Since [DCnDC’s thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=641493) didn’t pan out, but the subject is worthwhile (and I recognized the quote instantly, myself), here’s another shot. “Daddy drank for the government!” ---

The KITH theme song will randomly pop into my head and hang out as an earworm, even if I haven’t watched any shows recently. _[My gazebo!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyb26_jNxQE)_ ---

It’s been ages since we’ve had a good crushing/punching battle. That’s funny. My daughter picked it up somewhere a little while ago as well but she had never seen Kids in the Hall either. I assume that she got it from one of her school friends who got it from their parents or who have seen the skits. I did sit down with her to watch them on youtube a while ago and we both had a good laugh. Then we clicked the one where the mechanics are having sex with the woman’s car – ooops. I had to click away from that one. ---

I hope for the strength to avoid the temptation to put my boy to bed with the words, “Remember, son it only takes two things to kill a man: Quiet shoes and the will to do it - and I have the quiet shoes!” (Seems likely the reference would be lost on him.) “D’ya like your eggs? They’re fresh! Straight out of my body and onto your plate!” ---
