P.S. A Column On Things

Various Things I’ve Said/Still Say

February 15, 2026

In college (as part of the Eugene Oregon  show), “My friend the attorney, Justin Case.” And “you must consider that aspect, and if you’ve ever had your ass pecked, you know what I mean.” I have been using them inappropriately ever since.

Ditto with everything ever said by Firesign Theater, including “you can sit here in the waiting room or wait here in the sitting room,” and “like the hot kiss at the end of a wet fist,” which many people remember, but can’t place. Unless I say it, in which case they say, “Oh. Firesign.”

Now, to the point of driving my wife and daughters insane:

  • “I’ll be there with rings on my fingers and bells on my toes.”
  • “That (concept, object, noun of any sort) would fill a gnat’s navel and leave room left over for a Hollywood Agent’s heart.”
  • Someone says “I’m going to change [implying clothes].” “No, No, don’ t change, I like you just the way you are.”
