SteveZilla Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures I'm guessing you originally came there from somewhere else. Y'know. a transplant. Maine originally, but I've lived in Oregon for 35 years Edit: Nice one, I missed it at first. But did the rest of the state have to take anti-rejection drugs?

Not quite complete yet, but I've made that drive.[/quote'] The section going south out of Indianapolis down to Evansville IN (near where I live) is far from finished, and will probably be the very last part of I-69 to be completed.

gewing Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Heh. I've just told an American colleague (who is also one of my irregular Hero players) a couple of Yorkshire jokes. He simply didn't understand them. The Brit sitting next to him chuckled. Our accent is sufficiently known in the UK that even southerners get it. They were: A Yorkshireman takes his cat to the vet. "Nah then, vitnary," he says. "Ah wants thee to tek a look at mi cat." "Certainly," says the vet. "Is it a tom?" "Nooa," says the Yorkshireman. "Ah've got it in t'basket reight 'ere." A Yorkshireman suffering from piles goes to the chemist. "Has tha any o' that fancy arse cream?" he enquires. "Aye," the chemist replies. "Haagen Daz or Ben and Jerry's?" And the explanation: both hinge around Yorkshire pronunciation. "Is it a tom?" means, in Yorksher speyk, "Is is at home?" And "arse cream" is, of course, ice cream; this joke only really works in text, though, or to offcummed 'uns (people not from Yorkshire - it isn't their fault, we can't all be Yorkshire [*]) as we'd use a different intonation to make it clear whether we meant arse cream or ice cream. [*] Old Yorkshire saying: Never ask a man if he's from Yorkshire. If he is, he'll tell you. If he isn't, you'll only shame him. well, I get them both as written, verbally? I can't be positive.

Ayuh, Maine's a great place to be from. I try to visit Mom at least once a year or so. I talk funny for a few days afterward. Dad's side of the family traces back to the 1600s in Central Maine. Mom's family traces back at least 3/4 of a century to a convenient church fire in Aroostook County.
