I'm reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It's pretty good. Continuing in my never-ending efforts to become as annoying as possible, I've adopted several speech mannerisms from Huck. These include using "powerful", "considerable" and "tolerable" as adjectives that modify other adjectives:

• "I was powerful hungry by lunchtime"
• "She fixed it up considerable pretty"
• "Sapient is tolerable boring"

And saying "I reckon" a lot.
