For years, I have been awakening my children each morning with the commands: “ARISE, Sir Loin of Beef!” “ARISE, Duke of Earl!” " … Earl of Sandwich!" " … Milk of Magnesia!" It was years before they heard of actual “milk of magnesia” and died laughing to discover that it referred to an actual product. I guess they thought it was something I just made up (which wouldn’t be an outrageous assumption, truth be told). ---

When rolling to hit, I often accompany it with a loud, “HASSAN CHOP!” I wooed a particular young lady with the line, “I peerce you with ze ack-ack of love.” It worked. ---

(singsong voice) “Ah can see you through the KEY-HOLE!” \ “A popgun!? HAW-HAW-HAW! I’m a-pullin’ yer cork!” \ “There ain’t no place like a hole in the ground -a hole in the ground, -a hole in the ground. There ain’t no place like a hole in the ground with a big fat goon above” \ “No, no you idiot! A wabbit has long ears like this, and hops about on all fours like this!” bouncy-bouncy-bouncy-bouncy-bouncy-bouncy-bouncy \ “Oh goody! The Illudium-237 explosive space modulatah!” \ I think I’m seeing a pattern here… ---

“Now be a good little bunny, and give me your BRAIN” “You were expecting maybe Umphrey Bogart?” “I sentence you to the wearin’ of the green shoes” And my favorite song to sing to my cat, a la Pepe LePew . . . “Sweetheart, Pepe LePew loves you. Sweetheart, fortunate lucky you” ---

“You might, rabbit, you might.” “Oh, three or four.” when being asked for a quantity of a certain item. “Hassan CHOP!” Mostly when cutting up large firm veggies. “Iggety aggety oop enh enh, ziggety zaggity zoop onk onk, oo oo (pftht), ack ack (thbbpt), flibbity flabbity floop. It’s yoiys.” Actually, we usually just do the “It’s yoiys” part. ---

“But I can’t say Sylvester, George!” I’ll drop the **“Illudium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator”** gem whenever faced with some unnecessarily complex contraption. “I like to Sing-A…about the Moon-a and the June-A and the Spring-A!” and (painful confession here), my wife likes to use this line…" A wee bit small, but it will have to do". You can imagine the context. ---

A friend of mine recently asked me if I knew what she was dressing up as for Halloween. Knowing she was going to be a vampire, I said sure, she was going to be an umpire. Wrong she said. When I told her it was a Bugs Bunny reference she didn’t get it. :rolleyes: Ex-girlfriend actually. But bad Bugs Bunny references weren’t why we broke up if that’s what you’re wondering! ---
