For the better or worse?

^^^Forever! 😄

Americans have very nearly destroyed our own regional cultures, thanks in great part to the nightly news which has the anchor read in a mostly neutral dialect favored by marketing focus groups.

^^^Dont know what ya'll talkin' 'bout Newk! : p

AKA i lost my accent (think Andrew Dice Clay) after joining the Army, being exposed to ppl from all over the US.
Its fairly neutral now.

Well that ruins the overall mental image I had of you, re-calibrating...

The DIs in basic nicknamed me Dice, actually. They'd have me read stuff out loud just to hear the accent.
****ers. 😛
I still remember all 3 of their names, over 25 years later!

I still have all my Andrew Dice Clay albums somewhere.

I wish i did.
I should check for his stuff on YouTube. Hadnt ever thought of doing that!

That's a good idea, I got an app for downloading youtube videos as mp3s so i can listen to comedy while I'm working out.

Have you ever seen a Shark in the Austrilia water?

In YOUR opinion.

I liked Sam Elliot's Caretaker best in the GR movie. Old west GR? Awesome.

Agreed, highly maligned movie that was better than it had any right to be.

Let that stuff cool off first or you're going to have a bad time.

Good old fashioned question for Gen:

Boxers or briefs?

Really it's not I'm Batman so if it was a great line it would have been used more, and quoted as much as I'm Batman.

Don't play with the Hellfire of the Spirit of Vengeance.
You're playing with Hellfire of the Spirit of Vengeance.

Both of those are terrifying great lines that the Ghost Rider could have used.

And if the villain ever stops laughing he'll fire back with...

"Oooh what ever will I do, I played with the Hellfire of the Spirit of the Vengeance of the Ghost of the Rider."

Seriously, too many 'of' in there takes too long to say.

All GR has to do is growl "LOOK INTO MY EYES!!" And every single punk in the area is crapping their pampers.

This is getting into Storm "you know what happens when a toad gets hit by lightning" territoty...

What superheroes do Australians relate to?
