I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I don't know that New Englander's have bippies.

Small flat ones.

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

All I'm saying is that we probably don't have to worry quite so much about using "et al." in a thread title, because a little thread drift won't kill us.

All is well that ends in pizza.

What is a bippy? How can I make mine sweet?

It's a cousin of the Fickle Finger Of Fate.

This needs to be a thread name, some day.

And in case anyone is wondering, bippy ≠ Bippity boppity boo.

bippy ≠ Bippity boppity boo

And, while we're on the subject (somehow):

Bippity boppity boo ≠ doobie-doobie-doo

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

which bears absolutely no relation to Scoobie-doobie-doo

Ann, that's a ferret.

If we ever start a general TV thread, "Buffista Bippy Drive" must be the title of TV1.

Since nobody's given any details on where the word comes from, it's from a '60s TV show called Laugh-In. Think of it as sort of a prototype for both SNL and Airplane.

The gags flew fast and furious, often one-liners. Some sketches, often with recurring characters. It included lots of catch phrases, including "Sock it to me!"

Of the regular cast, Goldie Hawn is probably best known today. Her persona was -- please forgive the sexist phrase, but no other fits -- the dumb blonde.

But then again, what does?
