Haha, but you can't really type the "Bawlmore" accent. Or PA/Philly for that matter. I guess it'd look like this;

Wurr geohwin downy Yard n' watch 'em Eoh's, n' crack eohpen some Natty Beoh's! But Bawlmore is still a football teown, wurr wackeoh fer Flacceoh! Geo Ravinz!

...translation; "We're going down to Camden Yards to watch the Orioles, and crack open some National Bohemian beers! But Baltimore is still a football town, we're wacko for Flacco! Go Ravens!"

....I miss Bmore

The west accent (So. Cal/San Diego) accent has to be the one that I would want to personally have, but for accents on others, any variation of a Southern accent in a girl turns me on. She could rant about mundane things she did throughout the day and it would still get my attraction.

No. The west coast/California accent is very distinctive. Your short a's sounds like short o's; accent = occent. Also, there's the cot/caught merger, where "cot" sounds identical to "caught."

I never notice any accent from people on the west coast.

Pretty cool how our NY accents are the favorite
