Leeann was talking about cussing in different accents and it reminded me that I have not yet mentioned my newest “vice”. No, not cussing in accents; I don’t do accents very well. My newest vice (It’s not really a vice but it’s more fun when I think of it that way.) is Top Gear on BBC America. Not that they cuss a lot; it’s the everything being cooler with a British accent thing that reminded me.

There is an American version of Top Gear. I saw part of one episode. I suppose you have to be a car guy to get it. It seemed pretty lame to me. But there’s just something about guys with British accents talking about cars, and especially arguing about cars. They’re often very funny.

The show has a celebrity interview segment. So far most of the celebrities I’ve seen on it are people I know nothing about or have never heard of at all. The only exception: Patrick Stewart. I haven’t seen that episode on TV yet but I looked it up on YouTube.

    Patrick Stewart is one of my favorite accentists. I could listen to him all day.

    I love how stoked he is the he “beat Gambon.”

    Also, he’s one of those people I could probably happily listen to read the phone book.
