Tom Waits Tribute
It was 7:30 p.m. The evening stumbled home with its tie undone and the moon’s teeth marks were on the sky. I was shivering as I ambled down the desolate street. It was colder than a well digger’s ass.
A thin and tattered bum hollered religious rhetoric on the corner as I passed.
“Just see if you can come up with a figure that matches your faith ( Read more... )
Okay, no one ever deserves cap lock...
There is a difference in the vowel sound, though, whether you gals want to believe it or not. So-rry. (You probably pronounce that funny, too. :runs for cover:)
I have learned lots about Canadians from watching South Park, and I'm pretty sure the flappy jaws have something to do with it. It's not your fault; hell, it's a miracle you can say "t" at all.
Seriously... I think the thing is, Canadians tend to pronounce "about" with a bit of an "uh" instead of an "a" (short hard a) at the beginning. It's often subtle, blending into an a and w. Sometimes, though, all one hears is "uhwt."
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Note you'll never hear me claim that Americans pronounce or enunciate better than Canadians. I'm not a total idiot. I just think it's funny. ;P Hey, hope you're doing well. I'd call sometime if money weren't tighter than ever. I'd probably write, too, if I weren't a disfunctional schmuck. I love seeing you here on LJ, though. :)

I am reaching some new level of Dork that previously had alluded me.
Or is it Nerd? Nerd implies intelligence of technology. Couldn't presume that. Hmmm....
