What is your favorite American English dialect?

I don't have a single favorite, but I like the R-dropping coastal Southern dialects (think Jimmy Carter), and the dialects of New England (pahk da cah in hahvahd yahd!)

And, of course, I like my own accent, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Central_American_English , which is also developing elements of the Northern Cities Vowel Shit (so when I say "cat" it sounds something like "ket", but with the vowel held longer).

I want to apologize for my stupid comments in the Glen Greenwald threads.

I was POed and angrily posting before I had all the facts on his twitter comments about Obama raping a nun.

I'm sorry.

Any other fans of Brussels sprouts, here?

I find it hilarious that so many people think it's the worst veggie ever, because I love them, a little bit of melted butter or cheese and a little pepper and I have a nice little snack or side.

Yesterday it was a record 52F in Fargo.

"No such think as man-made global warming" my rear end. 52F, In Fargo, on the day after Christmas. Jesus Christ!

We are not supposed to have normal winter conditions (high of 10F, low of -5F) for another week.

Mr. Electric Universe just got TS'd by Skinner.

Apparently Skinner had enough of his shilling snake oil in the Health forums.

THANK YOU SKINNER!!!
