Favorite Movie Quotes: At the Circus
My fave Groucho musical number:
Oh Lydia, oh Lydia
Say, have you met Lydia
Lydia, the tattooed lady
She has eyes that folks adore so
And a torso even more so
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the queen of tattoo
On her back is the "Battle Of Waterloo"
Beside it, the "Wreck Of The Hesperus" too
And proudly above
Waves the red, white and blue
You can learn alot from Lydia
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
When her robe is unfurled
She will show you the world
If you step up and tell her where
For a dime, you can see Kankakee or Paree
Or Washington, crossing the Delaware
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh Lydia, oh Lydia
Say, have you met Lydia
Lydia, the tattooed lady
When her muscles start relaxin'
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the queen of them all
For two bits, she will do a mazurka in jazz
With a view of Niagara that nobody has
And on a clear day, you can see Alcatraz
Say, have you met Lydia
Lydia, the tattooed lady
She has eyes that folks adore so
And a torso even more so
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the queen of tattoo
On her back is the "Battle Of Waterloo"
Beside it, the "Wreck Of The Hesperus" too
And proudly above
Waves the red, white and blue
You can learn alot from Lydia
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
When her robe is unfurled
She will show you the world
If you step up and tell her where
For a dime, you can see Kankakee or Paree
Or Washington, crossing the Delaware
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh Lydia, oh Lydia
Say, have you met Lydia
Lydia, the tattooed lady
When her muscles start relaxin'
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the queen of them all
For two bits, she will do a mazurka in jazz
With a view of Niagara that nobody has
And on a clear day, you can see Alcatraz
You can learn a lot from Lydia
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso
Here is Captain Spalding exploring the Amazon
Here's Godiva, but with her pajamas on
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Here is Grover Whelen, unveilin' the Trilon
Over the west coast we have Treasure Island
Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the rhumba
Here's her Social Security number
Oh, Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the champ of them all
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat
And now, the old boy's in command of the fleet
For he went and married Lydia
I said Lydia
He said Lydia
They said Lydia
We said Lydia, la la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso

What is in Steve's Refrigerator Today?
"What is in Steve's Refrigerator Today?"
I actually get asked this question quite frequently, even by strangers on the street, post office employees, and very surly clowns who don't like to use their real names. So instead of repeating myself, I'll just post it. My refrigerator contains enough hamburger buns for one hamburger, a mostly full jar of Adams Peanut Butter (creamy), 3 sticks of butter, canola oil, mayonnaise, sweet honey mustard that expired over a month ago, and mango butter.
There. I hope that satiates the inquiring minds of people who need to know the sordid details of my dietary habits. In the freezer I have waffles and one hamburger patty.

Morty Comix # 2400 was rolled up and slid into a pipe supporting two parking meters.
The white van with the crappy parking job had yappy dogs that were cussing me out as I placed this issue of Morty Comix.
