I listened to him for 27 seconds. I don't think I could have made 27 minutes.

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.

Sing song speech patterns drive me crazy.  This guy made and art out of it and I lasted about as Alpo did.

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.
