Girl dressed as Han Solo
I don't remember whether you've posted it before or not, but she'd be from that "Geek and Gamer Girls" video.

People who say "Eh"
Sorry to give the rest of you a bad name, but I'm Canadian, and I sometimes say "eh". It isn't exactly formal language though, and you're more likely to hear it from populations that aren't known for their cosmopolitan educations.
"He Can't Do It Alone: Enlist"
Brilliant--this poster should be plastered throughout the US, Canada, and Britain. At least.
Hoth Connect Four
That wampa is clearly an incompetent player of the game, eh? :-P

- I hadn't seen the Geek and Gamer Girls video before. Very cute. I found that pic of her as Han Solo through some searches after seeing the "Super Harmony" dating video I posted in my February 19th journal entry.

- Some Canadians do say "eh", but it's not as wide spread as Americans seem to think. On average I'd guess I only hear it from 10% of people I meet. In particular, one of my (many) cousins and my younger sister both have a habit of overusing it. I think it's more of a regional thing. Most of the accents around here are similar to Upstate New York.

- I just wish I could find a higher resolution version of that "He Can't Do It Alone: Enlist" poster. Cause I want that framed and on my wall.

- Maybe so, but it's probably best to let the wampa win. :-)

MalcolmD says: Now I want to see some wookie on wampa violence. XD I wonder which would win.

I think it's interesting that people downstate think I sound Canadian while you've described your area as having an upstate New York accent. Guess we all sound the same.

That's my point. We're in the same region, so it makes sense that we'd have similar accents. Accents don't stop at borders. It's like how Midwestern American and Midwestern Canadian accents sound similar (that "Fargo" accent that Americans seem to think all Canadians have).

MalcolmD says: I tried to find some online resources to explain "Canadian raising", which I think is what you're talking about, but I just found them confusing, and the term is misleading anyway. The subject of pronunciation is so relative that I think that it has to be discussed verbally rather than via text. :-/
