[ST] for Simon - accent on the 'h', as in Lohbstah



 
 >>> Bwoston, Samual Adams and Cwoffe <<<

   As a native Bostonian who grew up on buttahd bohstahn lohbstah and
beeah - back when the legal drinking age was 18 - and went to high
school on Long Island, I recognize Bwoston and Cwoffe as the Brooklyn
pronouncation of those words.  Samuahl Adams Ale is superb,... the
more common Samuahl Adams Bahstahn Lahgah is Protestant swill,
consumed only in New Hampshah.  =;o)

    Yesterday's national news headline:

 >>> US Navy released first pictures of damage sustained by USS San
Francisco attack sub after it collided with underground mountain. <<<
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Johnny (or maybe Jane?) not only can't read, he (she?) can't
write either!

    What is the US Navy doing with subterranean attack vehicles?  Why
didn't the sub sustain the damage at the time it hit the mountain
rather than later?  Why is our national news media infested with
illiterate scribes spewing out incomplete thoughts?  Johnny (and
Jane) want to know!
