So sayeth Mrs. Morbo. This after I told her “Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.” And then had to explain what I was quoting. Which happens alot.
Anywho, here’s a partial list of Bugs Bunny quotes (or Looney Tunes in general) that I still use…when the situation calls for them.
“Abra Ca-pocus. Hocus-Cadabra”
“What’s a matter cuddles? Did your toy break?”
“Unga Bunga Bunga Inga Binga Bunga Bunga.”
“One. Two. Three strikes you’re out.”
“Oh Bwoomhildaaaaa you’re so wuvewy…”
“Roota. Zoota. Soot!”
“THAAAAAA CRUSHAA!”
“Rabbit’s a good luck! Aatsamatterforyou?”
(French accent) “Oh, he does that all the time. They say when he gets near gold, a funny feeling comes over him.”
“Leopold!” (At every symphony. She’s learned to grab my arm before I can get it out).
“What a gulli-bull. What a nin-cowpoop.”
“I think monsters are the most innnnnnteresting people, don’t you?”
Please add your own so that I can print this out and show it to her as proof that I am not in fact the only one.

I don’t say the quotes out loud, but I often think them.

“Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin,” isn’t a Bugs Bunny quote OR a Looney Tunes quote. Daffy Duck said that in _Duck Amuck_, which was one of the Merrie Melodies series.

Whenever I see a pretty woman who has had far too much plastic surgery, I think: “…so it’s mechanical!” But I don’t say it out loud.

I used that one in an email today and “meep meep zip bang” in the MMP this week.
Oh, I used “duck season, rabbit season” at dinner tonight when my daughter asked for the duck sauce.
What else?
“You realize, of course, this means war”
“I’ll love him and hug him and call him George”
“I want to be a pis-sy-chologist”
too many to count!

“La-da-da-di-da-da-da-da-da-di-da-Abraca-pocus…”
“DUCK SEASON, FIRE!”
“And what an innnnteresting monster too. My stars, if an innnnteresting monster can’t have an innnnteresting hairdo, well I don’t know _what_ the world is coming to.”
BB: “For shame, Doc. Shootin’ rabbits with an elephant gun.”
EF: “Elephant gun?”
BB: “Yeah, so why don’t you go shoot yourself an elephant?”
Elephant: “You do and I’ll give you _such_ a pinch!”
“Ho! Ha-ha! Guard, turn, parry, dodge, spin, thrust!”
“Typhoons, earthquakes, hurricanes…SMOG!” Usually quoted as I came on to the 5 during my commute to LA.
