I figure that I will be away for almost 4 days on this run. That should be ample time for everyone to decide if its doable or not.

The way I see it, those that think it a bad idea, simply won't participate. Those that do, but have reservations about posting it publicly, well we can just post it via the Pm's.

I figure, anyone who participates can post here, and the rest of us can shoot them a message with the link.

Anyway, while I am away you will need to decide on "What to say" and "If you wanna say it"

Carry on gents.

(please post if you are a yes vote)

I voted 1, only so I can shatter some illusions about what a "British" accent sounds like <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

/me voted "1" also, but.. I couldn't say so until someone else had posted.

Silly Snarkpit won't allow double posting. (or its not supposed to)

As for shattering any illusions, I think its a disillusion to think that it can be done. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

bwahahaha...

Seriously, I am still giggling.

As far as accents go, I have heard perhaps a couple dozen distinct ones but the only one I like, is northern New England. The accent from a person from Maine is great. The accent from Cajun Louisiana is a close second.

Georgia and Kentucky are about the worse, followed closely by Tennessee and Arkansas. Try living here most of your life and hating listening to the locals.

I do however find the British accents most humorous. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/rofl.gif">

Gwilly, I can't wait to hear your accent. Northerners sound odd.

I voted 1 because I like accents and languages.

Not only should we have a sentence to be pronounced in english, but it should be translated into the users native langage(s) too.

and, how pray tell would we know? Fraggard could say in perfect Indian that Missouri folk suck mule dung. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

Hell, we have a gosh honest Peruvian, I can just imagine some Inca or Mayan or whatever those purdy natives were down yonder.

*giggles*

I trustem and YEAH, I'd like to hear my name said in many ways... Asshole, isn't my true name BTW guys.

  1. peruvians were Incas
  2. I know enough about indo-european languages to tell if someone is translating the sentence.
  3. Missouri folk do NOT suck mule dung. We eat it with a knife and fork like EVERYONE else.

They may not but, I have seen several hundred of those black buggies roaming about and I bet you they suck horse flatulence more than fresh air. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

I like this idea. I don't think it matters that I won't be able to understand what they're actually saying... just hearing different languages will be fun, and my respect for all you bi/tri/quadlingual people will increase!

The accent from Cajun Louisiana is a close second.

Heh.. I'm from fairly deep Cajun Louisiana territory. Sadly, I've moved so much that my accent isn't strong.

I gave a good vote for 1 because umm, audio. Good stuff. I'll have to figure out how to strip audio from video since the only mic I have is in my camera. Decent enough quality, at least for this.

Hugh, you cannot get a 3 dollar mic someplace?

Hell, adapt a set of headphones from a walkman. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

My camera has sound options. If you sort it out, gimme a yell. I am curious.
