I use "Don't Judge!" far too often...and yeah, I don't mean to -it's just part of my vocabulary now.

I actually said "I don't like it. I love it" recently in a situation that well, um, Tom really doesn't wanna hear about.  Let's just say it was for The Mike Show.

from Tom:
-"what's that?" . . .the tone of disgusted curiosity and emphasis on "that" gets an easy laugh—easier than I expect.

'I don't like it... I love it!' is perfect when my daughter shows me one of the two thousand things she's made in ceramics class, for example. But I think she knows where I got it.

I also use "You _________-dummy" whenever possible. Trying to get the whole "crack a _______ book much?" is too difficult in most circumstances.

Once I was at a weird and somewhat awkward gathering of two hippies, two of their friends, and my friend, trying to make conversation, or at least fill in the extended silences. Luckily I had my iPod with me and I randomly played tracks from the SXSW 2010 preview download saying in my best DJ voice: "Hey guys... how 'bout this track: SMASH OR TRASH?!"

I know it's not a joke, and in the end, after the tenth song, it was becoming clear to me that it was irritating as well.

So I stopped.

I think I just did an impression of Tom's impression of Garrison Keillor.

Whenever my wife and I are trying to remember something I say, "Can you Wiki that?"

Thanks to the Best Show, I now use "Eww boy" about once every other minute. Also, I'm constantly trying to think up new malapropisms.

Yeah, I have succumbed to using 'Ew Boy' a lot, although the real problem there is being in situations where I want to say 'Ew Boy' a lot.

when there's a group of people walking ahead of me & taking up the width of the sidewalk so I can't pass, I think to myself, "What is this, Reservoir Dogs?"

I've caught myself using Tom's Renamed Movies a lot, and making up a few of my own, since all i can seem to talk about is movies.

Of course I credit Tom for "The Handover" and "Wedding Crunchers," and credit Wurster for "Rata-louie."

Some I've come up with on the fly:

Flash Jordan

Big Traffic in Little China

The Depicted

Gangs of Newark

The Hurt Looker

Gran Tourismo

Mystic Rivers ... Which I then claim to believe is a true story from Joan Rivers' life.

The Dark Gnome

Inglorious B-words

and most recently Inflation.
