I saw that one!!! And I so totally agree!
Yes, Harold is Red's nephew. That's why he calls him "Uncle Red." The actor, Patrick McKenna, played Dr. Jay Felger in two episodes of Stargate SG-1,
Avenger 2.0 and
The Other Guys.
There are some great reviews of it on the
IMDb.
we need to discuss your excess tv watching habits there t'rantula
Whoa, seriously....Stargate? Yikers!
Steve Smith and Morag are genius!
I've been following their work since the late 1970's when they had a funky little comedy show, Smith and Smith, on local cable.
Red wouldn't recognize Steve if he met him.
Steve and Morag live in a gorgeous old castle-style house in Hamilton, with lush gardens that Steve tends.

I just wanted to share that folks.
utter nonsense Dys, you've been had (or a very clever joke?.....nah!)
Duct Tape was originally devised to seal the joints on air ducts, and needed to be very robust, sticky, moisture resistant, and long lasting, hence rendering it suitable for other tasks, such as ammo boxes. The 'duck' part is serendipitous!
the remarkable part of the show to me is that each show is a 'virtual clone' to the last one; but damned if the same jokes, tweaked a little, aren't still funny!
The original use was to keep moisture out of the ammunition cases. Because it was waterproof, people referred to the tape as "Duck Tape." Also, the tape was made using cotton duck - similar to what was used in their cloth medical tapes. Military personnel quickly discovered that the tape was very versatile and used it to fix their guns, jeeps, aircraft, etc. After the war, the tape was used in the booming housing industry to connect heating and air conditioning duct work together.
Soon, the color was changed from Army green to silver to match the ductwork and people started to refer to duck tape as "Duct Tape." Things changed during the 1970s, when the partners at Manco, Inc. placed rolls of duct tape in shrink wrap, making it easier for retailers to stack the sticky rolls. Different grades and colors of duct tape weren´t far behind. Soon, duct tape became the most versatile tool in the household.
I heard the ammo box origin. Thhe stuff was invented by Johnson And Johnson and the name derived from cotton"duck". But thats what my rice krispies say.

sorry if this stretches the screen
...and here I thought it was because farmers kept breaking their ducks...
On some TV game show about a year ago they had on a person that designed clothing made only from different colored duct tape. Some of it was pretty good. They should be an honorary member of possum lodge.
we cant let this thread slip into the closet and get covered up with stuff.

And I can change
If I have to.
