And there's worse to come, Chris is not a Chris as in Christine but as in Christopher! Even 'worserer', Chris is a big fat slob - oh, he's neat and tidy, clean shirt, wears a tie and no doubt showers three times a day, Americans having an unhealthy fascination with personal hygeine, but he is, er, big - all round - know what I mean? And yet ... and yet ... I love him! It's not what he looks like but what he says that has me in a tizzy, and also, appealing to the actor in me, the way that he says it, concise, polite, with all the facts marshalled without recourse to notes let alone a teleprompter.
You will have to take your chances and visit those rogues and rascals over at 'IHTM' in order to view the YouTube film, it being quite beyond my technological skills (stop giggling at the back!) to transplant it over here. Suffice to say that should he fail to win his election as Governor of New Jersey I would contribute to a fund to get him over here as leader of the Conservative party.
Of course, heartless scoundrel that I am, I realise that my new true love might clash with my old true love - MDS (My Darling Sarah) - still, to vote is to choose, is it not so?
Additional: Ha, see, I fooled you! You can click on this link and go instantly to the YouTube film. Even so, the lads at 'IHTM' are great fun and always worth a visit

Oh Yeah, I like that guy too. I wonder if he's got a cousin available to move to Arkansas?
One thing though, maybe two, fat is really in down here and those three daily baths? He'd have to get used to Arkansas custom and cut those down to three per month. On the bright side - a roll in a hog waller is acceptable on a daily basis.

A "hog waller". Sheer poetry! I'm really falling for Arkansas.

Admittedly, a "hog waller" is sort of an Arkansas insider's thing - but seeing as how you're an Honorary Arkie after all, I guess I should let you in on it:

I guess I should add (since me and Jeanie are expecting a visit with the esteemed blog author) hog wallers are real and not just the state's university mascot. Should we come upon a waller while out sight-seeing, even as crippled up as I am, I'd bet I beat you back to the truck.
That there's a Arkie sayin' that, "I ain't had this much fun since the hogs ate my little brother" should go far to explain hogs from Arkansas ain't your typical city-dwelling porkers.

Good grief, and I thought all you had to worry about was the odd mountain cougar. Truly, this internet-thingie is an education!

Pssst. When you cross the state line, don't say "cougar" that's another thing altogether. Here in the hills, we call 'em panthers.

Not 'Black', I assume?!

Nope.
