Hey stick, do you have a New Yorkers accent? Like instead of mirror, you day mirra? I love listening to accents. I wonder if Mark has a southern accent.

What are you getting this time? I'm shipping out instead of receiving.

I do not, no. It's interesting, however, that there are specific accents across the five boroughs (NY's version of counties). Brooklyn people sound very different from people from Queens, or Long Island. Manhattan folks sound...pretentious.

Far as I know, I have no actual bend to my speak. I imagine it's because both my parents were first generation immigrants, my father from Sicily and my mother from Uruguay. Both their accents are noticeable, my father's is very very thick. He can however speak Sicilian, English, Spanish, and French fluently, so I never ragged on him for pronouncing English words oddly. I spent a long time in Florida as a kid, and came back to NYC right before high school. My English really came from listening to books on tape, being the secluded little nerdy kid with no friends.

Thus, my voice sounds like it comes from a book. :D

I forgot my lunch at home...crap. A bag with two Vanilla Coke Zeros and a frozen Lean Cuisine is now sitting in my computer chair...melting.
 
lol i bet u do

Anyone besides me ever sharpen elmax? This 0561 is nutty sharp and it just stays there... will shave paper off and my hair, and only took like 2 hours to do

Why? Mine is 353 and I paid no where near that.

I don't think I have a southern accent. My dad is from Virginia, and my mom is from Colorado. But Chester would know whether or not I have one, because he's an outside source.
 
Reprofiling the Elmax on a 0560 or 0561 is arduous. For someone just using something like an Edge Pro, it takes quite some time. I tend to go a bit slowly to begin with, being careful not to screw up the heel or the tip, but that steel is torture to do substantial work on. I had to flatten my 120 grit stone after one knife.
 
Yea i used my diamond lansky kit to do it. Its super hard, but the payoff is substantial. I love this knife

I hear ya bro. Touch ups aren't that bad but reprofiling is a different story. I had to flatten my stock 120 as well. Since I got the Moldmasters I haven't had to do that though. The hardest part for me is trying to keep the blade steady while reprofiling. The flat portion is too small and the plunge line does that sweeping thing (Not straight) so you end screwing up the angles if you're not careful. It's a joy to use after you get the hard part out of the way.

I don't have an accent either, but my voice probably sounds different than someone from down South. I've also got some Italian in me, not as much as you, but enough for someone to know that I'm not "pure" (no such thing) American. All of my Italian heritage comes from my dad's side of the family. Anything past my great-grandma that's family related, I don't know much about, so I can't preach about that. Maybe I'll look into it one day.

Haha, I'm trying to imagine what you sound like.
 
I'm from Pa, and moving down to southern Va was an eye opener. I have trouble understanding half of these boomhowers and their weird sayings(cutoff the lights, right quick, ya wasted yer milk all over the flor, done did that, like no other, etc...). They think I talk too fast, I just talk at a normal pace! The one that bother me the most is the pronounciation of the letter "N". Anywhere else in the world it is just "ehn", however down here it is "innnn". That really irks me, especially when they try to get my kids to say it their way. I will argue with any teacher all day about that and they know it, so now they atleast let it go and don't try to correct them anymore.

Haha, boomhowers? When I went through W. Virginia, Virginia, and N. Carolina, I felt the same. I was about 9-10 so I didn't totally understand what they were saying anyways, but there was an instance at a gas station where the lady was talking, and I didn't understand anything she was saying. For a second I thought she was speaking a different language.
