I actually have had somebody ask me that exact same question (except they were drunk), and I responded less with a long-winded and sarcastic description of a ficticious CELEBRATION OF ANOTHER COUNTRY'S INDEPENCENCE YOU IDIOTIC WASTE OF CARBON than with a punch to the nuts (I was drunk as well).

On a related note I like to ask people what the real significance of Cinco de Mayo is, then murder those who say anything about "Mexican Independence Day (that's September 16th)".

The kiwi accent is pretty hard to imitate – seen many foreigners try to do it but they all come out sounding Australian *sigh* Bet you didn't think you had any kiwis reading HE eh?

I dont think I've talked to any New Zealander(?) readers directly. Several from Australia frequent the comments, though. I can at least imitate both members of Flight of the Conchords of that counts.

Doing better than 99% of Americans that's for sure – amazed how well Flight of the COnchords is doing in the States. By the way New Zealand is not as backward as depicted in the series – as you can see I'm using the Internet

Americans have an accent? i thought we just talked normal and everyone else was a variation on the theme.

Possibly, or a, “But look what you poor bastards have been missing out on for two hundred years!”

Another good story about that guy is that when he came over he wasn’t parachute qualified with the British Army, so they got an agreement with Fort Bragg (home of the XVIII Airborne Corps) to train him here. However each morning, I guess they make them all stand at attention and when they call roll they had to give their numbers. Because he was the lone Brit and didn’t have one, they assigned him one-007. Let it never be said the army has no sense of humor.

Well… I guess it wouldn't be hard to speak perfect Kiwi. I can only do it in short, controlled bursts though.
