Okay, I think I've gotten the Newfoundland accent down in my head now. As I type this, I'm watching an old second-season episode of The X-Files, "Dod Kalm", which just started off with a mutiny on a Navy destroyer somewhere in Norwegian waters. The men who've fled the boat are found by a Canadian fishing vessel--and the captain of same was speaking with a suspiciously familiar accent. He was pronouncing "three" as "t'ree" and "there" as "dere". And my brain went "HEY! I know who talks like that!" Hee!
