Sunday Sunday

You know it's a good day when the first thing you do after visiting the bathroom is run for the Flyswatter of Doom because there's an ominous buzzing.

On the bright side, inspiration struck while I was still laying in bed. I think I have an equation that will work.

Have some pictures.

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Mid-Atlantic. This is what everyone calls a Philadelphia accent although it's also the accent of south Jersey, Baltimore, and Wilmington. Well, everyone that lives near there, that is. Outsiders can tell you talk differently from them even though they can't tell what your accent is.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Different Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Same

This is funny, because I've been linguistically colonized. My accent has turned into that generic RP pronunciation that everyone at British unis absorbs if they stick around long enough. I cracked Talasnik up with my use of words like "bugger" and "lift".

A certain matter pertaining to calcio

We've all heard the old saw about how if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Inter won the Scudetto today. I was going for the don't say anything option, until I heard what a certain Swede with an over-inflated ego had to say. I like Figo, and I like Materazzi, I think Zanetti is totally adorable, and were it not for said Swede, I would probably not mind Inter winning at all.
But he HAD to open his mouth, and now I have to say, can we all smack Ibra?
