One show on Tv Land had Schwartz explain why he added those in. I think Al was on that show.

Nevermind different topic

I was just sayin'... don't have a cow. Sheesh. Anyway, I know we had a topic around here somewhere. Now that I've gotten us way off track, perhaps we should find it?

Well, I posted that link because of the whole "Caruso" thing. And I didn't have a cow, ok? I did put a :P smiley in there, didn't I? And I thought by mentioning Al, I was bringing us back on topic.

So, any more theories about TBBOTIM? I have nothing to add. I've just been amazed by it all.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

72 hours of continuous travel to get to Darwin, MN? Without the automotive-breakdown theory, how far would that family have had to come from?

And what song shall we overanalyze next?
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Well, we've sort of started on Amish Paradise... Which brings up a question. Are the Amish technically Mennonites?

I don't think so. I think they are two different things.

I always thought so too. But it's unlike Al to just toss something like that in there...

I think it was a rhyming scheme thing.

Hmmm.... doing a little research here... it seems like the Amish are Mennonites, but not all Mennonites are Amish. They're both Anabaptists.

So Al was correct in calling them Mennonites.

ETA: A little historical info, for the sake of scholarship, fercryinoutloud. :rolleyes:
