Sometimes Spike's accent seems to be a little New York-ish. But I usually
think he's from California because he mentions that, and his parents met at
Aragon High School, in California. Which, actually, I've been meaning to
mention for awhile that the first time I saw that caption I thought they
were talking about *my* high school, Agoura. The resemblance was just a
little too scary.
