If this had ultimately led to more Ultra Peanut that would have been awesome, but I'm pretty happy with what we got.

I loved this character, his greasy locks, and hick voice, in comparison to Phillipe's squeakingly perfect enunciation brings tears to my eyes. Seriously.

So...if that's Tigger (and I want to believe with all my heart that is what Onstad subtly intended), what happened to the rest of them?

You can't expect the world to put the safety on because you're sensitive about a certain subject.

Isn't he Scottish? He says 'Y'ken' which means 'you know' in highland dialect...
Which brings me back to the question, how the hell does onstad know that? How wide IS this man's field of knowledge?

I took him as having a Northern US/Lower Canadian "Fargo" sorta accent. However, there was a high influx of Scots Gaelic into NorthEastern Canada, around Nova Scotia and some islands there. But this isn't Saskatchewan by any stretch. I am unaware of the accent of the Nova Scotians, let alone with Gaelic infusions.

That guy is Scottish; not Nova Scotian.
Nova Scotians only have the faintest hints of scottish left in their accent. They're all "Oat 'n aboat 'n a boat" sorta thing. A real Scot would pronounce the word "boat" more like "buht" (like "book" but with a "t"): totally different sound.
And how do I know this?
My father was Scottish and I was married to a Nova Scotian.
Emphasis on was in both cases.
