Michelle! I loved that! You sound great! Not what I imagine to be a strong Canadian accent... more subtle. Reminds me of our neighbor who is from Minnesota.

And cheers to you, for having the excellent idea of sharing our voices. It's been a lot of fun!

Don't know when I'll get the call from the AD, Michelle. Hoping to hear any day... and sure need to get the camera uploading problems corrected by then!

I'll be 49! I have to count from 1963 to remember these days.

There you go guys, a mix of vegetables, mushrooms, fish (a trout filet I cut in the pan, it was easier to cook it this was as it was frozen) and gooey brown rice!



Believe it or not, I actually find it delicious!
Carl- this dinner does look great! I was sort of expecting Kraft Dinner- but you have a gourmet streak I think!

Thank you Michelle! I'd much rather prepare myself a little something than having to eat Kraft Dinner every single day...

...Did you hear that Wes!? She said it looked great!

It's so fun to hear you - all these years of knowing you and I only could imagine how you sounded. Great voice and well done.

Erm, that is one fine Peter you have there.


So what were you thinking when you watched that? Bet you didn't imagine a nearly 4 ft tall Peter Griffin.
I know what a fan you are so I had to incorporate it into my video.
FWIW We don't pronounce our letter ahh's around here.

Oh well, I think I'm going to get some sleep as well! I'm quite tired and it's not a good idea to stay up very late when you know you'll have to work with fire and very hot metal the next day!

Thank you again Bill, Lisa and Michelle for those great videos! I had a great time watching them!

Your 4 foot Peter was a surprise. I laughed pretty hard at that!

Not pronouncing the "ahhs." Got that. And it's only if the "ah" is at the end of the word, right? I'm going to stawt doing that around heah and see if anyone notices.

Come to think of it, Lois Griffin calls her better half "Petah."

Seriously, what a cute video. Nice to see you in action, with that same sense of humor that makes me grin at your posts time and time again.

Good night and hope you have a great day in class tomorrow!

Thank you Lisa! I'm going to finish my ring's size adjustment today! The first steps went pretty good but, alas, there are some dings in it and everytime I buff them out the ring gets thinner! I have to be careful...

We shall see I guess...by the way, congratulations on your 12k posts!

Great video Michelle and great toasts. Good to hear your voice.

I was right can't tell the difference between a US and Canadian accent.

Next up for the girls. Singing?

I confess. I misrepresented the size of my Peter. I did it for the usual reasons: to try and impress the ladies.
It's not a full four feet tall when upright. It's only 40 inches tall. That's a full 8 inches.
But I ask, what's 8 inches between friends?




Now, there are those who will ask "Why is Peter Griffin wearing a Rolex GMT Master II?"
To them I answer "Why aren't you?"

I think the "amazing accent" award must be split three ways- Wes...Carl...and Bill!

That's okay. I was still impressed. Besides, doesn't the camera add, like, eight inches?
