    love when people sling quotes around in direct opposition to their behavior.

  • Tonight I get to meet another of the SSC family in person as GSquared is coming to speak at OPASS. Always cool to be able to put a face and voice to a name. Once I've met someone I almost always hear their voice when I read one of their posts. This is especially true with Gail's because she's the only one with a non-American accent that I've met thus far.

  • remind me to talk like the priest from Princess Bride should we ever meet...:-P

    Lynn, I hope you've mastered the ability to imitate Yoda. That could be fun when meeting one of us.

    Only when you write like Yoda. When you write in "normal" English I don't get a voice because I haven't heard your voice in person yet.

    I certainly do.

  • I also figured that yoda talks the way he does in public to confuse people. Catch him behind close doors and he talks just like the rest of us. :w00t:

  • Like Jack, I definitely hear Gail's accent, and hear Lynn as Yoda voice only when he yodaspeaks.

    Hopefully y'all have forgotten just how bad my southern drawl sounds.
