Awww. I remember reading a Marx Brothers group biography at my grandfather's house once that had a lengthy interview with Chico about the duck routines, including a long rant about Viaduct/Why A Duck? and how it really should have been Why A Fuck? Though what I mostly remember about it is how scandalized my ten-year-old self was that Chico said the F word.
Dawn: Is that supposed to scare me? Spike: Little tremble wouldn't hurt.

Heh. Google is my friend. I was thinking about posting this Chico story up, but I found it, along with another really funny one. The first is credited to Dick Cavett in the telling, but I'm pretty sure I heard him tell the second story (the one I've always loved) as well: [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think the viaduct/why a duck bit is from Cocoanuts, but my memory may be faulty.
Unfortunately, there isn't any really memorable line from the stateroom scene in A Night at the Opera.

I'm loving seltzer down the pants. So to speak.

Oh, right, thread titles.
Seltzer down your pants for the Comedy one defintely.
Less sure of the Procedurals.

I had to join in the "when did I join buffistas" discussion! I joined on TT (Buffy 5x5 thread) using (mostly) my real name. I switched to Gloomcookie when we made the move to World Crossing. First (hysterical to me) post!

I want more Dawn episodes.
Edited to remove tag line as it was confusing in context.

I just looked this up, the first few verses of the song that's been plaguing me:
Something familiar,
Something peculiar,
Something for everyone:
A comedy tonight!
Something appealing,
Something appalling,
Something for everyone:
A comedy tonight!
Nothing with kings, nothing with crowns;
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!
Old situations,
New complications,
Nothing portentous or polite;
Tragedy tomorrow,
Comedy tonight!
I'm kind of fond of "Tragedy tomorrow, Comedy tonight" for a title.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I like this
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!
That's pretty much my dating history, right there.
