    South African accents are almost always terrible, but my south african friend's dad is hilarious and the accent helps. It's very hard not to laugh hearing someone say "Rooted her in an alley" in a south african accent.

    Views of accents from different places make me laugh... American parodies of Australian accents are quite different to new zealand parodies of australian accents (hurr they're both the same NO)

    Not necessarily the accent, but Finnish as a language just sounds awesome.



    More attracted to her than keira knightley? Huh. You crazy. I'm guessing it might be from one of the Caribbean islands that had slaves maybe?

    you guys remember that shaman lady from the pirates of the caribbean movie

    I don't know what accent that was but mmm I was finding myself much more attracted to her than to kiera knightley

    being more attracted to someone than kiera knightley is hardly unusual

    Agreed, it's a;ways awesome listening to south africans describe their sordid exploits.

    Irish and french accents sound great when they are swearing.

    I think it's partly influenced by them having african slaves in Jamaica so in a way

    when kiera knightly is in movies I like to look at her face and ignore her repulsive body

    so there's some attraction there

    oh hey also wikipedia says the actress who played the jamaican lady also played selena in 28 days later

    further evidence of her hotness

    I have a terrible phone voice. People think I am girl as well. None of my brothers have it, but all of my great uncles and second cousins do. I take after that side of my family in terms of looks and personality.

    Hell I look exactly like a great uncle of mine. My grandma (his sister) took a shine to me when I was just a baby. He raised her and the rest of her family. He was the only thing that kept them from starving when the left the hills and came to Ohio.

    Haha nice, Macro. Phone voices are the worst, whenever I get into customer service stuff i magically transform into a well-spoken ten year old girl.

    I don't speak on the phone in front of my friends because they are the "wait, what are you, a fag?" type

    Chico, is it a "sounds like he could be talking about killing us under his breath" thing or a pleasantly sexual, throbbing Barry White bass hum?

    It's more like, "Did you just hear something?"

    And I just shrug because I don't feel like repeating myself.

    You know, they say he is Scottish, but have you ever heard another Scotsman talk like Sean Connery?

    The man has his own accent

    He decided he was gonna have one that no one else had and he pulled it off
