I can't click that link since I'm at work but I'll just assume it's a link to The Nanny opening sequence and that you're a dick.
No, it's some kid dancing the FUCK OUT to the theme song.Quote:

Gmail's April Fools joke got me.
Adult Swim's April Fools joke last night was ... stupid as hell.
I think the insidious catchiness of that theme song is what kept that show on TV for so long. It burrowed it's way into peoples minds and forced them to watch.
What did Gmail do? I've been logged in since this morning and never saw anything.Quote:

My favorite April Fool's joke today was Woody Page and Tony Reali swapping places for Around the Horn on ESPN today. Page muting that jackass Mariotti and stealing his face time was icing on the cake.
The work fridge is really cold, and now my root beer has little icies in it.
Mmmmm.
Sooo... 23 years of living w/ my parents is ending on the 25th of this month. Yay.
Congrats and good luck.Quote:

I have no idea why and it certainly wasn't intentional nor, I hope, too noticeable over the bad phone line. God that was weird. Any brain explanation for that one? I've heard people living in another country for long periods can pick up the accent unintentionally or subconsciously, but...weird.
My mother inadvertently does that whenever she orders Chinese food.
"What's the total? 21 dollar?"
My little boner is finally growing up. :cry:Quote:

Happy? Powerful? Larger in the paints? I don't get it.
Congrats on the move, Borner.
Yep. I've been told told that I speak in an American accent, but when I talk to my Indonesian friends and family, I'll have my native accent, even when I'm saying English words.Quote:

See, that's just funny.Quote:

Happens all the time with me and Spanish speakers. Little changes in my inflection, I start rolling my r's.
I grew up partially in Hawai'i, so whenever I meet someone from Hawai'i, I tend to adopt a little bit of their cadence.
Watching a lot of British television tends to leave a hint of a British accent in my speech for the next couple hours.
I'd like to think I don't change my behavior or my speech when I'm talking to someone speaking in ebonics, but I worry that I do. And I worry that the worrying might be obvious.
Heh, I use British slangs and sentence structures when speaking with Brits.Quote:
