Duck Phone
This won't make a lick of sense unless you remember those Sports Illustrated "football phone" ads that blanketed the airwaves in the 80's. Actually, even then it won't make much sense.
Here's what you need to know: In Iowa, I was surrounded by hunters (I thought everyone ate venison three times a week until I was, oh, 18), and so they became the butt of many jokes in my movies. In this commercial for the fantastically titled fake magazine Iowa's Most Bloody Deer and Disgusting Fish, I play something around 22 different "country hick" characters, which is pretty ridiculous considering that I myself was a country hick nonpareil. Watch until the very end for my delicate portrayal of the "I'm glad I called" guy. Emmy Award, please.

Where can I get a duck phone? Are these still for sale? I would like to be glad I called, too.
Your delivery of "I'm glad I called" is a symphony of nuance.
At least you can say "I'm glad I posted."
So, was your dad a Ducks Unlimited guy? Is that why your house was chock full of beautiful (and utilitarian) duck paraphernalia?
You got it. And Pheasants Forever, too. Plenty more deer and duck parts to come, especially in "Misery."
I think referring to this character as variations of "country hicks" is being too kind...
