hey I thought Ralph said everyone should recognize pinheads in public
by the pinhead salute?
wasn't there some talk about that earlier between himself and Signor Gray?
and are you kidding?
as a child, the very first foreign accent I picked up was the southern
Michigan, NW Ohio accent..... some friends moved to Jackson ;)
and I've been thinking about the southern Ohio accent that Phil McP
mentioned.... I'm originally from Indianapolis, and I'd say there's
a band of non-accent stretching along I-70 from Indy to Columbus-
if you go too far north or south of it, or east or west, you start
to pick up the accents of the adjacent areas ;)
