But.... but.... he just sounds Australian!

[Apocalyptus]

I'm pretty sure I don't say 'toot-orial'.

[LordRetard]

Yeah well I was pretty sure I didn't say "aboot".

[smiley_cow]

I say 'aboot' sometimes. But I also enjoy putting on fake Canadian accents, eh?

[Cirtur]

You all just sound foreign to me.

Well you don't say "aboot", you say [əbʌwt], which is closer to [əbut] than American [əbawt]. That's what happens the confusion.

[smiley_cow]

I also say 'aboot' when I'm talking about boots in the singular.

[Cirtur]

Dammit that's how I trick Canadians* into saying that.



*the one canadian I met in real life.

[Apocalyptus]

I think it sounds more like 'a boat'.

Woot! Hometown hero Jon Montgomery won gold in the skeleton last night! I'm told he's getting a parade when he gets home, though I'm not sure I'm willing to drive down to Russell for it.

[Cirtur]

I think some British woman won in the skeleton also?

[smiley_cow]

Just looked it up: Britain got gold in the women's.

[Apocalyptus]

Apparently some Australian woman won a gold medal in snowboarding. But all the commentators were talking about was how beautiful she is and how she's gonna make a great bride and better start planning her wedding soon.
I hate Australian commercial television.

[Cirtur]

But seriously, she'll make a wonderful wife one day.

That's... pretty bad.
