yeah virtually every meeting was boring, but there was this visiting CO by the name of Bro. Roche, who was from Boston and who us Tennesseeans thought had a very interesting accent (in my hometown, anyone who was from out of state had a very interesting accent).
Come on, you know the Boston accent I'm talking about--where they take a vowel and a consonant and make it into a long vowel--like "pahk my cah (park my car)".
The first talk he ever gave in our KH he kept talking about how we "ahll needed to dooo ahr paht (all needed to do our part)" and at the end of the talk we were like, "what the hell is a paht? and this cah he keeps talking about driving around? Hey, you wanna go eat at Hardee's after this?"
Ahh. Those Yankees and their interesting accents. Of course the meetings were still boring while he gave the talks, but he gave my brain something to do as far as translating from Bostonese into Tennesseean.
