Hey, change a few of the words and put on a Provencal accent and you get

I vaguely recall a guy named, IIRC, Bill Burrud, a sort of
rugged-dude-in-khaki, who was the one that usually got elected to get
eaten by crocs. I was pretty small then, so I may have this wrong.
Oh, yeah, Marlon rarely even left the comfy Walt-Disney-style library set...

"When _you_ get ordered by the producer and director to get eaten by
crocs while the nominal host sits on his duff on a library set with a
few African shields in the background, Mutual of Omaha can help..."

BTW, I do hope Lord Stefan, and everyone else, understands that I intend
no malice or disrespect whatsoever for the wonderful work he has done.
