    It’s exactly the same as their regular accents except every third sentence is, “Jesus Tapdancing Christ it is fucking cold in here, somebody turn up the heat!”

        It’s kind of amazing how the human brain can rewire itself like this. It’s like a completely new accent that was spawned from isolation. Jesus Tapdancing Christ its fucking cold in here. God damn it, I stepped in penguin shit again!
