We have a designer whose demeanor, appearance and utter cluelessness reminds me exactly of Prissy, prompting me to use both the following this morning: “Is any of this getting through that little blue bonnet of yours?” “Nice girl, but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.” Also, “Don’t go down there! It’s dark!” “Pronoun trouble.” ---

“Him (me, it) fall down go BOOM!” “Whatta maroon!” Wandering off from the OP some, I like quoting Underdog (“bless you sir” or one of his inimitable couplets) and the Go-Go Gophers (the bit where Rumpled Feathers sez"Ooga-booga-yattayatta-gah-boo-hukka-hukka-hukka-gabbagabbammmmm[appropriate phrase] and then Running Board translates it “Him say, bus is coming[or whatever]”) whenever it’s appropriate, or otherwise… “And now for my next trick…” generally right after I’ve goofed egregiously. Even though it’s from an H-B cartoon I am famous for my rendition of the **Muttley mumble** – you know, that sotto-voce gravelly growly grumbled \*“sagga-frassin-baggamackin-mthafggn-cksuggin-gddmt-fullabullshiiidick dassrdly” \*that good ol’ Mutttley always does when he gets yelled at or bopped upside the head. Yes, I’m a toon-happy ol’ fart – so sue me! ---

What, 66 posts and no one’s mentioned “Ain’t I a stinker?” Also, “Some days it just doesn’t pay to think!” - Daffy Duck Oh, and “I may be a craven little coward, but I’m a GREEDY craven little coward.” ---

I can do the Muttley laugh. All the way back to the _Wacky Races_. I did a fair Woody woodpecker too. “Le puff! Le pant! Le puff! Le pant!” I loved those episodes where the cat turned the tables on Pepe and ended up chasing him. When I receive parcels, I always picture the return address as “ACME PRODUCTS \_” ---

Part of my life’s soundtrack is Carl Stalling’s music. Slight hijack: for those interested, there’s a Carl Stalling Project Volume 2 available - I have Volume 1 and it makes me giggle like a loon. ---

“You may think I’m dethpicable but I’m different - pain HURTHS me!” -Daffy Duck (That was my email sig for a long time.) “That boy - I say that boy’s gonna need a slide rule to find me in here!” “No, I’d better not look. I might still be in there.” (also Foghorn Leghorn) I could grab my copy of [Beck and Freewald](http://www.amazon.com/Looney-Tunes-Merrie-Melodies-Illustrated/dp/0805008942/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1225455626&sr=1-3) off the shelf, but I’d be at this all day! (No home is complete without reference books 😉 ) My first internet posting was to the alt.animation.warner-bros news group. I got **Mama Zappa** a Pepe LePew apron and figurine - does that count? No? How about chasing her around the house calling her “My petite femme skunk” in a really bad Maurice Chevalier imitation? (Brain bleach for everybody!) ---

Along with many of those that have already been quoted: “Open, duuuh, saddlesoap? Open, duuuh, sarsaparilla? Open, duuuuh, septagenarian? Open, duuuuuh, sesame?” “Out of victims? Out of victims? Captain of the guards!! Find me a victim, or _you’ll_ be the next victim!” “Norf winds bwow! Souf winds bwow!” “I’m a dirty skunk?!?! I’m a dirty skunk?!?!” …there are more, I’ll think of them throughout the day. Oh- and I often hum the little tune Bugs dances to in front of the bull- it’s famous but the name escapes me- dun dun dun dun dun dun dun… \, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun… \, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun… \, (then the fourth time when he honks the bull’s nose, I usually honk my wife’s boob). ---
