i'd forgotten about it. lack of articulation is practically its own dialect here. someone came up to me on campus this week and asked if i would sign something to support

bruhk bomb-uh.

my guess was "bronx bomber," but the winner, of course, is:

barack obama.

every vowel is a schwa, and lord help the one that gets caught between two blendable consonants. the undergraduates here all sound like they're on a reality television show.
