Yes, God damn it—I don't know what I'm supposed to say

Oh, dear God, classic film bloopers are a timesink. Must not stay up all night watching silliness from actors I love, even if Claude Rains blowing a line from White Banners (1938) and shouting himself offscreen with, "Oh, damn and bloody and bugger and blast!" (evidently entering that year's competition for George VI sound-alike) is one of the most peculiarly endearing things I've seen in weeks. I have to do something respectable and job-related in the morning.

I love reminders that people in the era of the Hays Code still swore like anyone else.

They seems to say, "Aw, nuts" a lot. Like Geoffrey Tennant.

Like Geoffrey Tennant.

Yes! A venerable theatrical tradition, evidently.

Yis, but are they talking about a plural of shell-bearing food-appropriate tree seeds, or...?
