I hadn't heard of the art form before... it does remind me a great deal of the stories told on the radio program My Word, which were meant to ramp up to a terrible alteration of a cliche or saying -- more of a shaggy dog story, usually met with sighs and groans...though of course since it was radio, I had to visualize the audience's reaction. While Cpt. Feghoot never did appear in these anecdotes, it left me wondering just where they manged to keep coming up with advertising revenue for the program; I mean, who will buy this wonderful moaning? Such a sigh, I never did see...
