Be honest now. What was the first thing you thought of when you saw the title of this thread? (I realized I'm a few days/weeks late with this, but I've been away. Besides, for some of us, Christmas never ends.)

I wondered who was too short to touch with a forty foot pole.

Er...

Ow!

Although my favorite line isn't in the TV version of the song (I don't think):

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With your super-nauseous naus!

They are - but the words are slightly different.

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseous, super naus.

You're a crooked jerky jockey and you drive a crooked hoss
Mr. Grinch -

You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce.

I saw "A thirty-nine-and-a-half" before opening the topic, and thought MILF

Then I saw your question, reread the topic title, and saw the "foot pole" on the end, and didn't really think of anything. I'm a little zoned out right now

Me four.

 

[tickledkitty]

I thought of the Grinch too.

 

[DesertPirate]

Can I claim a brain fart?

 

[voluptuary_manque]

And if DP can, can I?

I thought of the Grinch too.

That's for me, as well, even remembering Thurl Ravenscroft (aka "Tony the Tiger") singing it.

But looking at Tickledkitty's tongue makes it allllllllll better.

Thurl Ravenscroft? You get extra points for that.

Unfortunately, that is not really my tongue. Thanks though.

Boris Karloff was the voice of the Grinch and the narrator - that always weirded me out a little.

It was a brilliant choice, though. Perfectly creepy.

"I must keep Christmas from coming - but how?"

"They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming. They're just waking up, I know just what they'll do. Their mouths will hang open a minute or two, then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry, "Boo Hoo.' "

Apparently I've seen it way too many times.

Nonsense. You can't see it too many times. It's a perfect combination of sex and shopping.

"I came without packages, boxes, or bags."

I still don't understand how that works, of course . . .

What did I think of? An East European with a really, really good NBA contract.

I always preferred Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, myself.

"Ah, Magoo, you've brought down the house!"
