Aussie beer rocks.

I mean who in their right mind drinks warm beer that tastes like coffee! Guiness? yuk!

Fosters is the worst beer known to mankind. (I do not acknowledge Bud, Natty Light, Beast, etc as beer)

And Guiness doesn't taste like coffee... it's a little more akin to roofing tar cut with 10W-40.

*finishes his Guiness*

I recently got one of those washing machines with the LCD touch screen to replace my old washer and dryer. I have to call it Mr. Washer the supreme washing appliance whom I am but an unworthy speck. Otherwise, it steals all my socks and sends them to the neither world.

It wouldn't be so bad, except the neither world sends me thank you cards. They're quite disturbing you know.

Let me continue the hijack:

Tell me, all you guys all over the world who drink or have drunken Fosters:  did the taste change over the last couple of years or is it just me??  I used to LOVE Fosters; now, now I really don't care for it.  It tastes different, not as good now, to me.

Long standing argument between my wife and i,
Do you say wash, washer, etc.....

      or
 worsh, worsher, etc....

and does anyone have any other disputed words?

Where are you from anyway?

Warsh is a very Philadelphian thing to say.  In fact, I used to spell it as Warsh and George Warshington.  Since that didn't help my spelling, I've forced myself to change my pronounciation so I know say wash like everyone else.  Another big Philly thing is saying Our as Are (Are Father, who art in heaven...).  That problem was actually a little bit worse with my spelling.

Also think about how you say the following sentence:

"I ran from a bad man holding a fan, a ham and a hammer."

If you're from the Midwest, it would probably be close to that.  If you're from Boston, it would probably be "I rahn from the bahd mahn holding a fahn, a hahm and a hahmmer." (Actually, it would be "hahmmah", since there's that R thing).  In Philadelphia, it would be "I rahn from a bad man holding a fan, a ham and a hahmmer."

All depends on where you're from.  There really is no right or wrong.

My accent tends to fluctuate depending on my mood and who I'm talking to.  Since I was born in Texas, moved to Arkansas when I was six years old, and am now back in Texas for college and my family moved back here too, you would think I would have a really thick Southern accent.  However, mine is usually quite mild.  It will only start sounding thick when I'm talking with someone who has a thick accent.  My girlfriend is even worse.  She has lived in Arkansas nearly all of her life.  She lived in Mississippi for a short time and moved to Texas after my freshman year at Texas A&M.  Normally, she sounds very intelligent with only a slight accent, but whenever she gets excited, angry, or nervous she sounds like the biggest hillbilly you ever heard.

Jeebus, even you damn Yankee's can't understand each other!
And you got nukes!
Oy, it wasn't the meek that shall inherit the earth... it's a bunch of Walmart shoppers who bastardize the Queen's English!
(But you ain't as bad as them Brits, or god forbid.... Aussies!)

What have you got against Aussies!! 

Is it the fact that the Brits cannot win in any sport against us?

I love the irony in this post

In Japan the Z-car is known as the "Fairlady Z."  Why?  Because back in the late '60's when the Z-car began, the chairman of Nissan's favorite musical was "My Fair Lady!"

BTW I pronounce it Dahtsun Zee-car
