Okay, folks, somebody asked me to identify the film in which Stymie says "Get behind me Satan, and don't push" - and I'm totally drawing a blank. I'm sure at least ONE of you guys can answer this in no time at all! Was it "Fish Hooky?"

I'm not sure, but it I was to guess, I'd say it was "Fish Hooky."

Yes, it's from Fish Hooky. Stymie delivers the line in response to Joe Cobb and Farina when they say that they're planning to go fishing instead of attending school.

That's one of my all time favorite Rascal quotes.

Oh so it is from Fish Hooky. I knew that I heard it recently (I just watched that film). Stymie seems to have a lot of good quotes.  |

We can thank H.M. Walker for many of those great quotes (and title cards). Even though Walker retired by the time "Fish Hooky" was made, I'm wondering if he lent the "Satan" quote to the writers by any chance.

This quote reminds me.... It seems like they depicted the Stymie character as having religious influences or coming from a church-going family. This idea comes from certain other things that he says. Such as the time when he was begging for food around the neighborhood, a lady asked Stymie if Petie was a vegetarian, and he replied, "No, he's just like me... he's a Methodist". Also, when Dickie told Stymie that he wanted to buy a dress for his mom in "Birthday Blues" and wondered how he can raise the money to do so, Stymie gives him the idea of baking a cake with surprises in it, and selling it by the slice, and said the idea came from the minister at the church he attended. Not that there was anything wrong with that, mind you. Actually, Stymie was a great character, and was given a lot of the witty lines. I liked the way he said something cute, and then he grinned really quickly from ear-to-ear. Which he seemed to do often.  |

Of course, we can't forget that Stymie and Farina were seen at a church in "Little Daddy". By the way, wasn't Matthew Beard's dad a pastor? |

Sadly, I never saw "Little Daddy", but I heard a lot about that episode. I was able to record a few episodes a few years ago when they showed them on AMC, but this was not one of them that they showed. Apparently just because there were a few goofy people who thought it was "racial". Maybe I'll get a chance to see it sometime; I hear it's a wonderful, heartwarming episode. Yes, I have heard that Stymie's dad was a pastor. I think I saw that info in the Maltin/Bann book. |

Out of all of the shorts that were taken out of the Little Rascals TV package, I really think this one should have been kept in. I never really felt there was anything "racist" about it (although some modern day viewers might be confused about the fact that Farina and Stymie live in what could be considered a shack). Actually, I think this short is pretty positive, especially when we see the rest of the gang stick up for Farina and Stymie at the end of the film. This was also apparently Matthew Beard's favorite Our Gang short. |

In my opinion, people are missing out on some great wholesome messages (such as what "Our Gang" and other programming) has to offer because they are too busy nitpicking. |

One of my favorite quotes from Mathew (Stymie) Beard was from Maude. Maude and Walter have had a fight, and Walter has gone to a hotel. Vivian has urged Maude to face Walter and to say "I love you, acccept me as I am." Maude goes to the wrong door knocks, closes her eyes and says, "My darling. I love you. Please accept me the way I am." But it isn't Walter--it's Stymie. Maude does a brief double take, then Stymie says "Lady, you ain't young enough, you ain't short enough, and you ain't dark enough" and quickly closes the door.
