux Halle...

(au reservoir)”

“The British speak funny. THEY wrote the friggin' language but persist in pronouncing the "a" as an "r" and an "r" as an "a" at the end of words.”

“There's a Mason-Dixon line in Ioway, too. Those south of I-80 talk all southun, y'all. Why, god knows??”

“I think Sunshine wins hands down. Everytime she tries to say, "I want your man meat." It sounds like she is saying, "You are dickless."

I love that accent!”

“Bacpac, that was unpleasant.”

“I'm a southern boy but Naked Ape speaks SOUTHERN. He damn near makes me sound like a Yankee! No Sh!t!!”

“reformed, I agree. It was unpleasant for me the first time I heard it too. But by the time I heard it half a dozen more times I realized that being dickless, was not really so bad.

I realized that, being dickless must really be a demeaning experience for the lesser half of our species. How inadequate Sunshine must really feel? Then I considered what it would be like to be nutless! I mean not having a set of balls, must be horrific!

Well then I felt all rosy! Being called dickless by someone who is nutless is kind of a compliment.

Don't ya think?”

“bacpac
That's some deep thinking.
I bow down to the King of wierdsh!t.”

“Watch it! Lower and a little to the left.”

“As renowned Southerner Lewis Grizzard used to say, "GOD talks like this!" That was in my best deep Southern voice.”

“Deeper or lower?

Now, I am starting to sound funny.

ack!”

“There is a southern/northern speech pattern line in Indiana, too. It runs basically east to west, and lies just a little north of Indianapolis.”

“As a Michigander from age 4 (and with native Michigander parents to even cover those four years) I assume I have a solid Great Lakes accent that has only been enhance by slowly working my way farther north. But the obviousness of the Yooper influence on my dialect/accent was cemented when my wife and I were at a reception for foreigners while we were in China. I was in the buffet line when two women came up to me and said, "Hi, we're Canadians, too! We're from Alberta. You're from Ontario aren't you?" I laughed and said, yeah, Ontario about 3 hours west of the Soo on the Michigan side of Superior.

I hope this Wisconsin stint doesn't ruin my Yooper-inflected accent, eh?”

“I do not talk funny,... just southern, but Lizs sounds like a valley girl. LOL”

“Hey, Pekka!

Something similar happened to me. I was at Big Bend in Texas when a nice man from Kitchener, ONT walked up. He'd noticed our accents. So, we had a few moments of northern kinship.

I've noticed a little "eh" creep lately around here. And a curling club has just opened in Detroit. Keep close to the hog line!

rl”

“Reformed, there are some curling clubs still operating in Wisconsin, too. What to do with all those frozen lakes for six months of the year, eh? Especially if da bowlin' alley is closed.”

“Every time I go to Tennesse, my family always remarks at my wonderful accent. I'm thinking the same thing about them..”

“Hur-ry!

I think Sandra Schmerler could have given Earl Anthony a run for his money.

Sorry, just a little bit of curling humour. Last rock anyone?

rl”

“Bacpac, Have you been studying Freud again?”

“Caught me.”

“Curling ... hog line ... last rock ... this is beginning to sound interesting - too bad there is no good ice around here, just that stuff one slips on while on the trail causing one to slide into the mud - oh well.

HOI”

“sirpeteofmillwork talks funny. He's a yankee.
sunshine talks funny too. Kinda Canadianish.

hehehehe

I talk regular though.

oh man you are so dead!!!!!!

I talk regular though.......my @ss you do!! you southerns talk like ya got an unmentionable stuck in ya'll throat

“I have to admit that I do have an accent but bacpac, that's just wishful thinking. You can dream, too.”

“Did she just say she dreams about me?

Man I love that accent.”
