Well, it IS “Pop!”

I just took this American-accent quiz I came across, and…

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North
 

You may think you speak “Standard English straight out of the dictionary” but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like “Are you from Wisconsin?” or “Are you from Chicago?” Chances are you call carbonated drinks “pop.”

The Northeast
 
The Midland
 
Philadelphia
 
The South
 
North Central
 
The West
 
Boston

Oh, and the answer to the “annoying question,” as they put it, is MICHIGAN! And it’s not being asked in itself that’s annoying…it’s that people from Elsewhere always pick some lame-ant *wrong* place from the region to guess.

And like my post title says: I call it “pop” because that’s what it IS dammit! :p

Finally, A Quiz Recognizes…

My geekness! This from a site called JustSayHi:

70% Geek

*Looks at code for that widget*

Unfortunately for them, said geekness level means I also recognize the code for the payday loan link they have hidden in there! Sorry guys, but the only way a business link gets on the Capitalist Chronicle is if it goes to one of my sites, I’m commenting about that particular site, or you pay hard money. And none of the above apply to that link!

*deletes that extra link*

(On another note…hmmm, offering quizzes…there’s a way to get n00bs to spread a link…)

Now some may wonder, even after all this time, how being a geek ever got to be something to brag about. Thank Bill Gates for proving the uberness of Geekdom to the unthinking masses!
