A Vlog. Just because.
I saw this on Pinterest and I thought of you…
I was missing you guys. It’s been so busy and emotional… I feel disconnected. Perhaps I am feeling a little want-of adult conversation. So I made a video. At night. Makes for riveting content. And conversation?
My thought processeeeeeese don’t always make sense. But any thought process is encouraging to me so three cheers for firing synapses and whathaveyou!
In this video I read a list of words. It seems there is this list of words that reveal one’s accent. I dunno. Here’s the list:
Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught
Here are the questions:
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you use to change the TV channel?
I started to bore me so I sped it up. Besides, I think chipmunk voices are funny.

This was fantastic to watch. I have seen this little game floating around and have gotten a few laughs out of people asking how a word could be pronounced any differently than how they are saying it. I would make a video reply, but one, I have bags the size of Texas under my eyes, and Texas is big! Like, real big! And two, all of my videos have always, without fail, looked like someone had a gun pointed at me behind the camera and I look terrified. What happened to when blogging was just sitting at your computer all day typing and people read the words on the page? I’m good at that!
I have a crooked nose. And one eye is bigger than the other. Which I really only realized once I started vlogging. OH well, can’t go back now! And you just keep on typing! It would be no fun if we all did the same thing, right???
Jenny I am peeing myself laughing. Like Peeing. My kids are peeing themselves at the chipmunk.. My accent is SO different… I have a bit of british, mainly south-african. I REWOUND how you say Pecan about 10 times, i’ve never heard that. I say PEE-cun. like PEEING myself laughing. I’m going to make a response. I just have to.
You KNOW I love that ring.. hilarious. oh flip it, i’m going to watch it again. xxx
All I ever want is to make others pee themselves. And I would LOVE to hear your accent! xoxo
love! love, love, LOVE!
Oh – you doth flatter too much! Do that anytime *wink*!
Oh I am so tempted to reply.
I think I may.
It would be my first Vlog.
Mmmmmmm.
Just watched. Oh Michelle… you made my day!
Here you go… MY FIRST VLOG! In response to your prompt of course. http://blozulfog.wordpress.com/2011/09/04/vlog-response-to-jenny-i-dont-have-an-accent-yall/
Go for it Michelle!
LISA. You = CUTEST EVER.
I am tempted to reply.
You see, I’m tired of being told I’M the one with an accent.
Hello, all these Brits have accents, and NONE of them sound the same?
Wait….maybe I’ll have Boo read the list, too.
Then we’ll see who has an accent….hmmmm….
and, can I add, I’m so jealous that you can do that super-closeup.
The circles under my eyes make me look like a raccoon.
A raccoon with highlights. And glitter chucks.
“A raccoon with highlights. And glitter chucks.” I can’t stop laughing…
O hai thar !
i’m from the north east so obviously i’m not running around saying things like scarlett o’hara or worse, a character out of deliverance, but i neither sound like katharine hepburn or a boston or new york ganster.
i speak rather clearly because i like to pronounce words the way they’re spelled. in fact, sloppy communication skills tends to annoy me (which is ironic because I’ve just realized I haven’t used capital letters on the first words in my sentences or for proper nouns).
Boom :
*What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What are you is what this question should be asking.
A teenager or a really deficient adult.
*What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
I want to say rolly polly, but now I sound like I’m five.
*What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
Soda
*What do you call gym shoes?
Gym shoes
*What do you say to address a group of people?
A simple good morning, afternoon or evening should suffice though If I’m staggering home drunk from a bar early in the morning I would say “kluyVJKLguvjk.”
*What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
Daddy-long-legs
*What do you call your grandparents?
Grandma and Nana. One grandfather died in the early 1960s, so I never met him and the other one abused my grandma so I probably should just call him dead asshole.
*What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
Shopping cAHt. Just kidding. Shopping cart.
*What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
A sun shower.
*What is the thing you use to change the TV channel?
A remote control.
My Score is 100 !
P.S.
That was actually fun to do.
THAT was the best non-vlog answer I have ever seen to this little game! You had me rollin’! Except I’m sorry about the grandfather that is a dead asshole.
Thank you for taking the time to entertain… “Shopping cAHt. Just kidding. Shopping cart.” Heeheee…. hahahaha
By the way, I comment as epiksonik on your youtube videos in case you were wondering.
