The Return of "No, Really -- We Talk Like This"

[gnomi]

Scene: mabfan is reading the New York Times after lunch. He gets to this article, which carries a different headline in the hard-copy paper.

mabfan: "Drug From a Goat With a Human Gene"

gnomi (sings): "Lay-ee-oh-de-lay-ee-oh-de-lay-hee-ho!"

I love you so much it is difficult for me to express. Mwah. :D

The Tech, in its internal lexicon, actually defined "doo dah" as a headline that could be sung to the tune of "Camptown Races, five miles long". It was considered an undesirable thing to let appear in print.

Ow. Ow ow ow ow ow.

I just finished laughing so hard, I may need a lung transplant...

I admit, I have now read the article, to try and come up with the next line.

Except... the headline needs one more ending word! Gah! ;)

I thought B. and M. made this up!!! I am getting a refund.

Apparently not every new source is as careful as the Tech. Lore Sjöberg created the Doo-Dah News Ticker which gives you all the current headlines that fit that meter.

"Made from their milk with a neat protein"

Due to unanticipated call volume, all representatives are busy assisting other callers. Your call is important to us. Please remain on the line and you will be assisted by the next available representative. (Dee do dee do DEET do de-de-do ....)

Or, y'know, blame B. I don't know where she got it from. Nobody here but us chickens. Or ... maybe they stole it from her! Aha! ::handwave::

i believe for me it started with telling one of my cats, who was being needy in the kitchen, "i don't have a thing for you." after that, they just seemed to be everywhere. and it didn't hurt that it drove you insane when i did it.
