Crop Circles Audio

[Richard]

Hi all

I was on the radio here in Australia, a coast to coast show on at 4am Saturday. YAWN. The things I do for skepticism. Not easy to sound bright at that time of the morning.

The topic was Crop Circles and UFOs.

Anyway, you can hear it for yourself: (windows media Audio)

Nice! I enjoyed that, although the guy who had a sent a photo to victorian skeptics and gotten back a bunch of hooey about rotations and what not, didn't seem too happy, I wonder what happened there, it sounds like he got a letter back from a cynic, not a skeptic, but how?

I got the impression the nice lady who took a photo of UFO and a nice sunset believed in a lot more than UFO's but you can't convince everyone.

The second or third caller, the one who was talking about seeing a UFO while watching a storm, sounded like he was reading from a script or someone elses story. It really sounded like he was just making it up. He did not even sound slightly believable.

Good interview, you were calm, well spoken, and other than that silly accent you sounded great!.

That's rich, a Texan having a go at accents.

[Dragonrock]

What are you talkin' about? Texans don't have accents.

[SquishyDave]

Nice try, everyone knows that even to other Texans they have accents, it's Australians who don't have accents. Aussies can't tell where other Aussies come from by their accents, because we don't have any. In the US though, you can almost tell what street someone comes from by their funny talk.

Nothing-but-net on that logic.

Listen here mate or as you say it, "mite", when I lived in Australia, there we met a couple from the deep north, we couldn't understand them and had to keep asking the store clerk what they were saying. She thought it was funny that we couldn't understand plain english.

Y'all have accents, and it looks like you got a few rolls of fat caught in your logic net.

People from Melbourne, or ‘Malbourne’ (as they say it) do have an accent. They pronounce ‘e’ and ‘a’ and ‘a’ as ‘e’. For example, the word ‘television’ is pronounced ‘talevision’, ‘album’ is pronounced ‘elbum’ and so on. And beers are served in Pots!

:D Stop making me look bad in front of the Texan.

Dragonrock, Richard is insane, and everyone in Australia has no accent, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
