Guy At Sally

It's like people who make fun of Forrest Gump.

Like at work when I yell at Brown Noser "Liiiieeeeuuutennnant Daaaayyyyaaan!"

[Merriweather]

There are "cool" accents and some that are not so cool. I'm pretty sure we fall at least mostly into the second category.

Well, you have to admit, the "gentle Southern woman of good breeding" type southern accent sounds pretty classy. Of course, in all my years in the south (I was born in GA), I've never actually known anyone with that particular accent myself - but then, I don't run with the crowd who has the time & money to sit on the veranda of an ante-bellum mansion watching the magnolias blossom and sipping a mint julip
I'm afraid Jeff Foxworthy's redneck jokes actually bring specific relatives to mind

Don't you mean "relatives of a peculiar species"?

I have 3 in the area where I live. I always go there for hair dye and do it myself; somehow my hair figures out it's own highlights and everything!

[Racket_Man]

I wonder how he'd act if she sent him in to buy tampons?

for me when the Ex would get me to buy said items after the first time or two it became just a normal trip to the store. no squickiness no embarassment. just made sure to get the right ones (so as not to get killed then have to go back and get the right one)

Tampons would be way easier than hair extensions.

Quite frankly, that's something I'd rather have done at a salon. Or, ya know, go to the store myself, since a lot of those are in the $50+ range and we all know that men don't know colors.

[PepperElf]

I, for the life of me, can't understand why anyone would send their boyfriend or husband to a beauty supply store to get stuff for them, unless they had a specific list with specific items or coupons. Or maybe if that person knew no one else or had no family or friends to do it for her.

to be honest i'd trust my boyfriend to pick out makeup for me. he bought me makeup a couple of years ago - makeup that was far better than the stuff I normally used. the kind of makeup the MUAs use on photo shoots.

What's wrong with the yooper accent?

[Teskeria]

I definitely agree he was a complete idiot. I was just saying she may not have been. Of course, she may have.

My brother never had a problem picking up feminine hygiene products. Of course with 5 older sisters, it's hard to grow up squeamish.

[Jay 2K Winger]

I went into a Sally once.

I had my GF with me at the time.

We were only in there to get hair dye and to see if we could find extensions for my hair as part of a cosplay. Ultimately we skipped the extensions and used a spray-on hair dye to complete my costume as Ansem the Wise from Kingdom Hearts II.

I always have a list with me when I go shopping for someone else, and only call if I need clarification on something.

Ya der hey, nice weather we're having, aina?

[Pagan]

Speaking of, I need to go there and see if they a hair amplifier(?) that one of my friends has had good luck with. We've both got baby-fine poker straight hair and seems to be giving it a little extra body.

I mean, good grief, the actor Josh Holloway suppresses his Georgia accent on purpose from what I understand. He only used his natural accent in Lost because the director made him.

But on him, it's so hot! *drool*

[XCashier]

What's wrong with the yooper accent?

Nothing wrong with any accent really, unless it's blatantly fake, or so thick you can't understand what the speaker is saying (and that's due more to laziness on the speaker's part than accent).

One of my coworkers is in Little Theater from time to time, and practices a British accent. A very, very BAD British accent! Think Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Now, a natural British accent makes me , but this one make me

[RecoveringKinkoid]

But on him, it's so hot! *drool*

Yeah, true, but I suspect that the accent doesn't make him hot. He makes the accent hot.

I suspect we'd all be saying the same thing no matter what sort of accent he had. He could talk like Gomer Freaking Pyle and we still all be going nuts over him.

Listen here, I have nearly the same accent and nobody thinks it's hot when I do it.

Altogether now: "It's da second week of deer camp, and all da guys are here...."

I love that song
