Most of ours come from Gary Larson cartoons.<br /><br />When we see somebody doing something smart: "Look what Thag do!"<br /><br />When we see a dubious character: "How nature says: Stay away!"<br /><br />Usually referring to Mojo: "He only has a brain the size of a walnut." (That's a paraphrase.)<br /><br />Certainly many from The Princess Bride. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." This, usually when watching political speeches.<br /><br />We also just use: "INCONCEIVABLE!"<br /><br />Those are just off the top of my head.ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044863062652781155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568334561722760329.post-27558193385736472842013-02-17T14:24:57.861-08:002013-02-17T14:24:57.861-08:00If there had never been a Stan Freberg, my family ...If there had never been a Stan Freberg, my family would have never spoken a word to each other.<br /><br />"Would you like to ... talk about it?"<br /><br />"You out of luck today.
