Aahh! I went to college in Worcester - at Clark Several years before you were in Worcester though

I looked at that uni before I ended up moving back to the west coast.

I can see the bay, but no mountains.
You win.

It is a very unique view.. but it’s expensive AF … I make double the average salary for my province and I still can’t afford anything.

NYE in Providence…

I thought you looked familiar!

At Dave and Busters! … only time I’d ever been to one.

Is that pronounced War-sess-ter, or Wooster?

 

[Mei5ter]

Well the General Lee didn't have ABS.

No. But Catherine Bach's Daisy Dukes had independent suspension.

Is that pronounced War-sess-ter, or Wooster?

Wooster if you're me, with no Boston accent. With a Boston accent it's Woostah.

@LexxRuthless you really do have a really nice Lifetime Movie Network sexy villain vibe going in that photo.

Funny MA story… Had to drive my then boyfriend to Logan and was given instructions on how to get back to our apartment alone… missed my exit on the turnpike and when I took the next exit I asked the toll booth lady how to get to where I was going …. But because of her super strong MA accent I had NO idea what she said. I had to take out extra $ from an ATM cuz I only had enough for my specific distance on the pike. Thankfully I made it home without further incident.

Oh, no! That's so funny.... I used to teach a listening class to non-native English speakers who would be working with elderly people in nursing homes. In Boston, so a lot of them would have strong Boston accents. There's a site that has recordings by people with all different accents, so I'd make them try to understand the Boston ones... it took them several classes to figure out a 20 second clip, and that was working together

On our trip to WV to find a place to live, we were heading back to the airport. Missed a turn so got off asked the next exit. Stopped at a convenience store to ask a couple guy out front for directions. Simply replied with "You're on the wrong side of the river"

Yeah great. Can you tell me how to get to the right side before I miss my flight?

I don't even want to go into the tolls I paid just to move up here. I think U-Haul kept sending me a bill for a different one for 2 months

I think it's actually Wuss ter short o not long o, but as you observe Rs are optional around here

You made me do it. Behold the over done Boston accent: https://www.ign.com/videos/hyundai-...inski-rachel-dratch-and-david-big-papi-ortiz-

Morning, all. Hope everyone is safe & warm on this Saturday morning. Still waiting for my caffeine levels to rise to a functional level.

Oh, thanks! I'd have gone with the friendlier expression, but then you can't see the trackball.

As opposed to this, a *real* Boston accent! (Around 2:35 he just starts talking about his life instead of reading the story)

Funny when people think I have a Boston accent. No way. Rhode Island accent has its own weirdness.

Rhode Island. I spent a day in the police station in Providence once. Nobody seemed to have anything to do except go to the gym and drink coffee. I'm guessing RI isn't a hotbed of crime?

Okay, my nose is quivering at the story you're NOT telling. Why were you in the police station in RI?
