that was great…often when in meetings and issues begin to spiral out of control and people are confused and the dialogue is getting kooky…I will often wait my turn and query “Who’s on first?” and begin the first couple of lines of this…only two or three people have ever understood where this was from….sad.. of course I have never seen a survivour or or idol episode soo I am just as ignorant…
steve speaking of survivor…and I know this is not much to go on…years ago I heard a stand up comedian and it must have been cbc who did a skit on why survivor would not, could not be filmed in Nfld/Lab…started off with a couple in a kitchen watching the strangers accross the bay set up on the island….
if in this magical medium you found that you may find it ammusing…again I know this is scant information
i am not allowed to say stunned as me arse to the kids…stunned as me bum has passed the momma censor though…
one I remember from my grandmother in reference to my cousins girlfriend was…
“…that one…geezz….she’s as flat as piss on a platter..” I do not think I understood it until I reached puberty… around thirty or so…

Holy crap, Tommyboy is expanding his horizon, reading other websites!
Speaking of kids, my 3 year old asked “What’s that?” when a commercial for tampons came on the TV. “Tampons,” I said. “What’s that for?” he asked. Fortunately, the commercial ended and his cartoon came on, mesmerizing him like all good TV should do. Phew.

The enigmatic tommyboy visiting my site… wow. It’s only a matter of time before he befriends my imaginary brother and his imaginary brother starts leaving belligerent comments here too… I can’t wait!
I’ll try to find that video on the Newfoundland Survivor… if I do, I’ll post it and you’ll get credit.
I’ll also add your quote to my tagline rotation.

Oh… and if you liked the “who’s on first” typography, check out the link to the Pulp Fiction that shows when the video ends. It’s all surrounding the “say ‘what’ again” scene. Fantastic, but the language was too fuckin’ racy for my virgin ears!

Ok, so I was in the bathroom straightening my hair one morning, and all of a sudden Ronnie starts cracking up laughing. He calls me into his room to watch this clip, and the whole time he is laughing and laughing and I am just sitting there with a confused look on my face. When the clip was over, I look at him, with no smile on my face, and said “I don’t get it”.
Ronnie says, ” ‘Who’ is the name of the guy on 1st base, ‘What’ is the name of the guy on 2nd base, and ‘I Don’t Know’ is the name of the guy on 3rd base.”
I reply, “No ones name is going to be ‘I Don’t Know’.”
Ronnie says, “Melissa, it’s a JOKE.”
I say, “Well, It’s not funny…”
Ronnie replies, “Get out of my room.”
So I went back to doing my hair.

Well, Melissa, it IS funny. You must get your sense of humour from your Aunt Donna.
I’ve seen and heard the original a million times, but I think the typography here gives it a little flair. I watched it several times, enjoying it each and every time. Definitely blogworthy stuff!
>> “No ones name is going to be ‘I Don’t Know’.”
Yeah, and there’s no such thing as a wisecracking rabbit saying “Ehhhhh, what’s up doc?”, but it doesn’t mean it’s not funny.
