      Maybe you don't realize it. It would be more obvious if you played baseball like I did.

      In California they say "Fawl" or something similar, in Canada it's a soft two syllable word "fow-ul".
      Ah, crap. I'm a Canadian, apparently

        You're in the hockey-conquered part of the USA.

          Actually, my accent comes from the Mexican conquered part of the US...

            The Mexicans are well-known Canadian impersonators.

              Darien is a peninsula in Panama that Scotland attempted to colonise in the late C17th. It was a total failure, partly because the trading goods taken to entice the native tribespeople (including wool) were poorly chosen.

                Yeah, I'm amazed at the British stars who jump rock and come over here. Hugh Laurie in House was definitely a gobstopper, but Joely Richardson in Nip/Tuck was another. The last time I saw her on telly was in the 1992 remake of Lady Chatterley's Lover and she spoke like she had a mouth full of posh marbles.

                Well, in a sense she did. Only they were Sean Bean's marbles...
