Ya, You Betcha there now.

Yes I grew up in Minnesota, but don't hold that against me, and yes I knew people that spoke that way. Most of them were from "Up Nort." I'm from "The Cities," what they called the Minneapolis - St Paul area. More specifically my youth was spent in and around The Lake; Minnetonka that is; swimmin' holes and fishin' poles. My home town is actually Long Lake, a very distant poor cousin twice removed from the likes of Wayzata, home to the Pillsburys and other bastions of wealth and power. Aye, I was a mere sprout of a lad when I started working for me Dad mowing the lawns and a-planting the flowers for the well ta do, dontcha know. Oops, sorry, there I go mixing me Irish brogue with my Fargo-isms there now.
I have been living in Boston for the last ten years, and they make fun of our accents? I was working for a mason (brick layer type, not secret society type) when I first moved here. He told me to go get the taahhp, I said the top to what?, he said "the taahhp, the taahhp to covahh the cement, its startin' tah rain ya dummy." Oh you mean the tarp? Yeah that's what I said, the tahp.
Well that's enough of my ramblings for now, catch you later, Pat
