LMAO Todd, very funny story and so is this ->
[quote] Very refined and cultured of course. The last phrase was not designed to be funny BTW. Apparently you pronounce it "Noo Jarrsey". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I pronounce it New Jersey. But, hey what do I know? And in New York, they say youse guys meaning more than one.

Woolly booger. Wow, I bet THAT wasn't in their research.
We (my countrymen LOL not me) also say "youse guys" for a bunch of people.

We call a booger a bogey. But American culture having taken over the world, anyone under 35 calls a bogey a booger.

I wanna do a dustbunny survey. BTW, do they call them dustbunnies because they look like bunnies or because they multiply so quickly? Are you aware that breeding of rabbits follows a Fibonacci number sequence? A Fibonacci sequence is a series of positive integers in which the successive value of an integer is the sum of the immediately preceding two integers, hence the series, as an example: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55 etc.

Cinders, how do you pronounce the following.
cot, caught, cart, bomb, balm, oil, house, horse, good and water
I pronounce them as follows:
cot = cot
caught = cawt
cart = caht
bomb = bomb
balm = bahm
oil = oyl
house = hows
horse - hoarse
good = guhd
water = war-tah

Thanks Todd. I REALLY wanted to know about Fibonacci sequences. Got to bring it back to numbers don't you?
Hey, I'm going to put my pronunciation survey out on the main board.

Larry the Cable Guy has passed us by. He must be the ONLY facet of American culture that has passed us by.

Wasn't Georgia a Penal colony too Todd? (Like Australia)? No, that would be the Mayflower and the People's Republic of Massachusetts. Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe who brought a few dozen families to Georgia. The families were all members of England's underclass by Oglethorpe's design. He wanted to remove the stigma of societal classes as existed in England. All the people were wholesome, hard-working and decent. Again, his design. Speaking of design, Oglethorpe also laid out the design for Savannah which is quite beautiful. Are you familiar with Savannah? Did you see the movie or read the book entitled, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"? Since that book/movie, so many people have moved to Savannah from all over the country and have driven historical home prices through the roof. If you are even mildly interested, click the below link and then click Scenic Tour. Savannah

The Mayflower, as I'm sure you know, did not bring convicts. It brought people who wanted to practice their religion (a Puritan religion) in peace. The whole of America is founded on a Puritan ethic. You'd better tell California. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The Mayflower, as I'm sure you know, did not bring convicts. Depends on whose history book you read... It is commonly believed, even in this country, that the Mayflower delegation were the first settlers in America. Not the case. Jamestown, Virginia was founded at least a decade before the People's Republic of Massachusetts. And the oldest city in America is in Florida.
