I've heard that some regional dialects of English are more or less incomprehensible, but it's interesting to see some of the details.

In the movie Snatch, Brad Pitt plays a gypsie that lives in a "caravan". One of the most amusing dialects I have heard.

A much better and authentic regional accent is this example of a Glaswegian accent.
Warning some authentic Anglo Saxon phrases are used in this clip.
After listening to the tuba solo in the theme song go to 6.30 for subtitles.

I am not an expert on $999 barbecue grills or tonguing Stars & Stripes Forever; I'm not even an expert on tonguing Stars & Stripes for a few moments.

I am. But having taken an oath of secrecy, I am no longer at liberty to share anything I know with anyone.

Today is Bloom's Day

What a GREAT book. Just finished it, actually the only book that I have ever reread (4x) in my life. The top of my bucket list is taking a walking tour (and some motorized) of his journey of that day.

And I am still crossed eyed at the 37 page run-on sentence.

Painting has started, money is being saved for a real wood floor (thanks for the input). New TV is hooked up and has initiated conversation about bailing from cable TV (utilizing search function for input). 2 of my 3 concerts for the week have been played, and the first parade of the season has been marched in. My gas grill died, and a 18" Weber charcoal grill was christened last night. My sister in law is moving to Germany in August, and I will soon own my own King brass sousaphone, thanks to Jim Newell.

The Things You Find in Tubas, Item 6,793: Nintendo 64 Memory Cartridges from 1996



This was very tightly wedged into the bottom bow of this little tuba and had been there since before I purchased it in 1998. It played fine. The cartridge seems to be in excellent condition. Any takers? HAHAHA!!!

[bloke]

...and you expect that tuba to play in tune with some of its parts removed...??

[The Jackson]

Ah... The memory card along with the rumble pak defined the dark alleyway of chichi accessories for the normally-modest Nintendo 64. You've got a winner, Wade.

At $9.99 new you can't beat it! I bet mine, being "vintage", is probably worth at least a few thousand... I will have to put it on eBay with a $2,500 reserve and a BIN price of $3,500. I bet I get swamped with bids!
