*snorks* My Crime Cinema professor's accent cracks me up. He's very French, but he tries to speak with an "American" accent, overemphasizing his R's. The first day of class, I couldn't help but hear Spike's "I'm a friend of Xandurr's" whenever he spoke.
Today, he spoke about the French silent film Les Vampires. He said "Vampires" the American way, with the long "i" sound, but instead of emphasizing the first syllable, he emphasized the second, which to my fandom-addled brain reminded me of Andrew. The greatest moment was when he made reference to "Irma Vep, leader of... The Vampires" in exactly the same intonation Andrew introduced "Buffy, slayer of... the Vampires" in "Storyteller." I'm too easily amused, but I wouldn't have it any other way. And now, off to get ready for Little Shop of Horrors auditions! Bwee!
