Re: Issa Live 2012!
Do NOT make me pull out ma Texis accent y'all . . .
It's dormant most of the time, but I was born in Ft. Worth and lived there a couple of years. My parents tell me I had the accent when I was little. When we visit TX on birding trips, it comes back. |

Re: Issa Live 2012!
I thought this was kind of funny. Several years ago I was in the Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis, South Dakota, during bike week. A couple of friends and I were sitting on a deck in the open air compound. It's pretty good size area and it was pretty crowded. Close by I heard a woman talking and laughing and knew immediately that she had to be from the bootheel of southern Missouri, where I was born. She sounded exactly like one of my aunts. I turned and tried to get a little closer to listen to her talk. It reminded of my early childhood so much it was kind of weird. At the same time she heard me talking to my friends and was coming towards us. When we met we both started laughing. She asked me if I lived around East Praire which is about 20 miles from where I was born. To make a long story short and the reason for me telling this is she said that her husband was from New York and after they were married he had her take speech lessons to try to get rid of her accent. It is a strong hillbilly, country, run around barefoot accent. I found that bizarre that he would do that but people are interesting..Oh, the speech lessons didn't work, but I guess you figured that out already.

Re: Issa Live 2012!
My lovely Virginia-born fiancee spent many years supressing her accent in an attempt to help ensure she was taken more seriously by the big business/industry folks she's spent her very impressive career training and generally showing who's really in charge. I still enjoy it immensely when she slips an unchecked "y'all" in; she doesn't even realize she's done it until she sees my grin...
