Kimmer, Betsy, Betty

Hi all - Looks like you three have some kind of unique language that you share for fun. I must be too out of it to comprehend it. I just wanted you to know that I can never respond in kind, but glad you're having fun. Just once in a while could you put a translation at the bottom of your fun posts - so I'll know what it is you're talking about. thanks.

I thought I was the only one!!! Joy

Hey folks, Boy am I glad we don't have to be PC to post!!! Those of us who consider themselves to be southern or persons of accents, that are subject to public ridicule on a regular basis. Could take offense at you Yankees, and your tongue tied, just come from the dentist deaden lipped, uneducated, uncivilized, psuedo-southern attempt at humor.... But I don't... I just had an online class in Folktales and Mythology and some of the stories we had to read were similar to what you gals do. DROVE ME It does help if you read them outloud.

Va... If I had to be PC to post, I'd've never MET you all...I'm the most PI (Politically INCorrect) person I know... "People Of Accent" (LOVE that term!) are ridiculed? How? That's just craziness! People is people, no matter who, what, where or how. I just have fun with language...in my best days, I was very good with language. And as always, I see humor in it. I love "accents" of any sort, one of my favorites being a heavy ****ney (think Eliza Doolittle), which is just disgusting to most of our English brethren. A brogue is cool, too, if the speaker is clear in their resonence... I mean ABSOLUTELY no offense to ANYONE...it's just an alternative way of speaking and it's fun!

Kimmer, Nope!! NO PC here!! Can't be PC and live happily in the suburbs of Newpouch. we don't have to be PC to live in Newpouch do we? You scope it out and let me know!! My son loves to do accents. He'll pick scenes from movies and perform them in a different accent from the original. Funny thing when he has his head sets on and is singing along with his CD player in the car, he sings with a British accent!!! Even the Brits don't sing with a British accent!!! When he can hear himself sing...no accent...very strange. He does one accent that he calls his "Pakistani Taxi Driver" that is just "fall down on the floor" funny. Keep up the good work!!!

OMG, your son and I would get along splendidly! I have a dear friend who's Panamanian, and her and HER son are always teaching me new accents (pretty scary to realize there was another woman...AND her son...who were as twisted as I am, and both within the same employ!). Her kid, Paul, taught me what they term their "Buddhist" accent. Sorta like how I sound with a headcold and sore throat...no intonation at all, just totally FLAT speaking. Close your eyes and picture Musharref... Hmm...the apple don't fall too far from the tree, eh? He's GOT to be a great kid to be able to pull THAT stuff off!! BTW, I've picked up several NEW accents while doing my stealth recon on other boards... Kimmer Woman of A Thousand Tongues Zero-minus-15 and counting!

Kimmer, Use said it zackly right. Louise, sure you can respond to us, just spell the words like they sound. One thing we do not do is leave anyone out, and we are here to add a little humor to a pretty stressful sitseeation. Would you believe I work in education, hehehe. Da Judge
