    Job interview at MIT in 2 weeks.

    For the Americunts in the crowd, do I need to practice my southern accent?

    For the Canadians in the crowd, box me up some snow.

    For the Brits in the crowd, continue talking about Squeams.
    Ellipses go here.

    The redneck accent, similar to some southern rural accents, are everywhere. However, since it's in Cambridge, that would imply you must familiarize yourself with the Boston accent. Additionally, since it's MIT, you would also expect to here English spoken with a variety of foreign accents. Thirdly, sorry you didn't get the job

    Although admittedly sitting on the sidelines on this one, the possibilities are amusing. Skiz might be able to help you out with pronounciation/slang and general pointers on how to act slow southern

    I hope that you are better with science that you are with geography.
    Southern accent no but you may want to start praying at the altar of Saint Tom of Brady.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    Darth is probably an OK scientist, statistically it's exceptionally unlikely we'd get two completely wank scientists on one board.

    I noticed you edited out part of your post reject. It contained a little bit where you were demonstrating a very poor understanding about statistics. Is it possible you are learning?

    No it didn't, it contained a direct dig at you. Upon reflection I couldn't convince myself that you were a worse scientist than MBM though, so I broadened the post to reflect that. You can squabble between yourselves for the title of "Boards worst scientist".

    Back on topic I think Barf stands a good chance for acceptance as he will blend right in with the rest of the geeky virgins there.
