Further commentary, picking up on where Luke and Joe left off...

1) Matt has directly said that quote at least 3 or 4 times, and I believe while Brian has expressed similar sentiments, much like "Play it again, Sam" from Casablanca, I don't know if he has directly said those words in that order.

That said, in hindsight, both Matt and Brian were justified in their concern for us bothering their parents, even though they both have been duly mocked for saying these kinds of things.

2) Stanley Griffin did say that to Jay Koeppel, where Jay and Stan were discussing the idiosyncrasies of Jews and Blacks, respectively.

3) I don't know if Martha ever actually said, "Blub, blub blub" - more of a paraphrase by Joe. So, I'd actually only attribute the quote to Joe, but inspired by Martha.

4) What, Treemis, what!!! That was quite a night.

5) I remember that song coming on the radio when we were driving around, and Harriet somehow convincing us to put on Z100 or whatever the New York shitty dance music station was, and getting excited and cleverly realizing that one of us had the same name, shouting out "This is about you! Ha ha ha! Max don't have sex with your ex..."

6) I wish I was there.

7) No further comment.

8) Dave Strauss, in Ventnor, at Chris Hall's infamous house-warming party at which many notable things happened. One of the all-time greatest ho yesses from the greatest ho yesser (in my humble opinion).

9) If memory serves, Daffy spoke this line to Eileen Guiney, in an awkward conversation where he said he was doing something on a Thursday, though he said the word in a goofy, drawn-out tone. Matt and Brian picked up on it and it became the tag line when referring to Daffy.

10) That was at a random party at 482 Standish, which was the Typhoid Mary of Teaneck quotes and incidents. Evan could have included a handful more from that night.

11) from same night as #10. Evan had, infact, hooked up with several bitches, one of them on the swingset at Lowell School. After returning to 482 Standish from Lowell, Evan's back unceremoniously but violently went out. He writhed in pain on the couch in the vacated basement, when Chris Hall wandered downstairs. After Evan related what had occurred, Chris Hall uttered this absolute gem of a line to explain this sudden pain.

12) To your credit, Joey, you didn't back down from these RP assholes - I did. We would've gotten our asses kicked so badly if things had evolved into fisticuffs. - I am glad you apologized.

13) The aforementioned apology. Discretion was the better part of valor.

14) I still contend that Evan, in fact, looked into the pinata at his 9th birthday party and said, "Look... they overloaded the lollipops!" while shaking his hand. The crowd of kids looked into the pinata, presumably also wanting Smarties and chocolate instead of the overabundance of lollipops.

15) Houx. Prounounced Hooks.

16) Stanley Griffin did say this to BPG. If memory serves, Brian had been talking with Stanley for a few minutes, when Stanley abruptly cocked his head slightly, stared at Brian, blinked several times, and asked him this now-famous question.

I know this is old at this point, but I have to say that the full quote, "Who is you, though?" was the single funniest thing I've ever seen.

BPG was chatting up Stan like they were best friends and Stan was reciprocating, but like the fourth or fifth time BPG called Stan by his name, he realized that he had no idea who BPG was. It was almost like meeting a celebrity who you feel like you know all about and they have no idea who you are.

Complete non sequitur. Hysterical.

8. Send a dove.

This was funny. I just want to set the record straight on another quote from that night. I definitely said "Cletus Goggin" and I don't know why Joe gets credit for this.

This is enormously petty and meaningless and I'm about seven tenths embarrassed to bring it up but the other three tenths just eats at me from time to time.

I'm sorry.

Joe Grossberg said...

re: "Cletus Goggin", I never actually said that. We were playing Trivial Pursuit at Hall's house in Atlantic City and I mumbled a sarcastic answer (long since forgotten) to a question. People mis-heard it as "Cletus Goggin" and cracked up, so I just went with it. So, indeed -- I never said it, never mind said it first.

What's the story on the "dove" one though? I don't remember that at all. (Was I there?)
