Is now the time to tell the "Penis Van Lesbian" joke? (Upshot: he changed his name and is now successfully Dick Van Dyke.)
That kind of makes Van Dyke a beard for Mary Tyler Moore, doesn't it?
Dick Van Dyke was also in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There is a restaurant in Cincinnati (Zip's Cafe) where you can order a hamburger with a bratwurst (cut in half and flattened) on top. I think it is called a Pope John.
Cincinnati is a town that likes its pork.

Our wings are not tired.
I have much love for Dick Van Dyke.
I have much love for pizza with just about anything veggie based included.
I also believe I would enjoy any combination of fried egg, beet and fake burger.
Pretty much lovin everything this Monday morning, including Buffistas, as always.

OOooh. OK, hamburger with bratwurst sounds yummy. But then, many things sound yummy with bratwurst, in my mind.
Heh. My AcDec team was seriously bitter becuase my sophomore year (before I was on it) they got to go to Nationals, but then junior and senior year, we won at state for "big schools", but the small school winner somehow beat us overall, and got to go to nationals. Hmph. It was lots of fun though--I loved how well-rounded you had to be. I've never been a superstar in any one particular field, but well-roundedness I have in spades, academically!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
To tie the Dick Van Dyke talk to the thread title, I've noticed a remarkable phenomenon - Mention DVD to almost anyone from the UK. They will roll their eyes and exclaim, "Oh that awful Cockney accent!" It's always the first thing they say.
Although, the fact that none of you have mentioned it yet makes the phenomenon less, uhhh, phenomenal.

I have met Cockneys who regarded it with affection, as the funniest parody ever, but they're few and far between.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I reserve my Mary Poppins- ire for the American robin that shows up singing at one point. Clearly this is some England in an alternate dimension, perhaps where it's a few miles offshore of Massachusetts.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My mother is, strictly speaking, a Cockney.

What kind of strict? And I have to go back to my grandfather at least, probably great-grandfather, to find a Cockney.

In that she's Australian, and sounds Australian; but she was actually born within the sound of the Bow bells.
