1. One of my good friends is from California,
Crescent City, I believe, and she has a *faint* accent that I can hear, but beyond that I always think she just sounds like the rest of us MNasotans. Although, she's lived here for a few years, so maybe it just disappeared? I had a friend from South Dakota who used to laugh at me when I insisted that I did NOT have an accent, and that I sounded just like Dan Rather.

5. Who said anything about a thong?
It's commando weather! Besides, my current favorite boots are metallic, not black. Image sufficiently altered?

7. Crescent City wouldn't have much of an accent
It really picks up when you get to the Bay Area south.

8. That was weird...
In my subject line I was going to write "what's a californian accent?"

and then in the body I was going to write "is that like the stoner kid from Fast Times at Ridgmont High?"

Kind of spooky.
