Ol' Cap was just funny like that.
Say, how does that twisting neck cure work, anyhow"

 While off-camera, multitalented Stymie performed a percutaneous discectomy on Dickie's herniated discs at C3-4 and C4-5. Relieved pressure on the nerve roots and thus worked like a charm! Wasn't Louise Emmons frightening enough in appearance and general aspect so as not to need her own accompanying *Scary Music?*

Well yes, but it's more fun to bring your own music. I personally show up with (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction underscoring my entrance.
Why did kids use the word "lick" to describe beating someone up back in the day?

They anticipated rat-faced Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins, who in fact took time out last year from his usual goonish antics to (I swear) lick -- literally -- guys on other team.
What ever happened to key 30s comedy phrases, "Sayyyy..." and "Why, you"?

They were replaced by "HEYYYY!" and "You little...."
Now we want Spanky to win the talent contest, don't we?

Nah, we want Butch to win. He's not in this short, you say? Awww applesauce!
Who was going to break down the door?

Homer Simpson, in "The Shinning": www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSXvTIR2AAgWhat possibly could have gone wrong from leaving cute little Spanky in charge of a bunch of adorable babies? |

He might have found some way to play hooky from his duties and go fishing.
Back in the '20s, what would the Rascals be up to while inter-titles randomly popped up in the middle of their activities?

"Monkeyshines," whatever those might have been. Don't think the word has turned up in ordinary parlance in 70 years.
Was Robert Klein, as funny as he was (his Watergate bits are deathless) actually *fair* to the Rascals?

Probably not. What fun would that be?

LOL. I heard about his having done that routine in 1975, but only saw it years later, though I've seen him live umpteen times and oddly enough have handled some work for a fraternity brother and friend of his. He took some cheap shots, but his versions of the Hatley/Shields themes were hilarious. Still, not as funny as his Watergate stuff... his riffs about the Stennis Compromise and Maurice Stans ("Accountants' Hall Of Fame!") are deathless.
Wasn't "to make your birthday turn out good/I give this present tooo youuuu" a reasonable alternative to the boring lyrics of the more traditional birthday song?

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" would have also had a nice ring, but time travel wasn't yet possible, although rubbing magic lamps occasionally worked, apparently.
Why was it so important for Spanky to borrow that Flashlight?

So his mother and father would be delighted.
Why didn't the Rascals' basement shows ever go on tour?

Nobody wanted to drag all that junk from Spanky's house to Darla's house to Alfalfa's house to....

Because every time you sing, you look frightening.
Why was Mickey Daniels the only ex-Rascal allowed to speak in REUNION IN RHYTHM?
