    We make fun of the speaking styles of the South, the Midwest, Texas, the Valley, Minnesota, Boston, the Bronx, Juggalo nation, Eddie Vedder...

    Oh man, I've been doing the Eddie Vedder accent for years (aka jutting out my lower jaw and turning every vowel to A, Creed style)

    And of course I speak fluent Juggalo, ninja! 😆

    And Canada doesn't say sorry. Y'all say soory 😝 

    I know Americans think Canadians talk funny, but Americans just haven't looked in the mirror enough about this😁 In Canada we basically have one accent that gets thicker and thicker the farther east you travel, starting in BC where we sound like "West coast Americans", all the way to Newfoundland, where the local talk sounds like an irish lumberjack slurring everything together at 120% regular speed and at a slightly higher pitch.

    My big beef with American pronunciation, and this is true of so many regions despite varying regional vocabulary, is that so many Americans cannot properly pronounce the letter "A", like the sound found in the words "man, can, stand, slam, grand, damn, ham", and of course, "Canada". I can't really type out the way it sounds as well as I could speak an impression of it, but many Americans pronounce this slight "ee" sound when pronouncing that A. They don't say "Canada", in slo-mo they'd say "Kee-anada" with the "ee" sound slipped in there quickly and subtly. I know an American girl named Amber who can't even say her own name correctly, it sounds like she's saying Eeamber.

    I cee-an't steeand it, this is true of like 35 states and I've never heard anyone else point it out lol.

    Somebody had a statue that they repainted or brightened up or something, here within the past year iirc. It wasn't this exact statue but it was similar and style.

    Yeah I think I know the one you're referring to, and I've got that one already in nice shape.

     

    Bump!

    I've never been to a concert in my life. 

    We are from different corners of the galaxy, friend. Going to concerts was pretty much all I did in my teens, 20's and a good chunk of my 30's. I feel like I've seen everybody on everyone's lists here lol.

    You know, I thought about this game too as being a long title.  I didn't mind that it was a "Bridge Sim" game.  I had the one for the Game Gear and I loved it as a kid.  It's on my "to play" list that I definitely think I'll get too once my GG adapter comes in for my Analog Pocket!

    For me it's the word "star" on every alternating syllable.

    Like we get it, you're among the damn stars.
