    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.

    Whether Derek is a dick or not is not for me to decide.

    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.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    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.

    I was just talking on the phone to the author of the book I'm currently editing, a book on the Jewish of Boston's North Shore, and I realized after I hung up that I think I occasionally slipped ever so slightly into a Jewish accent as I was talking to him (also Jewish). 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.

    Man I wish I could have seen that. Sounds priceless.

    Oh and yesterday a bomb threat was called in, so for an hour the buildings were evaculated. For a while I thought it was some stupid or cruel April Fool's joke, but then I saw the cop car out front of the main building. That thought went away. Why do people do this stupid shit? To feel big? 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.

    And yes... sigh... sometimes when a black man speaks to me in ebonics, I subconsciously respond in the same manner.

    According to my girlfriend, I only have a Jersey accent when I say "you, too." Haven't lived there for about 15 years now. So, unintentional.

    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.

    Can you give me an example of British sentence structure? Preferably without altering the spelling to sound like the accent, please.

    Hmm, I don't know if sentence structure is the right way to call it (I think so), but say... Instead of "Yeah, he's a real bastard," I'd say, "Yeah, a right bastard he is, that." Something along the lines of that.
