Oh, ok i see how it is =) J/K. Actually, people i know from "Lawng Island", and "Nu Joysey" both have the accent many think of being typically New York. However, i think the funniest east coast accents are those from massachusets. Like that carpenter guy Norm Abrams on PBS. Its always funny hearing him say his er's like a's and his a's like er's. I.E.: "Carla" becomes "cahler" and "broker" becomes "broka" ____________________________________________________________________ "Bailando en el fuego con un gran deseo" - India ____________________________________________________________________
