"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yeah, I think I had that moment too. Down from WHERE?
Vivian? Benton? FREAKING ARKANSAS!!!
So both, huh? Yes, there are no suburbs in Louisiana it's all swamp shacks and plantations and the quarter is the only downtown to speak of, and when we do speak we sound like we're from Georgia.

People who are supposed to be from Georgia never sound like they're from Georgia. It was the accent that made me unable to watch The Closer.

No kidding. I found it interesting that the one who came closest was Fionulla Flanagan, who's Irish.

Sandra Bullock's wasn't awful, but it was Texanish which is more NW Louisiana.

Steel Magnolias had a similar problem. I love watching Olympia Dukakis, but her accent really didn't work.
