| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. |

Spotting10 Comments
A few weeks back, over Thanksgiving, I went camping with the Hohnstreiters. Jeremy, Amanda, Shawn, and I went out to Fairfield Lake State Park. There’s a lot I should post about this trip, but I found something that was too good to wait.
Mentioned repeatedly throughout the weekend was an activity the guys used to do growing up in Indiana — “spotting.” When they described to me that you go out at night looking for animals and then shine a spotlight on them, I couldn’t stop laughing. I don’t know what it was, but I had this picture in my head of a deer turning and looking at me as I “spotted” him and thought it was hilarious.
In Texas, spotting takes on a whole new meaning, because you’re legally allowed to hunt certain non-game animals. Beloved Texas quarterback Colt McCoy chose to spend the night of the Big 12 championship game doing exactly that, and here’s the interview to prove it!

I think this is SO cool! Tell me you wouldn’t want to participate in something like that if it happened in your city.
I wonder if there are any rules about the size/range of your squirt-gun. Remembering those super-soakers from the 90s has me thinking that you could be pretty unstoppable if everyone else is outfitted like the guy in the article’s photo.
Who’s going to start it in Austin?!
Letterman3 Comments
I’d just like to say that I love Letterman. He’s a classy guy and, in one show, can go from sincere and heartfelt moments to completely hilarious dry humor, riffing all the way.
He’s one of the greats in late night.
