Aye, it's aboot tam

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Sometimes I'm surprised at how much response I'll get for a question. For example, yesterday sparked more responses and discussion than I would have ever guessed. I also would have never guessed that every single respondent was at least 5 hotness points higher than me.
FYI: The only time I enjoy black pepper is in soups as pepper corns. I love to play "How many pepper corns in your bowl?"
FYI: This morning I weighed myself. Then I brushed my teeth, washed my face and put in my contacts. Result: I gained two pounds. whu?
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
If you developed a neurological diseas that forced you to speak English with a bad foreign accent (but you could choose the accent), which bad foreign accent would you choose?
.
Love,
The Asker

Austrailian! I love that accent! I have no desire to go to Austrailia, but love the accent!

Kristen,
it is genetic...I think. I can weigh myself, go to the bathroom, take a shower, wash my hair, dry my hair,brush my teeth, floss, put on makeup and gain 3 pounds....
Perhaps it is the makeup.......

Sorry, I know this will be a "wrong" answer, but ...

A different accent every week. It would just be way too much fun this way. And how could I really decide on just one accent? Because the Puerto Rican accent is different than the Cuban, which is different than Mexican, which is different than the one from Barcelona. See how fun it is just to have a Spanish accent overlaying your English!!

Nick says it is that the phenomena of weighing differently within a short time frame is due to fluctuations in gravity. One theory has to do with tiny black holes and the other has to do with God just being funny because he can! Bob wonders if there is a difference in those theories.

Nick got so frustrated with this re-occurring phenomena that he made me put the scale in the garage, out of sight.

Wait wait wait...does Texan count as a bad foreign accent?

*hides* I kid, I kid!

I would totally go for Russian. I mean, if we're talking BAD foreign accent. I'd be seven different flavors of 'boris and natasha'.

It'd be hilariously fun.

Also, my word verification was 'disesses' - coincidence? I think not!

If not, then I'd want a British accent with a little French sneaking in so I could become the captain of my own Federation Starship. "Make it so!"

Irish or Gaelic I would think!

A big hug for TamiJean!

As if the commentary about a Texas accent wasn't hilarious enough, you referenced Bullwinkle Moose!! Seven different flavors!??

I am still laughing!

Ahh, lolcats would be a riot. I can haz cheezburger?

I have to go with Anne and try a new accent each week. They are just TOO much fun! Scottish, Australian, Russian, Caribbean, even Canadian with their oot and aboot, French, Mexican...they are all fun. Ah'd even tra Suthen.

I like the idea of switching it around periodically. I would definatley want to try out:
all the versions of british accents
irish
new zealand
german
russian
indian
and perhaps some african

but if tamijean can pick texan and sabrina suthen, I would love to have mid-west. This was reinforced by watching a hilarious television show called "Aliens in America."
