thrillbilly, that's not Yankee talk. That's Bahstin talk... more or less. For the real Yankee talk, yah haveta move a hunded miles noth of Bahstin, down ta Maine.
I went to an armorers school (S&W) with a CO from Fed Prison Atlanta. I had to act as his interpreter for the 2 weeks we were the. The hardest thing was trying to get a glass of sweet tea.

Now check this out, I've lived in Wyoming all my life (Dad and grandparents moved out here from PA in 1979/1980). However whenever I am around someone who is from PA (currently lives there or has a strong accent) or when I watch a show that's filmed in the area PPA (Pennsylvania Parking Authority) or Viva la Bam comes to mind; when I talk while the show is going or shortly after the show is over I will be talking just like I'm from PA.
