Both great ideas. I'm definitely for the crazed sports fan video. And the accent/idioms video to include Canada, eh.... I wonder why they didn't already do something like that during the Great American Road trip.....?

That reminds me of my moms family, her cousins who live down south say "Fixin' Ta" like fixing to but just a tad different. I love how even if you go to the next city or state even there will be differences in culture.<br />

Or maybe it would work for a Kast sometime?<br/> <br/>
Something I find really interesting along these same lines is the different phrases or sayings people use in different parts of the country. For instance, until I moved to NC I had never heard the phrases "might could" or "might would" or "might should"...as in "If my ISP would cooperate this morning I might could post on the Kommunity."<br/>
<br/>
My husband's family uses a phrase that I've not heard anywhere else, although they don't think it's something they made up. They say "I hope to shout!" meaning something like "You'd better believe it!" For example, if I said to my sister-in-law "Kathy, will you watch the World Series if the Cardinals make it?" she would say "I hope to shout!"</div>
