tona b.'s Comments

Second on bean's comment. I didn't like it the other time I saw this either, and I'm noticing there is less and less truly NEAT stuff put on Neatorama lately as well. Get your act together, guys! >:p

Hey, I actually did an experiment like this back in college, for a class.

The Univ. of Texas has it's infamous "Drag Rats" (nickname for grungy kids panhandling and loitering on the busiest street near UT). Well, I dressed up like a drag rat, doing my hair up in dreds and wearing my grungiest clothes, and I TRIED TO GIVE AWAY MY CHANGE. Hardly anyone would even look at me, even as I said I was offering them FREE CHANGE! ;D

More classic Japanese tanuki and their super testes:

L, I imagine testacles are obstacles of the testicular sort!

Huh. Girls can like "manly" smells too! I love the suggested ideas of Sawdust, Petrol (Gasoline), and Hardware Store. I'll add:

Tire & Auto Shop
Permanent Marker
Greasy Car Repairman

It's funny, but understandable, that her parents are worried that something is wrong, but what happened is that they did everything right!

1. Both parents are speech pathologists.
2. They read to her a lot.
3. They taught her sign language.

There's history of teaching kids sign language when they are infants/toddlers, like before they learn how to talk or if they have hearing problems. So, it's no surprise that these techniques, applied to a healthy child, helped make her proficient at reading.

My boyfriend could read by 2 years of age. He's more than fine now; in fact, he's the smartest person I know!

I suppose I'm out-voted on the Texas accent, but I don't mind. (Admitedly, I grew up on MTV.) I think she did rather well, regardless. Especially if that was without any voice coaching. I like that she tried different personas with her accents, and the rapid-fire delivery was impressive, too.

Finally, it's satisfying to know I called what state she's from!
:D

My guess is she's from Washington. I'm in Texas, and her Texas accent was believable. But if she's seriously an actress, she needs to do the Montoya accent:

"Hallo! My name is Amy Walker - you killed my father... prepare to die!"
