Why My Co-Workers Hate Me
Sometimes, in the afternoon, I play a game called "I'm From the Deep South." I sit at my desk and talk to myself incessantly in a Southern accent. I refer to anyone within earshot as, "y'all."
My co-workers hate this game only slightly less than "I'm From Brooklyn," "I'm From the UK," and "I'm the Star of a Broadway Show and You're the Chorus."

Why do I think your co-workers wish you would play the game I'm Hellen Kellor. But the real burning question is what broadway show are you the star of.. there is a big difference beteween Les Miserables and Bye Bye Birdie
Posted by: bill on Tue Apr 29, 2003 | ReplyMeghan, I have to agree with your co-workers that the Helen Keller game would be a nice change from the Broadway one, or any of your games. I have never been filled with a bigger sense of dread tahn when we were in the theatre watching Chicago with you..
Posted by: Nora on Tue Apr 29, 2003 | Replyas I remember, there wasn't a specific broadway show, as long as there were villagers repeating things in song. With no backhandedness, I don't know how they could get sick of it! You're so good at those accents (except I've never heard the UK one)

Posted by: irish-girl on Wed Apr 30, 2003 | ReplyWhy is it that a fake british or southern accent is acceptable yet whenever I launch into Margaret Cho's mothers korean accent I get dirty looks?

Posted by: Juggy on Wed Apr 30, 2003 | Replyshe's not very good at that one. it's pretty much on the same level as the "i'm in 8th grade with mall hair"
oh, and MJ - you could probably get away with that one where i live... 5 minutes from nowhere. nobody would understand it though.
