To be honest, I understood him the first time (although it took me a second) -- the look of confusion on the bartender's face was priceless though

I still have no clue. Wine?
In other news, my son slid the car off the road this morning at about 3:30 am driving home from work. I'm glad I got a call from him, and not from the police with bad news... Another 20' down the road and he would have been in a 10' deep ditch. Anyway, I picked him up and we left the car there 'cause it was stuck good. This morning we got back to it and it had 4" of fresh snow on it. There's probably 8 or 9 inches on the ground. After some off-road antics with a friend's four wheel drive we managed to get the car back on the road. Now I'm in the shop getting new tires on it - keeping the appointment that (coincidentally) I already had for that purpose.

Went into DC today to get a new suit. Protestors decided it would be a good idea to stand on the train tracks, and the Metro was hazardous as usual.
It was certainly an adventure.

Look none of you in the lounge speak properly anyway. I am the only one who does not speak with an accent. You lot all speak American.

I think it's difficult to hear an accent in on-screen Lounge-speak

This. I was in the office for a while yesterday morning, and protesters were blocking traffic.
