Stump the dope with your most obscure reference

Wd9598?

Coral Key Park, Florida. Faster than lightning!

Admittedly, I didn’t actually know that one, but I did recognize it as a call sign. Now… find Herman Munster’s.

The only one I’ve known so far is the Blue Velvet one…

  1. > EAT RAOUL
    WHAT A CONCEPT!

  2. “It’s all right, Cissy… I sterilized the scissors.”

…and incredibly, nobody outside the doper community knows where my username comes from.

Bless you, Labdad. The Martians will eat you last.

But I’ll bet you can’t tell me the name of the tune Bobby Millette barely plays 8 bars of before he is cut off the air.

The Frighteners.

When someone offers us something, my husband and I will often respond:

“Yes, have some.”

You’d win that bet - I have no idea! :confused:

Haven’t read the whole thread yet, but I’m going to go out on a limb and assume no one else has gotten it. This is of course from Family Restaurant by Uncle Bonsai.

My reaction to your answer was the same. :slight_smile: Great movie, but I didn’t think it was seen by more than a few hundred people worldwide.

Yup.

No, though the “Kent” was a reference to Superman.

Is that from Eric Frank Russell’s Wasp?

Pirates of the Caribbean, I believe.

“Want to hear my Goethe impression? ‘Take my Soul, please’”

Yep ! Great book.

No. However, I never saw it, so they might have said it too.

Well, now that I have read the whole thread I’ll just give mine a bump since nobody has gotten it.

another hint: bizarre 70s movie. The lead was played by an actor who also played a recurring role on M.A.S.H.

I hardly know any of these. Sometimes I don’t even get the answers.

RealityChuck, I think Go-captain Alvarez is a Cordwainer Smith character, maybe from The Game of Rat and Dragon, but I’m not at all sure.

Another character: Mistress Christia, the Everlasting Concubine.

Since we’re approaching the season, one from TV: “Ho, ho, li’l elf! Want a li’l piece of candy?”

HA! I pwn j00. :wink:

No, that’s a tuffy, because the 8 bars are in the middle of the song. It took me 10 years to recognize it as a minor 1934 hit called Love Locked Out.

“Yes, have some.”

Louis Tully, in the guise of the Keymaster of Gozer, I believe.

To reiterate my refs that haven’t been ID’ed yet:

“It’s Peter Pan we should be calling you. Away home, and watch your television. 'Muffin the Mule’s on.”

“Ha-ha-ha-ha! Wonderful woman. Very free-spirited. We’re all very fond of her.”

“My London house is shut up for the winter, and my aunt has gone to Sing Sing…to study the electric chair.”

“I am very willing to shelter your wee girlhood under my roof, but I fear you would find it dull, with no company save my poor chairbound self, my man, Hoots, and my housekeeper, now totally deaf.”

“Who’s gonna be staying there? Amphibians?”

Dirty Duck comics, from National Lampoon circa 1973…?

Absotively, Weevil?
Posolutely, Mr. Duck!

Did I manage to stump everyone?

Yes, I butchered the quote. I’m re-reading Gravity’s Rainbow and I just read that page a couple of days ago. It stuck, but apparently not hard enough!

Brilliant book, by the way. I think it’s my favorite novel of all times. Well, my favorite novel I’m reading right now, anyway. I first read it about twelve years ago, and I’m getting so much more out of it this time. The last time I was in a really great poetry class while I was reading it and I tended to concentrate on the beauty of the language. This time, I feel like I’m getting a bigger picture of what’s going on. Events may look random and silly, but it is actually intricately structured.

Now, anyone get my username?

No, but it is in part derived from that and from Shakespere and from the National Lampoon.

Oh Jesus, you bring me peace
When you keeping away them po-lice.

Correct

Deathtrap. Spoken in the movie by Michael Caine. I haven’t yet read the play, so I can’t say whether the line is in the play or not.
Now for one of mine (I tend to say this when trying to describe why something odd happened, usually pointing at two different things):

There’s that… and there’s that.
