#11  Yes, Zenster, it has permanently twisted influenced my thinking, too. Just read my posts, heh heh.

Needless to say (then why say it?), seeing them perform live on two different occasions didn't help things either. To continue ...

And in 1939 Chester Allen Arthur climbed to the top of his bedroom wall, thrust his defiance at the Javanese and shouted, "Give me them, or I'm going over there!"

But in 1943 the shrouded spectre of doom raised its head in agony over Germany;

"Das ist immer alles un aulung rauschmit neimenstinzt, ein potzen Volkswagen und schwell pizza!"
[/AH]

Speaking of ""Don't crush that Dwarf, hand me the pliers."

George Tirebiter: Boy, defoliating a victory garden sure works up an appetite!

Porgy Tirebiter: Hi Mom! Bombs away Dad! Oh boy, groatcakes again, heavy on the 30 weight!

George Tirebiter: Don't eat with your hands son, use your entrenching tool!

Porgy Tirebiter: Aw come'on Dad, it's not every day a boy graduates from high school!

George Tirebiter: How many times have I heard that before!

Ethel Tirebiter: My, my ... just look at the time. I'm going to be late for my bridge club!

Porgy Tirebiter: Gee Mom, isn't that bridge built yet?

George Tirebiter: No son [smack!], and it won't be [whap], until free hands [biff!] on both sides of the big ditch can press the same button at the same time! [thwap!] ...

#7  Zenster, wasn't part of that from Firesign Theatre?

Absolutely, Alaska Paul, in fact, all of the quote is. It's from "How Can You be in Two Places at Once when You're not Anywhere at All?" Their erudite and rapid-fire brand of comedy permanently warped shaped my own sense of humor.

#3  "We were small men with burning feet and hairy faces."
And they came from strange places with names like Smegma, Spasmodic, and the far flung Isles of Langerhans. And we took unto them, and they took unto us. And what did we take?

[chant] Oil from Canada! Gold from Mexico! Geese from the neighbor's back yard! Boom, boom! Corn from the Indians! Tobacco from the Indians! Dakota from the Indians! New Jersey from the Indians! New Hampshire from the Indians! New England from the Indians! New Delhi from the Indians! . . . INDONESIA FOR THE INDONESIANS!
