Unconscious Best Show references

[mostlymeat]

i am finding myself saying "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat" a lot

and also pbr's "what's that?"

and tons of others. tom's "ugh". i do that a lot.

creepy.

[erika]

I say "nem" alot instead of "them" and also find myself uttering "ew boy" from time to time.

And then there are all the times my boyfriend screams at me "What one man can do, another can do!" in his best Tom voice.

So there you have it.

[A.M. Thomas]

Not only do I imitate Tom, but I also emulate other characters from the show, real or not: Petey's Faffer, Bryce's voice, Philly Boy Roy's laugh, etc.

I've actually started making that little squeak that has replaced "goodbye."

And I do this one all the time.

1. I've got my 4-year-old son saying "whaaaaat" in Tom's high-pitched way.  When I read to him at night and we hit a nonsensical image, he'll say (e.g.) "A steam shovel with a face? Whaaaaaat?"

2. I also use one that Tom used on me...that also devastated me for like a week. He said to me on a bad call, "You flamed out, buddy" (Trust me, it's better to be GOMP'd).  Now I often talk of things "flaming out."

[wwwes]

I find myself saying "What's that?" all the time lately. On the more conscious side of things, I think I always call Ratatouille Ratalouie.

On the web page for my Rutgers class, there is a message board that I don't think the students will ever use, but I started a thread for things they don't understand from the readings or class discussion.  The thread title is:

Wait...  whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?

[steely damn]

I pretty much automatically respond with:

Proud Moments.
Proud, Proud Moments

[TVD]

I have a nasty habit of saying Tom's "HUH!" when he finishes a good call.  I did it at a bar and the girl I was talking to looked at me as if I had two heads.  I explained "It's... this radio show.... in Jersey.  Suuuuuper funny."
Yeah TVD and the ladies!

I do that on the phone all the time with people.

"Oh [name], what are we going to do with you?"

I say this way too often to nouns of all calibers; people, places, and things.  Examples: "Oh alarm clock, what're we gonna do with you?" (expressing my displeaseure at it's inability to wake me up). 
"Oh [local taqueria] what're we gonna do with you?" (at the moment of receiving the wrong taco and it's reticent consequences)...
"Oh local postal worker," (upon receiving another piece of mail for somebody else not me)
"Oh gas heating bill," (whilst glancing at it's astronomical price)
"Oh -" ok that's enough. 
And so forth.  What is happening to me..?  I feel different.

I've been saying

oh ________________, what are we gonna do with you?
uncontrollably these days

Yesterday i was in the midst of a conversation with a writer guy who i suspect has never particularly liked me. He was talking (mostly to himself) about a book he'd read recently that was (I think) about various dictators from around the world.

When he got to Idi Amin, I perked up for the first time in the whole conversation and, without thinking, went "Who's SHE?" PBR-style.

I think he likes me a lot less now.

[Sarah]

Ah, but I like you even more.  Does that make up for it?

[emma]

it certainly does!

Hahahahaha! You don't get many chances that tailor-made for such a reference.
