    Ahh, here I am. I guess I have a mid-western accent...me thinks. I don't know, and yeah...don't laugh. My voice might hurt your ears, so listen with caution:)

    I'm Australian ... so I suppose I sound Australian :)

    [Update]

    Seeing as though my last two recordings so rudely expired (!), I have taken the liberty of making some new sound files. Um, three of them, to be precise. I managed to rope my little sister into doing them with me, and we were having so much fun, we kinda couldn't stop :)

    I know I already answered this, but Retroglide seemed DETERMINED to hear my voice. So I went down to the store and spent my hard-earned money to buy a microphone for my computer. I hope you enjoy it.

    Here's instructions for how to make an audio clip to join in the fun! (You know you want to, all the cool people are doing it... :)

    First you need a microphone. There may be one built into your laptop or webcam. If not you can get a headset/mic combo at any computer store for about $30 US. Note: you can't use the headset for a phone, you need the kind with 2 jacks made for computers. One jack goes into the microphone input on your sound card, the other goes into the headphone input. If you get a flashlight and look closely at the jacks on your computer, the microphone jack typically looks like sound waves, e.g. -)))) And the headset jack looks like... well... a headset!

    There are many kinds of headsets available, if you're completely uncertain, here's a basic suggestion from Amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/2q2aly

    Once you get the headset or microphone handled, locate the Windows Sound Recorder (Start > Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Sound Recorder). It has buttons like a tape recorder, just click "Record" and start talking, then click Stop when you're done.

    Save your file with File > Save As, and then go to http://www.mediafire.com and upload your file. No registration is required, although they prefer that. After you upload your file, there will be text boxes at the bottom of the page which contain links to your file, use the one on the left... copy and paste that link into your answer.

    Now sit back while the points and glory roll in, and know that you too are part of another great AB Tradition! :)

    If you get stuck and need technical support, you can talk to one of the others who've succeeded, or send me email (stabledog [at] gmail.com)

    Have fun!

    I have the usual Delmarva accent, but I also have certain things that I say in a Jersey accent, seeing as I have spent almost half my life in Livingston, NJ.

    -Most common amoung these is saying a word like "ball" pronounced as "booal." Anything else with that A sound does the same thing.

    -I often say "purpose" pronounced "poypuss."

    -Then, I will sometimes refer to the STD herpes as "oypeez."

    You really want to hear my voice? Go on, and let me be heard. Just click the link.

    This is me. I sound a bit too quiet here, but when you actually meet me one day, (maybe) my voice will sound much higher-pitched than this.

    I finally got this work after so long, along with the help of Stableboy and Eli Lies, and many others of course. I'm quite certain than many were curious to hear what my voice sounds like.

    Without further ado, here it is.
