BS001 - The Mega-Minicast!

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

You know me, Shecky...


Seriously.

Pris! Awesome job on the podcast! Amazingly well done! YOu have such an uppercrust accent, WTH? I thought you were from Texas!

[Mickey Finn]

Uppercrust? She doesn't sound like she's Bostonian.

I was raised in the same city she was, BTW, and people in Europe think I'm Canadian.

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

Yes, I can buy that,... and I wouldn't say uppercrust sounds Bostonian (to me). Proper enunciation, fully closed words... Canadian does that too. So does British.

Just definitely not what a Midwesterner expects to hear come out of Texas, you know?

[Shecky]

Uppercrust? She doesn't sound like she's Bostonian.

Nonono - that would be simply "crusty". *nods sagely*

Oh, lots of people in Dallas sound like that. The Amy Ackers and Hank Hills of Texas are from the farther out subburbs like Garland.

So you're saying Priscellie and you are classy rednecks, eh?

[Wolfhowls]

So you're saying Priscellie and you are classy rednecks, eh?

Yeah, not like us lowly rednecks down 'ere in Houston.

[Shecky]

So you're saying Priscellie and you are classy rednecks, eh?

Among the many.

[Priscellie]

Thanks, guys. <3

I think my accent is "the TV accent southern people unconsciously adopt when they don't want people to know they're from the south."   

No, actually none of my friends in school had southern accents, even a friend that lived on a farm.  In my experience, cityfolk are far less likely to pick them up, as Mickey notes.  Alan Tudyk is from Plano, one of our nearer suburbs, and he doesn't have the drawl (though I'm sure he has one in his repertoire).  I grew up in Highland Park, so there was no chance of me adopting a drawl.  Also, eight months of speech therapy to get rid of a lisp when I was a kid may have contributed.

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

Heh - If you grew up in the Highland Park near my house, you'd be speaking Ebonics. *tickled giggle*

finally listened in, wonderful of course.

For the old listeners, I had to keep running it backwards to catch the release dates.  I know you've got them elsewhere but it was nice to get in one location!

"Hey Jim, give the industriously Lit' Gnome her own set of audio's, would ya?  before we have to pitch in?"

Oops, did I say that.  OMG--looking for lightening bolts...

[Priscellie]

_{"Yeah, Penguin, give the gnome free Alera audios!"}

Woah woah who said that?  *innocent look*


Thanks for the feedback, Meg!  I'll definitely slow down for the next episode.

[Mickey Finn]

No slow down!

IT's 'SPRESS!

[Priscellie]

I'll record a special high-speed version of the episode just for you, Mickey.

[Mickey Finn]

Woo!

Will it be personalized like the last file?


I'm so tempted to use sound bites from that as computer sounds. Curse at me next time you're expecting me to suggest edits...they'd make great error .wavs.
