Da ultimate in parodied version of da cranky grammar-lesson term dat we all hated dealing wif in middle school; da teacher would probably have a major uptight hissy-fit (i.e., she would get really "tense") if any of her students made such a mockery of said word-type label. Here, it refers to a gala outdoor get-together whereby everyone hangs out in crappy camping-enclosures dat most folks would just walk right by (i.e., dey would have just "passed by these tents" to look for better-designed models to purchase) at da sporting-goods store, and where dey politely drink from containers wif straws or dispensing-spouts instead of just guzzlingly chugging said beverage-containers' contents in huge noisy messy gulps.
Da "Bionic Woman" star Jaime Sommers was known for being very easy-going and creatively "thinking outside da box" when it came to her teaching job (for example, she would often have her students arrange their desks in a circle to represent a cell or molecule), so if her pupils gigglingly asked to play a "visual pun" joke on her for April Fools Day to break up da monotany of English class, she'd likely be good-natured enough to allow dem to do so. I can imagine her astonishment, though, when --- after an extended "close you eyes and don't look" period while her mischievous "little rascals" were preparing said uproarious prank for her, she saw dat dey had fully transformed her classroom into a "passed-tents party-sipple" scene, complete wif an entire "community" of surplus-merchandise-level fabric-walled sleeping-structures and toddler-type enclosed drinking-glasses dat da students would all be imbibing water or juice from.

The enormous and magnificent-to-see iron-latticework 1000-plus-foot-tall "sky-needle" in Paris. France.
I could go all the way to the City Or Light to see the Eyeful Tower, but I'm content to watch YouTube videos of other people's visits to the lovely landmark.

A media-famous "rebel for the masses" member of the Himalayan constabulary who lobbied against corruption in said force.
I don't live in Nepal, so I dunno if Sherpaco's efforts have actually paid off. More power to him in any case, though.

The disgusting "mellow/yellow" procedure practiced during water-shortages, or implemented to lower your consumption of pay-per-gallon city-water.
Rather than practicing the "soft drink" water-saver rule to save on my utility-bills, I collect rainwater in buckets outside, and then use that some of the time to flush my toilet.

Being able to see better can indeed make your day-to-day existence a lot more pleasant, so perhaps it actually is **not** being excessively optomistic to think dat getting new glasses may make you significantly happier and more relaxed.

Having a Fed-ex can be a real double-edged sword --- on da one hand, if you two parted ways amicably, he might be willing to "pull some strings" wif da higher government mucky-mucks on your behalf. But on da other hand, if said breakup was NOT overly pleasant, it could mean dat said stuffed-shirt intel-rep could very likely possess certain knowledge and/or power dat he could use to "make things warm for you".
P.S. A third situation could also be da case if said former heart-throb is now actually an "ex-Fed" --- as in, he's no longer working a government job. Depending on which fellow-officials he knew during his employment and/or why his "lofty" position was terminated, he might or night not still have significant "pull" wif his cronies in Washington, and thus his "heat-creating" powers over you could vary greatly.
