Yea, Todd's done a pretty good job of adapting and learning to "speak
the language very well" (1)
(1) Extremely obscure Boston (well, actually Cambridge, got to get your
cities straight, can't have hoity toity folks from certain universities
getting mad because you've over generalized their location) related
reference there...
For a slight hint, there's a song which makes fun of the fact that US
English isn't necessarily understandable from one part of the US to
another...
Interestingly, the other day, out local (Raleigh NC) newspaper had a
comment by someone which reminds one of another thing by the same
author. The person was complaining that for all the representation one
of our senators was giving us, Massachusetts might as well have three
senators... (quote from above author "After all, Massachusetts is the
only state with three senators." - partial credit for knowing what this
is in reference to even if you have no clue who I'm quoting).
Another clue since my birthday is tomorrow is that all of these
performances are technically "before my time", though the author did do
stuff in "my time" (extra extra credit if you know what the stuff in "my
time" was). You should be able to determine how old I will be tomorrow
from Lugnet posts, in fact, it should be determinable from this post and
one of my posts to a lugnet.year newsgroup.

| (...) I'm guessing you turn 38 tomorrow (based on when you got your first degree from RPI). As for the quote I don't have a clue what you are talking about. If the quote stood alone I would think it was a Bushism! Happy Birthday, Maggie C. (24 years ago, 3-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
