Not all Long Islander's

have Long Island accents...

Unfortunately, the only time anyone from Long Island makes news, it the Amy Fishah's the Joey Buddafookoos, the Carolyn McCarthy's...

It depends upon where you were raised...when I go to areas where the LI accent is thick, I tend to 'break out' the accent a bit. Not everyone around here speaks like Ralph Maccio in My Cousin Vinny. But I gotta admit, Joe Pesci & Marisa Tomei did NAIL the accent beautifully

The Bahstin Brahmin doesn't have an accent, yet Ted Kennedy's is as thick as Chivas...er-ahh Chowdah.

All depends upon the area in which you were raised...
