The bobble thing reminds me of something - my warmest winter jacket (which I haven't yet graduated to, as it's not as nice as my current jacket, but when it gets to -30 I will look a little less cute) has a hood with the potential to be very big, too. And one day I *did* wear a toque with a bobble on top. I was walking around downtown Ottawa, comfortably warm in feels-like--40 weather, and people kept laughing at me. I kept telling myself not to be so self-centred and sensitive, as they must be laughing at something else or I was just imagining things or something. Then I met up with my best friend, who promptly burst out laughing as well.
I was mad at this point, and asked her what the fuck was so goddam funny. She informed me that I looked like a Conehead from Saturday Night Live, with the bobble encouraging my large hood to expand to it's full height and width. ... Good thing I like to make people laugh.
Accents are really hard to understand. Having friends with different ones helps me to understand those particular ones much better. I pretty much have French Canadian and Indian accents down pat. But give me a thick accent that I'm unfamiliar with, and I have no idea what the person is saying despite speaking the same language...
