The other day she called and wanted to know why "My draw was shot".

I guess I asked her to repeat what she was saying about 4 times. After she slowed her speach down and tried to use a Southern Draw, I finally understood her.

It cracks me up how different we all speak. I left 8track a voice mail once, and he said his wife had to listen to the message multiple times to understand me.

Eat ****. Go Red Sawx!

Kinda like that, eh?

But I have no effin' clue where the Kennedy clan get their accent.

Hell, I live the next town over from where Hyannisport is and I've yet to meet anyone who talks like they did.

But in general, I find the accent from central MA to be wicked pissah.

Especially after I eat a grindah followed by a hoodsie and get a drink from the bubblah at a Cumbies in Wistah.

He's going to eat a sub sandwich, followed by an ice cream cup, then get a drink from the water fountain at Cumberland Farms (a convenience store) in Worcester.

Just a suggestion.

Just had a funny thought. I went snow skiing in CO several years back. Some friends wanted to go to Bubba Gump Shrimp Factory to eat. My thoughts were, we are three hours from the Gulf and they want shrimp in CO////What the hell????

Still, we went there for supper. Several in our group ordered a Shrimp Po-Boy. It was a new item on the menu and the server didn't have a clue what a Po-Boy was.

We all got a laugh when he walked away.

How could you not know what a Po-Boy is????

You haven't lost a step.

But 17 years of childhood is embedded into my psyche, brother. My accent is 100% gone, IMO. Some say they can detect a hint of it, but I don't hear it.

Great place to grow up... loved it.

Just one question:

On a hot day at Rocky Point, what do you get to quench your thirst?

Del's or coffee milk?

Or do you opt for a 'Gansett?

(Which, btw, is once again available almost everywhere)

And what do you put on your fries?

And what's the difference between a weiner, a red hot and a frankfurter?

And lastly, you like your stuffie with or without linguica?

You can take the boy out of Rhode Island...

Not even to one.

Let's just call it "several" questions...

And we would gladly have you (and your tax $) back if you would like to return. We may even leave you with a Cranston accent, which though not superior to a Boston accent, is a spectacle all its own.

Coffee

Oil

Water

You'd all be shocked at how they butcher those three simple words.

Del’s or coffee milk? Del's frozen lemonade, of course. I actually have pictures of my wife, son and I AT Rocky Point in 1991.

Or do you opt for a ’Gansett? Not a fan of that particular beer.

And what do you put on your fries? Me? Just salt.

And what’s the difference between a weiner, a red hot and a frankfurter? Not so sure on this one... although I believe a weiner is a hot dog, the red hot is the same thing, but with a heated bun, and a frankfurter has the snappy skin on it.

And lastly, you like your stuffie with or without linguica? LOVE baked, stuffed quahogs... NO linguica, just quahogs and stuffing.

Circa 1991.
