Kansas City? Southern accents? What planet are you from space man?
Sorry, couldn't help the ribbing...I'm North Carolina born and raised and my dad's side of the family ALL live in Alabama. Needless to say, I'm sure a Kansas City accent would barely faze me.
I guess I'm lucky...I have a straight up, white bread American accent (dem's da benefits of watching a bunch of TV when I was a kid)...it's impossible to deduce where I'm from. I kinda dig it. People from my own state ask me where I'm originally from...people from Northern metropolitan areas start joking with me about how funny Southern accents sound. I let them dig themselves a big hole, then spring my origin on them. Ah, the expressions and back-peddling are priceless! I'm too easily amused, I guess...

I can't stand the itching but I don't mind the swelling...
