Do you Virginians realy talk like this?

Loudoun County News, Weather and Sports from Loudoun Times-Mirror

I'm picking on an old firend I grew up with in Leesburg.
We moved out of there in 1973.
Michael "Moe" Murphy was my schoolmate and best friend when we left.
I reconnected with him a couple years ago on Facebook and follow his stuff on the Loudon Times.
I crack up watching that video knowing that I may have eventually grown up talking that way.
It may sound normal to some of you but jeez, he sounds like a character from Deliverance.

The first time I went to VA (VA Beach) I was shocked at how thick the Southern Accents were. But of course, with the accent came the usual friendliness that the South always provides.

Dang, son, you makin all us virginins look bad, lik we stoopid or sum chit. Not cool qemosabe.

[firstdown]

I'd say his southern draw is little more then most.

My mother used to always say "Fah-jen-ya" instead of Virginia.

That guy sounds more Mississippian than Virginian to me.

My Dad lived there for a few years, didn't seem like a bad place to live at all. I always got a kick outta how everything is named Bull Run.

I have relatives that live there, co-workers that lived there, and when I was growing up in Northern VA, we had students who moved from there. There was a reason why they all moved, and one of the main consensus reasons was because of how 'awful' it was to live there. If you all didn't have that strip of just restaurants and shops (the name of that road escapes me right now), I feel like that town would be a zombie town.

You wanna see zombie towns take a drive through Arkansas sometime. It makes Manassas look like a booming metropolis.
