Is this the same accent the indie musicians sing in, where they do weird things with their vowels to sound like they ate a lemon recently?

I've noticed a staccato cadence to some speech that people might say is indicative of autism, but not an accent.

ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king!

DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

The AI summaries that Google spits out are often incorrect. I've gotten used to skipping them completely and telling others to do the same. I'm not impressed or expecting any real beneficial change from this new announcement.

Good work!

That's the secret, and it's how they keep it hush hush: they don't take dollars, only shoes. Shoes for the wealthy is like Tide pods for the incarcerated: underground currency. It's more difficult to hide a shoe in your prison-pocket, but I think the wealthy have people for that.

We just got a set for my son for his birthday. He likes the routine. We have a drip coffee procedure for us parents and I think he likes having his own thing. That said, he was disappointed in the set. The whisk doesn't work as well as the electric one we have for frothing milk. The cups aren't exactly his cup of tea, all puns intended. Etc.

I think it was important that he got the set so he could learn what he likes and doesn't like about the process. Lord knows we've gone through a dozen coffee gimmicks over the years trying to find the best brew. That is our experience. Good luck and have fun; it really is about the simple pleasures.

Nice one.

You just beat me to it. They had to rush the last episode since it was canceled, but overall a solid show that had an interesting take on a common premise.
