It doesn't hurt that this guy is talking big brains techy stuff.

*Why* do I have a weakness for accents? What's that about? I should be over that, I really should. Yet, there's an accented guy on the call right now, and whoa.
I have a friend who is British, but grew up in the States and worked hard to get rid of his accent because he kept getting teased. Now, he sounds like a normal 'murikin. I was vastly amused when he told me about explaining this to a very drunk female friend, who looked at him and said "Dude, do you know how much pussy you could be getting with an accent?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Irish pub I went to for lunch is staffed with Actual Irish People -- at least, my waitress was Irish, and I heard a guy with an Irish accent -- because you know that keeps people coming back!

Because books.
I watched twenty minutes of some really boring documentary about otters last night because the guy narrating was Scottish.

I'm suckered by accents that are different from what I grew up with, but...also a sucker for most London or Jamaican accents. So it's not even strictly a factor of other.
And I feel I should be doing my part by having a default accent other than generic American with suspicious undertones, but unless I'm over-excited (and I try to never be that) I have nothing to offer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Which is appropriate, as Yoda a Godless heathen is.
I knew a guy in the FAC who believed that the entire Star Wars story was a corruption of the Bible, turned around to make Satan the good guy. Darth Vader's secret identity? Jesus Christ. I kid you not.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Wait, BT, you mean Darth Vader ISN'T Jesus?

Yes! Totally! Absolutely!
OMG, work is killing me. Everyone is still being really nice, even as the pressure gets amped up, but pressure. Amped up.
