Malapropagation 2012 -- Revenge of the Schtick

Don’t let the **osprey **hear you say that. Although it’s flightless, this largest of all birds can charge you at a speed above 40 mph and is capable of fighting so fiercely it can ward off a lion or disembowel a human. Fortunately it’s a vegetarian.

Yes, I think you’re right. Hitler was a vegetarian, and he came from Ostrich.

Did you mean Austria? I knew Hitler wasn’t actually German by birth, but I didn’t know he came from the peninsula that juts into the Adriatic and is shared by Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy!

I think you’re thinking of Istria, a condition often diagnosed in women, by 19th century doctors.

And then those doctors would occasionally perform an hysteria to remove the womb and often times more.

Back to Hitler – isn’t Nostradamus credited with essentially predicting that Nazi’s rise to power, except for saying the man’s name would be Hysterectomy?

I don’t think Nostradamus ever predicted that Hister was going to be the last man in the universe or that the only thing that would keep him company was the hologram of his dead friend and an evolved cat.

I think you’re confusing your space shows - Lister was that telepath guy from Babylon 5.

Wait - I thought Babylon 5 was set in the future - why would President Bester A. Arthur have been on a space station?

A space station? Surely a chester would be performing his jokes and pratfalls before medieval royalty?

Neither in space nor in medieval times, but more like in the middle. As Don McLean pointed out, the jester performed in a coat he borrowed from Jim Beam.

Medieval age, middle ages, whenever, a job is a job even if you have to work for food and shelter. I’m sure the Jester doesn’t mind performing, as long as they keep those James Dean Sausages coming. . .

Well, Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows and the sitcom It’s About Time both featured performances by Jimmy Dean Coca.

Was Your Show of Shows still on the air when John Lennon first performed Imogene?

I never realized Lennon ever sang about Imagine, in fact I’m fairly certain that I’ve never even heard of any songs about X-Ray machines or MRI scanners.

That wasn’t about X-rays or MRIs - Imager was about the last stage of life of an insect, right before its metamorphosis.

I don’t think so; Imago Jones was an architect and stage designer but had nothing to do with insects.

An architect as well as an anthropologist??? And he still was able to escape from both snakes and the Nazis? That Inigo Jones was one busy dude.

Any anthropologist should know that Indiana is an inaccurate shorthand term for a freshly discovered land’s natives stemming from an incompetent navigator’s bad sense of direction.

Now that’s not right - Indian was a plant that grew in the colonies ; it was used to dye cloth blue.
