> [@jayjay](#): > > **Daithi** , your roommate sounds like a perfect candidate for the Dope. That was a sublime pun! I agree wholeheartedly! I also use a WB gag, but there’s no dialogue. Whenever I get near a keyboard, I play “Those Endearing Young Charms,” but I, of course, play the phrase’s last two notes first sharp, and then flat, a la the Roadrunner refusing to be tricked by Wile E Coyote’s piano-trap. ---

Wow. How did they write so much good, quotable stuff…? “That boy’s about, I say, that boy’s about as sharp as a pound of wet liver!” “O Bwunhilda, you’re so lovely!” “Yes, I know it, I can’t help it!” “Oh, Belvedere! Come _heah_, boy!” “Oh, we’re the boys of the chorus, we hope you like the show / We know you’re rootin’ for us, but now we have to go!” (with bored contempt) “Spear and magic helmet!” “One and two and three and four, she dances all day long…!” “Special Delivery for Bugs Bunny!” “Look no further, good friar, for I am he for whomst thou seekest!” “See yon rich unwary traveler? I’ll rob him of his gold, and give it to some poor unworthy slob. That’ll prove that I’m Robin Hood. Hmmm? Prithee? Hmmm?” “Climb the _Schmatterhorn_?” ---
