I understand Chyld fine, probably due to watching lots of Monty Python. Just kidding.
And yes, people do tend to not speak at 100mph down here like up north, but you have your four basic accents: Your hick/redneck, which is uneducated, ugly, and downright irritating. Then you have your "southern belle" accent, which is, well, think Stella from Streetcar Named Desire. Then you have the people like me, who, while I don't speak fast, for the most part I say words like the dictionary says to, and people don't tend to suspect I'm even from the south. Last, you have the most common accent, which is somewhere between the "southern belle" accent and the people like me. Actually, that accent is only the most common among people my age and younger. The southern accent seems to be dying out, except for among rednecks - they definitely pass their accent along to their offspring. Yuck.

Edit: The point of all that was to say that we're not all horrible speakers or hard to understand. People give us such a hard time. I think someone from neither place would have a better time understanding your average person from the South than your average Noo Yawker or someone from Nyu Joysey.

I never said he spoke in an ugly way, or anything, I just had problems understanding his speech. This is due to my lack of exposition to British English. I understand American English perfectly and have a mostly American accent, but I use both British and American vocabulary, because I had lots of different teachers.

You guys should hear some of the Cajun accents I've been exposed to.

I mean, wow.

[Otal Nimrodi]

Accents kick ass.

[Chyld]

My accent is one of a kind. And somehow, my lady finds it dead sexy, so it works out just fine.

Also, there's another video on YooToob, another coming up soon as that ones running, and a really stupid one inspired by equal parts "My Left Foot", "OOH VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE" and "Its 5am, I should be asleep... meh".

Its fun, see.

You have a very sexy voice and not just because of the accent.

[Chyld]

Why, thank you Ms Abbey! And Ms Poetic too, since my rude ass didn't say it!

A video is up, that I've been trying to upload for a week. Yay!

For a long time I have been thinking about doing self video recordings but it won't be of my own voice as I'll impersonate someone else’s voice. I am just worried whether the appropriate clothing or makeup worn by these people might send out the wrong message.

[Chyld]

General curiosity aside, if you'd enjoy doing it, and you think other people would find it funny/interesting, then they'll get the point you're gunning for.

[David-kyo]

Go for it, DS!

I'm extremely lazy, direct link please?

[Chyld]

Well, it's found here, but if you really can't...

[Jane Sherwood]

Wow, I have absolutely no idea what that magical little device said except for, "Everyone you know will one day be dead!"

[Chyld]

I basically started quoting Dinosaur Comics when I was done with Doom Bar. You'll find it. If you're made of meat.

[Spoon Poetic]

Dinosaur Comics rule!

Why shouldn't you eat the middle of a cob of corn?
