Poor taste? Pshaw, I say!!!

Post by Harry »

This site contains a 4-1/2 minute audio file on some radio show's visit to the B&B. (The Savvy Traveler, Minnesota Public Radio, in 2002.)

You'll need RealAudio to play the file.

The nerve of this reporter poking fun at us! If we can only get him to lie on the sitting room couch for a few minutes. Heh, heh.

You will recognize a few voices if you have ever made the tour or seen a video on the house. That should include all of us.

:lol: I couldn't help it, I had to laugh during some parts of that. It was really good to hear some of those voices again, especially Sally. I think the only thing that could be labeled as "bad taste" in that audio is the actually reporter himself hehe.

4 things....

Minnesota consumes more rice krispie treats than any other state per capita....

He is not so very charming is he?

Plus-- he is incorrect. After dark?

When I first came to America and I would hear people saying "O Pshaw" I always thought they were saying "opal shaw" and I wondered who this woman was and what she had done to earn a exclamation of disbelief in her name...

Audrey, you are so cute! "Opal Shaw"...

Harry, thanks for the really good link. I was forming an email to the reporter in my mind as it was downloading. "Bad taste", huh? I was getting bristled by the intro. But then that guy was funny! I enjoyed it very much. Laughed out loud a couple of times.

Well Harry, people make fun of someone else when they don't have the facts in about the person or situation.

I think we need to invite all the people who poke fun at us on this site and ask what they know about the bordons. Other than the nurshery rythmn!!

I was just explaining about the inaccuracies of the "NURSERY RHYME" about the BordEn murders to my students yesterday. In fact, it was one of my students who brought it up...stating that (in the words of a 7th grade boy...) "it was 'not true' about the number of whacks because it really wasn't that many. They only said 40 & 41 to make it rhyme." I thought besides being right, HE HAS BEEN PAYING ATTENTION !!! YEAH !!!

I'm surprised that "pshaw" was accepted in a Scrabble game. That means it's a real word. I wonder how it originated. I doubt Bridget was the first to say it.

Silent "P"

Post by keim »

I live in Southeast Pennsylvania, and have a bit of Pennsylvania Dutch in my blood. My Grandmom used to say "Oh shaw!" as an exclaimation. And in Lancaster County there is an "Oh Shaw! Motel". I guess we use a silent "P"?
