'Little Elvis' is a common euphemism for the male genitalia. What Elvis mannerisms? Some other stuff: When we were all talking about various TV shows and films which seem to be referred to by TP, did anyone mention the whitebread 50's sitcom "The Patty Duke Show" in which Patty played identical cousins of opposite temperament? One was wild, the other mild. Tune in to Nickelodeon some time and just watch the credits. Someone asked why Hank shot Leo: because he and Ben have decided that Leo's too much of a loose cannon. By the way: BOB and DAD are palindromes, not anagrams. The soundtrack song "Freshly Squeezed" isn't just a new version of Audrey's music. It's what's playing when Cooper is having breakfast one day and he says that he wants a glass of grapefruit juice, "... but only if those grapefruits..."

Perhaps Bob helped out around the studio. Bill Sherman sherman@math.ucla.edu ... then the ant got stepped on and the grasshopper drove to Florida for the winter in his sports car. - Muppet fables
