In which I face up to the terrifying iSight camera – and open iMovie for the first time – in an attempt to prove that New Jersey accents on TV are a farce, but in so doing, give you the opportunity to mock me for the way I say “crayon”. Amy (and many others ) have already way represented the South, so here goes my effort for the Northeast.

The way the meme goes is that you first say these words:

aunt, route, wash, oil, theater, iron, salmon, caramel, fire, water, sure, data, ruin, crayon, toilet, New Orleans, pecan, both, again, probably, spitting image, Alabama, lawyer, coupon, mayonnaise, syrup, pajamas, caught

…and then answer these questions:

What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you say to address a group of people?
What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
What do you call your grandparents?
What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
What is the thing you use to change the TV channel?

So here goes (yay crayons!)
