Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They left out "George Bush's Brain."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hmph -- the Ugly Duckling and Loch Ness Monster are not "people."

(Also, I doubt that the Marlboro Man has been more influential than Santa Claus.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That's a weird list.
