Here is me reading a bit of Goethe (I think I pronounce it right in the clip.)
It's kinda thin and shitty-sounding because I used a cheap, old microphone run through an adapter. Normally I'm not quite so soft-spoken, but the mic's effective range and sensitivity required I speak up-close and gentle.

It's morning here, and I am drinking coffee and feeling good, and thinking I might post to this sound bank. Perhaps it would be good to have an Australian accent up here? I won't get an opportunity for another 8 hours or so - I'll think it over and see how I am feeling then, when the coffee has well and truly worn off.

@Avery: Thanks for making my uterus tick. My friend just had a baby recently and every time she brings him over I feel metronome sounds coming from my abdomen. I like your accent, though. A lot. I'm a sucker for a good lady southern accent. I think they're rad.
I want to do one of these sometime soon, when I'm in the house alone. I don't have an accent, though. I don't even say "Eh" at all.

Thanks all of you guys. This is awesome fun.

@Flaminia: Glad I could be understood. I'd class my accent as rather mild - the *really* strong Australian accents we call 'broad' and 'ocker'. More like the Crocodile Hunter.

These are simply marvelous.
@Cris, great idea. I think I know what people mean by that hint of German (Which obviously is of Dutch influence). Very subtle. I love Umbrian accents. Exudes lubricity.
@ Avery: Cute boy. Makes me want to have another kid. Kinda. But now that my boys are old enough to make their own, I better stick with grandparenthood as my next delvation into human reproduction.
@Rebecca: You know you are going to have to have sex to make that happen. The more the better. I hear certain postions are more amenable than others. And locations. Strange locations have been known to yield better results. They conducted a study of partners who had someone watch while trying to conceive. The conceptions of those studies were just as likely to get into Ivy league schools and become billionnaires as children conceived in the missionary position without an onlooker. What I am getting at is your child might be more successful if you shoot a video for us to watch and post it on here.
@Pandrew: Such a well-behaved young gentleman. Have you ever seen Deliverance?
@Fist Kitten: That sailor fucking song is great. I wish it had visuals so we could see your delectable daveries.
@Kitts: You maniac. Dakota, you are one fine piece of work.
@Dave: You are even sexier than I imagined.
@Nick: You tricked me with the opening. Well played.
@JY: Lovely. Reminds me of honey and peanut butter for some reason.
@Closure: I think I have the hots for you now. My fuck knuckle does at least. Fosters is horseshit, still like the cans though. I like big cans.

@ Avery. Yup. It's pretty epic. I know this. Haha. The challenge stands, anybody else out there able to tuck their hair in their belt? You know what, I prefer longer hair on both males and females. Shoulder length is the minimum. Mine has been long enough to put in a ponytail since I was twelve. Have no idea why this is the case. Just is.
