Title: "i can shoot cheese out of my eyes"
Post by: paul on December 02, 2008, 11:39:06 PM
i just want to say that for whatever reason, the way that caller said that made me laugh uncontrollably for about 10 minutes. i think it's one of the most brilliant things i've heard in a long time and i have absolutely no clue why. i don't even fully remember the rest of the call, other than it was about kids talking about superpowers. i need to listen to the archive to hear it in context again. but yeah, whoever this kid was that thought this up, he is a true genius.

The only line I can compare it to is:  "More pizza, slave!"
For me, it was a similar reaction.

Thanks, Paul.  That was me.  Or should I say, that was my son.  I had a similar response to yours when my son said it.  But in that case, I think my son's feelings were hurt by my laughter because he had no idea how insane it was.

A friend of mine recently told me that her three-year-old daughter lays her head down on the table and weeps uncontrollably when she's offered mashed potatoes or bread. 

In other words, kids are weird.

I guess she would not respond well to the Scharpling cold remedy: mashed potato sandwich.

Yes, I instantly thought of Owen when my friend told me the story.  That conversation between Tom and the bore formerly known as No-Smoking Joe is one of my favorite Best Show moments.

P.S.  Ike's daughter is weird, too.

Hey Jon, I made you some art. Don't show it to your son if he's too young for that.

What a crazy thing for a kid to say, yet how awesome!

Oh my god.  That is amazing! The beanie! The cheese on the finger!

It is going over our mantelpiece.  Thank you, Regular Joe!

That is a helluva* super power!  Perhaps it's less than ideal for fighting crime, but you'd be a big hit at parties!








*Get it?

The boy is at risk of being kidnapped by fondue enthusiasts, though.  (I see another picture:  a bunch of slavering cheese fiends squatting around the kid's prone body, dipping cubes of bread into his eye sockets.)

Now I know how Gary Coleman's mom feels.




I wish I had a dollar for each time I wrote that.

And with that absolute nonsense, I am a George Harrison fan!

Take that, uncaring universe!
