Subdeacon Joe Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Half-tracks, the Willys Jeep, and the Dakota/Goony Bird/DC-3, the most important weapons of WWII. Unless you want to take one step back and consider the Bridgeport Knee-Mill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh...I don't hear it as singsong. Inflicted more than, say, the US Midwest accent, but not outrageously so. Beats a johnny-one-note monotonic drone. But then, with years in the SCA as a field herald, and more years of Orthodox services, I'm used to "singsong " litanaies and don't really notice, just so the inflections make sense, with the emphasis on the words that should have it, not just a rising inflection on the last word of a sentence, whether it needs it or not. The type of rising inflection that turns even a direct, imperative order into a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
