Balderdash Challenge

Ah, that word, "balderdash." Love the way it sounds. Instead of saying, "Nonsense!" one can say with a British accent by uttering the word, "Balderdash!"  I think it make conversations a bit more lively by throwing in some British words and phrases what I think is a hoot to say them.

A spot of tea, sir? No!? Well, I'm gobsmacked!

Anyway, back to my original line of thought my "Balderdash Challenge."

It's really simple and it's based on some people's anti-sentiments about my blogsite or rather more specifically about some of my blogs I've written. According to some hand-wringers' claims (see here) that my blogs are not, um, "compatible" with some of their ideological reasoning when it comes to publishing my pieces in Deafread (according to some people who commented). And my challenge to those people is simply this. Find my blogs that you think are not "compatible," make a list and explain in detail why the case. And when you do, be sure to present it somehow so the public can see it such as in your blog. Talking about it doesn't prove anything unless you have actual proof with your interpreted version on why one of my blog isn't "compatible" for Deafread. I'd say "good luck" with that endeavor otherwise it'd be all hooey on your claims of such on the effort for censorship.

Oh, one reason why I choose the word "balderdash" is because of the neat piano ragtime piece called, what else, Balderdash, written and performed by the famous, stupendously and naturally gifted ragtime pianist Tom Brier. Love to have that piano music sheet.



And, oh, don't use this video as an example against me because otherwise it'd be a bunch of, well, piffle.

Again, a spot of tea, sir?
