Random Thoughts — Page 57

If someone asks you your opinion of the new vacuum cleaner you bought and you say "It sucks", is that good or bad?

No, no, no no... that's not how it goes, it's more like:

seriously, all the macros I've found use the phrase "I like to singa", while it's really "I love to singa". They all get it wrong, it upsets me, they are all good macros except for that mistake...

I've started reading Leonardo's posts out loud in my head. I can't describe what a Leonardo DaVinci head with Leonardo DiCaprio's body sounds like, but my brain has figured it out.

seriously 005, this one made my day! now my sides hurt from laughing...ow...

-wait til you hear my indescribable accent, too!- :p

I read all of you guys' posts in my head, but I never stop to think about the "voice". It's always some "neutral" "voice". Even Frink, who doesn't sound like a Jerry Lewis impression. Except the few times he's been in character, obviously, with the glavin and the thing and the hoyyyviin mayyyveen! Mmmh hey!

Yeah, Frink doesn't really have a voice for me either. I read xhonzi, 3PX, Johnny Ringo, and Ady in their voices because I've heard them all speak, and if I can remember where someone is from I try to give them an accent. With you, its not so much a distinctive voice as it is a vision of a badly animated drawing strutting while talking to me. Now that you say you have an "indescribable accent", it now has a terrible impression of a Russian accent. Great.

Vere are de nuclear vessels?

No, it doesn't suit me. Although a lady from Manchester I talked to once said I reminded her of the singers from Abba, and they're swedish.

I eat you! I eat you all with cheese!!!!!!!</completely random thought>

Interesting. How do you "hear" me? To me the vast majority of the posts have the neutral voice kind of thing.

Since I don't recall where you are from, its the neutral head voice.

I read CE3X as Alex Jones for some bizarre reason.

As in the female Welsh television presenter? Weird.

I have always had a hard time attaching a Scottish accent to you, probably because I have generally really liked most Scottsmen I've met. I used to hear your voice as an old Scottish American I used to know who had a North Eastern American accent, now I always hear you as Han Solo with a smug tone of voice.

Leonardo - Greek-Italian accent.

Moth3r - as John Cleese, not sure why.

Warbler - he has a very distinct voice in my mind, but I don't know how to explain it.

A B C - as Eckhart Tolle with a French accent and a more giddy laugh, and on some occasions as John Cleese's Frenchmen from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 

Chainsawash - as a more intelligent version of Fry from Futurama.

CP3S - as Malcolm McDowel (kidding)

Sluggo - Like a seven or eight year old kid.

Darth Solo - with a slight Philipino accent, inexplicably.

The Boost - Piett all the way.

DAYV - with a very hardcore manly Texan accent.

Ferris - like a very honorable and gentlemanly old western movie sheriff... from Texas.

Gaffer - has had a distinct sounding voice in my mind long before I actually heard his voice, and even though I really know what he sounds like now I still can't change it over in my mind.

Davnes - Yeah, I always read his posts in the voice of a sweet giggly twenty some year old girl, while envisioning a stubble faced 40 year old guy with posters of Erica Campbell all over his room speaking... or at least that is what I try to remind myself he might look like, least I forget he is actually a dude.

005 and Xhonzi I hear as themselves. Interestingly, I heard Xhonzi voice much the same way I do now before I ever even heard it. Upon first hearing him speak, I immediately thought to myself, "Wow, that guy sounds just like I expected him to sound."

Jay - has always sounded like a cross between Emperor Palpatine and a frat boy, or what Palpatine would have sounded like as a frat boy, or a frat boy trying to sound like Palpatine... not really sure why though.
