One of the things I like about Boston is that it's one of the few places where the cartoonishly stereotyped accent that outsiders think the locals have is actually kind of prevalent. Yesterday morning I has leaving the dorm and these two cops were outside, apparently directing people around the construction. One was sitting in an unmarked car with the window open, eating yogurt or something. As I pass, the guy standing outside the car says to the guy inside, in the kind of thick accent that I normally use when doing one of my hilarious accent routines, "Watcha eatin' theah, cream o' sum yung guy?" And then he cracks up.
