'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Pfui on her, Susan.
Yeah, really. Especially since IME insofar as Europeans notice American regional accents, they just think they're interesting-sounding. I'd pretty much guarantee you that as long as the Southerner in question was a polite tourist, not a single Parisian was thinking, "Ew, why did they give that hick a passport?"
Ugh Susan, I know a lot of people who are prejudiced against Southern accents. Having called some of them out on it I can add that the explanations/justifications for the prejudice are... not helping.
Data point: from my years in NC and yes, MD, I tend to go southern drawl (indeterminate) when tired or angry. Combined both in Australia on multiple occasions, got several " I loooove your accent" from Australians and Belgians who had no idea the source.

Me too. Tired, angry, or watching football.
Yeah, it's not uncommon to get ringworm from an animal.
Yeah, I was meaning to riff on their single-ness.
prefaced with "no offense,
Whenever someone says that to me, I just say, very pointedly "we'll see".
And this one jackhole once said, when he was done with his offensiveness, said "were you offended" and I replied "I don't know why you're pretending that you care; if you did, you wouldn't have said it in the first place."

D'oh. That flew totally over my head. (Obviously.)
But you are so agile!
I couldn't resist.
I am now imagining all the bitches (so to speak) in Steph's neighbourhood singing to their furry beaus "If you like it then you should have put a ring on it".
For the first time in a long time, Utah is getting national-level campaign ads. It's weird, like being on vacation and listening to other people's radio ads. Cruz is disturbing and slimy, Bernie doesn't have a prayer. Bernie's ad talks about breaking up the banks, which will make the typical Utah voter clutch their pearls in Red Scare horror. Cruz has a lot of solemn stuff about 2nd Amendment rights and patriotism that makes me turn down the radio.
