"Heavens to Murgatroyd!"

"Exit, stage left!" or was it "right"?

--Snagglepuss (the lion)


"Smarter than the average bear."
--Yogi Bear


I accidently hit our revered spellchecker and it changed Murgatroyd to Muriel, Snagglepuss to snail, and Yogi to yoke! Wow!!

JFTR, I've also seen the James Cagney line quoted as this:

“I’m the king of the world, ma – the king of the world!”

Have to check out White Heat again the next time it's on and see which one it is.

Wait a minute:

"Badges? We dun need no steenkin' badges!"

Thanks for reminding me, musick! I wanted to post this earlier, and got distracted. One we just take so much for granted anymore that we fergit it was once a cutting-edge coinage:

"Does not compute! Does not compute! It does not compute!"

--The Robot, Lost in Space (with arms waving wildly )

The quote from Treasure was:

Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges.

The speaker of the lines was Gold Hat, the bandito leader, played by Alfonso Bedoya.
