Would be country by choice, is city by necessity (can't drive).

The kids today don't know what they're missing! I think "Green Acres" would have been great for Aspies to watch, actually--it was really so quirky!

and I wonder if the English-challenged operator was really aspie? btw, did you know the person playing that operator is the same person who was the voice of rocky the squirrel in those Bullwinkle cartoons? none other than june foray.

I forgot about that character!

I think Sam Drucker, had he not been forced to conform, might have shown some Aspie interests.

I'd go crazy if I lived in Hooterville!

I'd probably want to kill Mr. Haney (I hate people trying to sell me things!)

I'd be irritated if I had to go up a pole to answer the phone.

I would like Arnold Ziffel, though!

I bet Drucker's store sold really high-quality, natural items.

The trouble with Hooterville: everybody knows one another!

Did you watch "Petticoat Junction," too? It was set in Hooterville.

"Cultural enrichment"? Ha, that's definitely not my culture over there. No I'll take my country folk culture any day. Sick of this ghetto I live in... and I'm not all that excited by other city culture, so when I get the chance to leave this concrete jungle I go out to the old fisherman's club, local gun club, or have a beer with some orchard owners, that's where it's at.

They just seem like real and simple people to me. Instead of being glued to a damned phone they're always out doing something real. That's what I'm about and I miss living out there.
