I'm less terrified and more 'Combat Stress Reaction' (less acute version of shell-shocked). I hardly follow the news anymore because it seems everybody's frantically trying to complete all the items on Dilbert's list 'You are Wrong Because...' It's too surreal for me to handle. My only media consumption are half hour gay 'Harlequin Romance'-type short stories and half hour sci-fi. Both are on YT and are wonderful, mindless escapes from reality and safe sleeping pills as well:-)

Love Trae. I didn’t think the southern drawl was real until we saw him in person. Agree on the clarity gained from the comedy. And thank you again.

Oh, Trae’s accent is the real deal. I’ve got some cousins—a couple you’ve met—who have almost as thick a drawl. Though they don’t quite have a way for words the way Mr. Crowder does. And he’s way cuter, imo, too. Thank YOU, Druuuuuuuuu! :-p

A few years ago his hair got long and shaggy with this whole werewolf thing going on. It really, really worked for him. Major WOOF! and he was told that numerous times in the comments.

Thanks Clint. Keith, Trae, Seth and John. I suggest adding Tennessee Brando, recommended by Trae. Major Richard Ojeda usually has the inside scoop. Malcolm Nance is very knowledgeable too.

Now then Clint some tasty snippets of a very highly related UK TV comedy show, from the recent past to help your mood at poopy pants antics. I don't know if you ever saw any on 🇺🇸 PBS of (Dame) Patricia Rutledge as Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearance. Her character portrays her as upper middle class trying to rise above a lower class family background. Her surname is translated into Hyacinth Bouquet, not Bucket. She strives to be better than everyone else (and dare I say it, a Karen) and of course she always comes unstuck. Her unseen son Sheridan and his flat mate Tarquin feature in a lot of phone conversations, without Hyacinth realising they are more than friends but it's never hinted at as 🌈 Hyacinth is noted for holding her Candle Light supper events. So, Clint I hope you enjoy the taster 😎😁 Cheers DougT 🇫🇴 🇬🇧

It’s been years since I’ve seen the show, but what a fun refresher course. PBS definitely played this in my area when I was growing up. My dad was a fan of British comedy, so we watched it regularly. And he explained most of the “adult stuff” for me. My mom was a bit of Hyacinth. lol

Some snippets of her telephone calla with her unseen son Sheridan

Her husband (Richard?) was continually amazed at how she completely failed to clue in despite getting verbally slapped upside the head with every phone call. His facial expressions were sometimes like its own story line, lol.
