This is really OT, but:

The country music act The Statler Brothers released a couple of comedy
albums under the nom de chuckle "Lester Roadhog Moran and the Cadillac
Cowboys".  One of the sides of one of the albums is their morning show
on radio station WEAK.  In an attempt to pull it back On Topic, there is
a lot of funny material there, some based on exaggerated rural dialect and
accents.
