The other album my grandparents had had the bit about the time the young Bill found a frog with an awesome croak that sounded like a burp. So, he put the frog in his front pocket, and went to his friends. "'Hey, Weird Harold, I betcha 50 cents my leg can burp!' 'Bet!' 'BRRRRRGGGHHHHPPP!' I made twenty dollars that day, with my burping leg."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I can still recite large chunks of the "dentist" routine. We used to listen to that cassette on family trips.

"Ibe... Ibe wabus wonderububing..."

He did that for his encore last year--it was terrific to watch it live, even though I could practically repeat it along with him.

I love his "Driving in San Francisco" bit. Whenever I get around to visiting SF for the first time, I NEED to see Lombard Street.

Mine is "Jeffrey." Especially when traveling and there are monstrous children, I start muttering under my breath, "Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey..."

"And the mother, once lovely hair askew, clothes stained, handed the sleeping child over to his father and punched him in the face."

One evening when I was visiting my sister last year, her stepkids had taken over the living room tv to watch the pre-Cosby-Show concert film "Bill Cosby--Himself," which apparently they hadn't seen before. All three of them (aged 10-20) were laughing uproariously. When Sis and I started singing the "Dad is great / He gives us chocolate cake!" lines along with Cos, the kids all looked at us funny. "You've seen this before?" "Oh, yeah, a few times..."

Ann, that's a ferret.

A former roommate loved to go through Cosby's "Noah's Ark" routine regularly. ("What's a cubit?")
