That first B99 this week made me literally laugh out loud. How many people loved that Durrells in Corfu joke as much as I did? I feel like probably none!
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have you been watching the show? (I know Durrell's story from reading him.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My Family and Other Animals was a formative influence on me when I was a kid! (Go on, act surprised.) I just read it to Ryan this year, and we all watched ' The Durrells thereafter.
All of which to say that I'm rather startled that B99 would be referencing it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Me too.
What was the "Durrells in Corfu" joke?

Yes! And keep meaning to read any of their books, but haven't yet. I assume Larry's books are actually insufferable?
dcp, the joke was that Capt Holt was using a Durrells in Corfu reaction gif in the group chat.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I do not know "Durrells in Corfu" and keep thinking it is a reference to that Star Trek ep where the aliens speak in metaphor or something gibberish and is forever being quoted.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
it is a reference to that Star Trek ep where the aliens speak in metaphor or something gibberish and is forever being quoted.
I never watched Star Trek (any of the variations), and yet people quote that episode so much that I know it, and I know vaguely what the quote is supposed to convey. (Just like I know way too much about Doctor Who for someone who has only watched 2 episodes out of the entire 2 billion episodes and 500 Doctors. If people post about something enough on FB, I will pick it up by osmosis.)
Although I have no idea what Durrells in Corfu is.
