I can say that I did hold back a SNARF when it was said that Starfire kept the accent alive. Amie nailed it on the head about what Zak wanted us to do. I worked the year with Tiny and Tina and Christine, I was the little one in the middle. When I'd look at Tiny and say "I don't think I'm that great at selling swords." Tiny would look at me and say "I didn't hire you to sell swords. I hired you because you're funny."
You had to be there for days when Tiny and myself would go through the whole story of 'What a Claymore was used for.' with accompanying sound effects and visuals. And of course everyone that works for Starfire is the envy of the faire because we're allowed to berate and belittle anyone with a rusty sword!!! If you're not afraid of that just wait until you're being yelled at in front of a full faire ground by a 5'7" Irish man and you're cowering trying to find the nearest hole. Aahhh, those were the days. I'd never leave the booth because it was so much fun there....um...ah...where was I again? Oh...this is the complaint board, oops. What Amie said 'ditto'.

I don't remember anyone saying that Starfire boothies were notable for their accents. They're notable for being characters! Look at the rogues gallery on this thread alone: Amy, Christa & Sean. With big bushy Zak lurking in the background. If you don't find these folks amusing just for being themselves... well, have another drink and try again.
