First day here, I walked by construction worker — hard hat with an American flag, Italian guy, smoking a cigarette. As I walked by, I caught one small snippet of his conversation when he said, “Hey, dat was like two or tree days ago!” Not a misspelling, when I said “tree” I meant “tree.”

Since then, I’ve heard them all — Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, Staten Island (and a few dirty Boston accents mixed in there, not so much a fan of that one). Basically my dilemma right now is trying to decide which one I’m going to adopt. They’re all great, but I’m leaning toward Queens. Not sure if I’m badass enough to pull that off though.

So, I defer to you, which accent should I adopt? It will take time to get it down, but I think I can do it. Maybe I can consult Frank Caliendo, the most amazing impressionist I’ve ever seen — if you’ve been watching the MLB playoffs (AKA, the Cubs getting spanked) you know what I mean. Here is a video with a bunch of his impressions… Incredible, brilliant. Make sure you watch the Bush, Madden and Deniro ones:
