This is what happens when I forget to check back on comments I’d left earlier.<br /><br />I shall just say that the reference to banjos reminded me that, in my ‘Lermontov’ entry, I had originally ended it ‘I shall pray for his Deliverance.’ However I thought that only those from Georgia might pick up the allusion, and dropped it.Simon Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515986779205716110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-58471650231475581782009-04-17T10:33:00.000-07:002009-04-17T10:33:00.000-07:00*Taps foot impatiently*

Everyone in the show is a white-trash mullet-head (Bogan, as you'd call it). But, as you said, it's done in an endearing manner. There's even a character called "The Daytime Prostitute."<br /><br />And as far as the Buckets, I figured it was how they really weren't THAT high-class, and of course Hyacinth's sister and BIL were much much much less so. My mom loved that show, probably because she is Hyacinth Bucket (which is why I don't mind living 800 miles from her).<br /><br />As for Kath & Kim, I've been wondering what was so good about it that we had to import it. We rarely do a good job with imports, The Office being the exception, but it's produced by the same guys (Coupling was a disaster....one of the best comedies I've ever seen, and we rat-fucked it).Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544216856514863432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-12846264867710571312009-04-17T02:25:00.000-07:002009-04-17T02:25:00.000-07:00Yeah nothing like Mrs Bucket, more like Kath and K...Yeah nothing like Mrs Bucket, more like Kath and Kim (the Strayan version not that Godawful US version - though the Strayan version is pretty eye-clawingly putrid itself.) The thing about the Castle is that it takes the piss out of western suburbs bogans, but it's done in a fairly affectionate way. The guys who made it had a reputation for being cutting edge comics and satirists and that was pretty much the zenith of their career - they got fat and lazy and self-satisfied after that (had a bleat about it on the WoB)Dr Yobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032085614743539793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-80457637404049329202009-04-16T20:11:00.000-07:002009-04-16T20:11:00.000-07:00In fairness, I'm only stalking the women (those th...In fairness, I'm only stalking the women (those that wouldn't touch you, that is) and the beer.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544216856514863432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-67322064815494011722009-04-16T16:37:00.000-07:002009-04-16T16:37:00.000-07:00It is nothing like the adventures of Mrs Bucket - ...It is nothing like the adventures of Mrs Bucket - thank God!<br /><br />It is gold - and it has the quintessential (sp) Aussie bogan family as its stars.

This is a corner house. There are FIVE cars parked in front, and they stretch from the stop sign (so that the street effectively becomes a 1-laner, which makes it exciting when two cars are coming from opposite directions).

It'll be more like, "I just banged that chick out on the deck I tell you what, WOOOOO!"<br /><br />Lermontov, I'll get you a picture of businesses with Confederate flags, if that's what you want. The Union Army marched right over where my house is on the way to sacking Atlanta, so the war is still fresh in everyone's mind.<br /><br />Snow, Homeowner's Associations are not that bad. Not that bad at all.<br /><br />Indy, she stuck it in kind of far. Inhaling kind of did the rest.

I'm sure they don't live far from me.<br /><br />Yobbo, that yard looks like a number of neighborhoods throughout the US, especially on the outskirts of Memphis and Little Rock.
