EWWWWW, Jet Action hardly!!! More like mid-80's all-plastic Franklin/WCI crap, LOL. If I'm not mistaken, these carried the "Frigidaire Horizon" name.

As much as we give the early "Fraudgidaires" a hard time, at least they were pretty much 70's Westinghouse top-loaders on the inside. These, however, were probably the worst machines yet, IMHO...
 
They do not build them like they used to........

I am always having these dreams of having my very own Unimatic, Rolermatic,and perhaps even an I-18 in decorator Copertone(, This is just not at all close. I wish that it was. Although, I thought that it was still thoughtful to put up a link to the Fraugudiare.-I think that you heart was in the right place. :)
 
Hi Don, I am originally from New York City and I talk regular, just like everyone else where I came from.
Everyone else seems to have an accent.

Ross
 
YOU GO ROSS:

Thanks for making that clear, the accent that is. I am a Cajun from Louisiana originally, but guess what. We can speak like the new folks if we apply ourselves.

I sink you arrrrre all bee-ing seellee

You just haven't lived until you hear German students speaking "Oxford English". A regional variation which never existed anywhere in England, it is palmed off as the real thing here. I can't count the times I have had a student correct me or one of the (British) lecturers because our "accent" was not the "proper" one.
Not that my dulcet tones have improved any over the last 23 years abroad. Or maybe they have...
This dreadful practice of selling a sau's ear for a silk purse is very much in fashion over here in Europe right now. Old, honored brand names are bought up (AEG, Grundig, DUAL) and the most incredible sh** sold to an unsuspecting public. I can well imagine there were many people who fell for that scam way back when - their mothers and grandmothers had unimatics going 20 or thirty years long and they just "assumed" a Frigidaire was a Frigidaire.
Dire, indeed.
 
Cajun

I grew up in a Cajun family that uses strong cajun accents. But growing up in New Orleans I picked up on the "normal" accent plus the unique New Orleans/Chalmette 'thing (I live down in the da parish dawlin). Since I moved to Opelousas, I think I have started to regain my cajun accent, but I can talk like a Yankee at will LOL.

And as for you, Steve, you defected us and moved to Florida. Dat's why you don' talk lahk us.
 
A frigidaire is not a frigidaire

I remember someone saying that about GE. He said "I grew up with this only noisy GE thing that had the roung thingy on top the agitator. Then we got this new one and it broke in 3 years."
 
My Cousin Vinny

Like you New Yorkers don't have an accent?

I have a disguisting NY Accent. I ain't neva gonn deny 'dat! Thank you very much. *LOL* But I have fun in the knowledge that others hear it and I don't. (Well, when I get angry it either comes out in Greek or New York-ese)!

So pass me my CAW-FEE before yous get on my freikin' noives and suck the last bit of yout'(read: yute) outta me.

Sorry did not mean to offend. But how well I do it! I guess my version of *funny* is getting tiring!

Actually all kidding aside; the New York City metropolitan ares is so full of the newly-arrived to this country that we honestly don't hear acents at all. They are plentiful!

My aunt has been here in the USA for 50 years (yes FIFTY) and arrived fairly young- and still can't get SHEETS and BEACH and CLEATS out to save her life. (substitute and *i* sound).

And by *BAD* accent I mean *STRONG/THICK* accent. So please forgive me. my Turrett's medication seems to have run out.

Open mouth, insert foot.
 
Open your mouth and spit it out already!

What I thought was REALLY interesting was watching TV in Delaware at a distant relative's house.
They think nothing of hearing so much of my type of accent on TV, being that it is so different than their own.
Yet, hearing it *live* they were hysterical laughing.
 
Funny, when my father went out to Missouri to see his sister several years back, his niece said "...Uncle Rich i can tell your from back east" Too funny. He was born in the Bronx, but has lived most of his life in central Jersey and i can still hear that NY accent.
 
Toggle, you are right......

When I get fired up, most of what flies out is Greek. It seems to add emphasis. They know I'm pissed, but don't know the language to be offended. And as you probably did too, I learned the best words from my Mom.

Yia Sou, kai Xristos Anesti.
 
And you yankees think us Cajuns have funny names, just take a trip to Massachussetts and to Worcester (and it's not pronounced "war-chester" either) LOL.
 
accents

Asked my friends here in Munich what sort of accent I had. They said either "horribly, typically US-American, Canadian, Dutch".
And those were my friends.
My US friends all say I sound like a Professor at a German University or a Panzergeneral.
This is, I suppose, not much better.
Which is why I am making no comments on anybody's accents here - not even about the Texans.
Whoops.
 
Jason you have a slight accent, Toggle you have an accent, Ross, your accent is calming down since you went west young man, Steve (Mayken4now) I was really surprised you were orignally form LA cuz I didn't detect a cajun nuttin'. I have a somewhat of a Texas accent, but even people in Tucson couldn't believe I am a native cuz I apparently just don't have a really thick one (WATCH IT TOGGLE).
 
Steve Toggle and Ross both have New York accents, and Jason does have the Louisiana accent.

Bob, I don't detect an accent in you; same with Steve (Mayken4now). Steve (Gyrafoam) has the Southern accent, and Greg sounds Midwestern. I whole-heartedly believe I could pick out either of them from a huge crowd.

Now y'all can comment on my accent...if there is any LOL.
 
*shrug*

Nah, Bob, you don't have much of an accent, but maybe that means we Arizonans match your accent. Hard to say, isn't it? :-D

It's like when I called my friend in Australia. He said, "You have a most delightful Yank accent." I told him I was about to say the same thing about his Aussie accent :-P

I've lived in Arizona all my life, but it appears I've picked up Will's Massachusetts accent.

Go figure.

:-)

I think that the New England/Mid Atlantic accient sounds sex

i grew up out here in the Northwest. I have thought for the longest time that the New yorker/New England sounding guys have a great accient.OMG it is so VERY SEXY!!!!!! I never get tired of listeining to someone that talkes like that!!
 
There were a few at the latest Mass. wash-in that were typical *Bostonians* with no *Rs* to be heard.

YUM!

P.S,, what do you call an idiot who happens to be from Massachusetts? (Relax does not apply to anyone we know.)
Mass-hole.
