That book is hysterical. I had many hearty laughs at it back in the ‘70s when I first read it, and again recently when the movies came out and I shared it with Miss Slippy. It’s laying around the house somewhere.
I still can’t remember what I liked best. It was either the Vee-ates or Eorache, daughter of Eorlobe, and her constant railing against the Serutanner with his Dicky Dragon dis and Dicky Dragon Dat.
Draw their fire
Flank on right
Narcs retire
Fight, team, fight.
Using every dirty trick
From booby trap to pungee stick
We hardly need the strength of thirty
When we can win by playing dirty.
Two, four, six, eight
Tiptoe, sneak, and inflitrate!
Cha-cha-cha.
RIP, Mr. Winters. I'm sure the Angels are getting lots of LOLs.
Oh, that brings back memories. I think we have that somewhere in the house, but I wouldn’t want Tom to read it, or I’d never hear the end of it.
Arrowroot (son of Arrowshirt), AKA “Stomper.” Spam. Moxie and Pepsi. Legolamb. Frito (nephew of Dildo) . Giblet. Ummm...Bromosil? And, of course, Goodgulf.
Just the names still crack me up. Sorehead. Serutan (spelled backwards is “mud”).
And the dialog: “Dildo would have killed Goddam, but pity stayed his hand. ‘It’s a pity I’ve run out of bullets.’ said Dildo to himself.”
I must dig that out and read it this weekend. I need a laugh or five. I forget what they called the Oleg Hai.
” Getting yourself delivered from bank to restaurant to movie house to school to church and then to home for rest so you can then be delivered to your workplace will entail no more difficulty than making strings of phone calls to each place. Simply step into the spherical elevator car and dial your location.”
This I like!
I will miss him too. There was no better actor for the part he played in “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad world,” one of the greatest movies of all time.
Aw, heck, I can’t check Netflix for it at work. Filter blocked. I wonder why?
I got dead’s book “Citizen Clinton” many years ago (autographed! I keep it next to my autographed copy of Barbara Olsen’s “Hell to Pay”), and a spoof of IAMMMMW was in it. He had Pat Buchanan cast in that part.
” We spent Deluge Thursday watching DVD’s (The Avengers and The Twilight Zone.) “
Two of my top 10 favorites. Y’ll got Klass : )
Ahem.
I sit on the floor and pick my nose
and think of dirty things
Of deviant dwarves who suck their toes
and elves who drub their dings.
I sit on the floor and pick my nose
and dream exotic dreams
Of dragons who dress in rubber clothes
and trolls who do it in teams.
I sit on the floor and pick my nose
and wish for a thrill or two
For a goblin who goes in for a few no-nos
Or an orc with a thing about glue.
And all of the while I sit and pick
I think of such jolly things
Of whips and screws and leather slacks
Of frottages and stings."
Sure!
Looks a bit like Pelosi, without the capped teeth.
My apology. The warning came too late.
I had to fish out four females. They
were not happy.
I did not have to fish out Helen Thomas.
