Now come on, for a moment there you actually considered that reasonable enough to click on this thread?

Did you really think a fish like that was just going to jump in your boat?

Go back to your business and I will go back to mine....

PLANNING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!

I don't want the world......just your half.

1. It's true!
Did you see the tv movie--many references to Shakespeare. The people who created the show were geniuses, as are most people in the television industry!

2. Meet me down at the Regal Beagle and we will discuss it
You realize that the "joke" that Jack Tripper was gay was actually acceptable at that time.

I've never seen a movie or production of "Othello" I just thought it was funny, plus I try to avoid "blaxploitation" films.

8. or maybe
"Hungry, Hungry Hippos?"

Although the image of Rumwad's head popping off with that cool noise IS appealing...
