Still fightin' that old devil, Writer's Block

As seen on [livejournal.com profile] deanbear25's LJ :)

This here makes perfect sense--growing up in the service and living most of my young years overseas on a military base ment not much of an accent. Our teacher's were basically accentless, my dad was very careful to scrub the southern out of his voice, and my mom had a slight German accent. So this is what you get. Neutral. I probably have a bit of a Jersey accent, but I don't think much of one. Least ways, I'm clinging to that idea--hah! It's also true I don't have much of a local identity. Even though I've lived in the same town now for 20 years, I'm still just waiting to move.

What American accent do you have?

Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with.

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?

Well I'll be tarred and feathered if I know, but I a' reckon that quiz is more backwards than a chicken puking horse shit.

Say, you know Bayrock Ohbayma was born not here in the US of A, but in a space ship filled with communist muslims?
