My Minnesota accent comes raging back after talking to my people there too.

Really enjoy the poems!!

It just dawned on that your talking to us by talking to yourself, out loud.

I'm your imaginary friend, inner voice.

Aaaaaaaw

Don't think you know anything about Chapelle. And his generosity. And his care about ALL people, whether good or bad. He has exactly enough money to say and do what he wants. And be friends with who he wants. And expose what he wants.

You should know by now that everyone is both good and bad. Elon is that both good and bad. Throw in a little Aspergers and you get an ELon.

You are a kind-hearted person, Corey. May others follow your example. Thank you for being you. And funny AF to boot.

On the poetry tip, funny poetry is my favorite. There is a reason Shel Silverstein is beloved by so many of us. I'm Just No Good at Rhyming by Chris Harris is another great one to add to Baby CHO's library.

I was bawn and raised on Lawn Guyland. Went to the University of KY where they humiliated me until I ended up sounding like I’m from Ohio. When I do a KY accent, Kentuckians tell me I sound fake. When I do a Noo Yawk accent NYers tell me I sound fake. I am afraid to go to Cincinnata because if they tell me my accent sounds fake, I will be a woman without a home state.

Corey, The main reason I signed up is to listen to another southerner at my leisure.

As for me, picture this: a Memphis native, college and medical school trained, doing an internship in Cherry Hill, NJ. My first rotation was nights covering ICU. Imagine me trying to figure out the nurses laughter every time I tried to give a verbal order to them. It wasn't a subtle cover your mouth while you laugh, but hold your stomach you're laughing so hard! Keep cranking my man!

I don’t feel the need to change or minimize my accent at work but I do pick up accents from others without realizing it. We have a minor league hockey team here in Shreveport and in my young carousing days, I used to hang out with some of the players, who were all Canadian. After about twenty minutes in their presence, you would’ve sworn I’d grown up in Ontario, eh?

Ps. Tom Cruise is a sh*tbag and I think he's always been. He has an assistant who selects his Scientology trained girlfriends for him. 🤮 fingers still crossed Leah Remini gets a chance to beat his ass on live TV. Cuz she totally would. She's got that Brooklyn spice in her recipe 😂

Also Elon is a freaking idiot. If you look into it, every thing he's done has been colossal financially and media stupid.

They're all real. I have a bunch of different accents depending on who I'm with. When I'm with my dad's family I have a lighter version of Drew's accent. They're Appalachian. When I'm here in Greene County I'm halfway to a Hightider. In raleigh, I have the weird cross between Southern and New Yorker that raleigh born people have. All those places are a part of me. They're all my accent.

Undulating Accents is a killer band name.

I go to NY to see my family, and my 49 years in Texas have disappeared from my speech. I did teach the NY folks what "bless your heart" really means.
