- Heh. My cultivated and pure Southern California accent is constantly
- being assaulted by various mongrel accents which I am occasionally
- subjected to on trips. I have a *horrible* propensity for picking up
- dialects in record time. To this day, a one week visit to Montreal
- resulted in the incurable affliction of "eh?". When I was down in
- Na'lins for Decus a few people noticed upon my return various tell-
- tale signs of that dread dialect -- it seems that my slowing in speech
- and drawl were more to due with the massive imbibing which took place
- on that trip (right Greg?) and thankfully there's no trace now.
- Boston, thankfully, though I've been back recruiting a number of
- times has largely not affected me -- but I do sort of find their
- accents cute in an odd way which is usually a bad sign. Also, I
- know that were I to go to Ireland, I'd immediately turn into a faire
- leprechaun and they'd have to shoot me upon return.
