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!
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Wait. Are you sure you're not a Russian spy, ita??

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?
world crumbles.

::pats self down::
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wait, BT, you mean Darth Vader ISN'T Jesus?
Now I'm picturing Jesus at the Last Supper, using The Force to break His bread and pour His wine and pass them around to everyone.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Someone made a joke about Episcopalians saying that, when watching "Star Wars" and a character says "may the Force be with you" they automatically respond with "and also with you".

Because books.
Doesn't it seem statistically probable that at least one of us is a Russian spy?
