Eh, what's all this now? "Self-Demonstrating Page?" Bah, darned new-fangled Interweb contraption, should've never let that dog drag this stupid computer-whatzit in here! All a man needs is his TV, chair and newspaper, that's what I say! Nevermind, if you have to know, my name is Eustace Bagge, farmer by profession. I'm married to Muriel Bagge, and together we live on a farm in the middle of Nowhere, alongside a certain annoying dog, much to my frustration! With all that being said, this page is best read in the voice of Lionel G. Wilson, Arthur Anderson, or whoever else has voiced me.

Bah, so here's all these "tropes" that apparently apply to me, whatever that means!:
