Fong:
Are you sure about that one? I watched Laugh-In religiously, and I clearly remember Nixon while a candidate saying "Sock it to ME?"
But I'm not real sure he ever appeaed ont he show again. Google revealed only the appearance in Sep 1968.
But it's a helluva good line anyway!

In the same vein...
I just bought some new exercise clothing. One of the shirts, made in Malasia, has on its laundering tags ''do not wash, do not dry-clean'' and no other laundering instructions. Seems it would be pretty rank after a while.
I don't know what they meant to say, but I washed it and it is perfectly fine.

Seems about right for something made in Malaise :)

What I miss most about Laugh-In is Judy Carne's million-dollar legs. ...and Goldie Hawn's bikini dances, and (more seriously) "How'ja like a nice walnetto?" 'n' "Here come da judge!" You bet your sweet bippy, you can look it up in your Funk'n'Wagnells... SIGNS: The first time I saw that DRUG FREE SCHOOL ZONE sign I thought, "Is that as opposed to a School Free Drug Zone?" Really. Say "good-night", Dick. "Good-night, Dick."

We rented "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" and noticed that the little warning banner said "Simulated scenes of Sci-fi violence and brief mild language", Which made us wonder what, precisely, they were warning us about. That the whole thing wasn't obscenities, be warned, but contained brief sections of mild language? (Turns out it was "nipples" in a subtitle). I never see "Sci-fi" without remembering Spider Robinson's assertion that it is the plural of "scum-fum"
