I’m from Boston and I think Rhode Islanders talk weird. (Sure, lots of regions have their own regional term for “milkshake” – but are any of them as bizarre as RI’s “cabinet”? No.)
One of the early SMDM episodes (maybe the pilot, maybe the first regular-season ep?) had a funk song over the credits WITH LYRICS about how “he’s my Six Million Dollar Man” and if that doesn’t seal the deal for you I just don’t know what I can say.
A pitch like, “We WANT to make our service/product cheaper and safer, but all these dang REGULATIONS prevent it!” shouldn’t work on anyone over the age of six, but here we are.
THIS RIGHT HERE is why I read the comments first, so I don’t make the same comment that somebody already did better!
