3. Well we're all out of cake.
We only had three bits, and didn't expect such a rush.

4. I love him.
What shall we call our son so he does not get the shit kicked out of him at school? We shall call him Englebert Humperdinck! Yes, that'll work.

7. Another Eddie Izzard fan!
Unfortunately, "babies on spikes" isn't on "Dressed To Kill". We also enjoyed the Death Star Canteen riff... We love Eddie. He can't come back to Seattle soon enough for us. The last time he was here, he had on his sport breasts. He said that when he came through the line at Customs in Seattle, the guy looked at his passport, looked at him (with the breasts on,) looked at the passport again, and said, "Hey, you shaved off your beard." The friend that was with us started hyperventilating, she was laughing so hard!

9. Babies on spikes was on it tonight.
I have the HBO version on tape. Decided to watch it again tonight just so I could laugh for one straight hour. I LOVE the way he uses history in his comedy. The man knows his stuff. Brilliant comedian.

11. 'And Englebert Humperdinck!
"Yes, he was the man. That's not his real name; he's from Britain, but that's not his name. There's very few Humperdincks in Britain. He was born Gerry Dorsey, not Engelbert Humperdinck. His parents were not Mr. and Mrs. Humperdinck. They never said, 'What shall we call our son so he does not get the shit kicked out of him at school?'

"'We shall call him Engelbert!'

"'Good, that'll work!'

"No, his name was Gerry Dorsey, and he released songs as Gerry Dorsey, songs such as ( mumbles ) which didn't work 'cause nobody could hear what he was saying. And then his managers, obviously, said, 'We're going to change your name, Gerry! It's the name that's the problem.' And his name changed from Gerry Dorsey to Engelbert Humperdinck. I mean, I just wanted to be in the room when they were working that one through.

"'Zingelbert Bembledack! Yingybert Dambleban! Zangelbert Bingledack! Wingelbert Humptyback! Slut Bunwalla!'

"'What?!'

"'All right, Kringelbert Fishtybuns! Steviebuns Bottrittrundle...'

"'No, Gerry Dorsey, I like Gerry Dorsey!'

"'No, we can't do it... Who we got? Zingelbert Bembledack, Tringelbert Wangledack, Slut Bunwalla, Klingybun Fistelvase, Dindlebert Zindledack, Gerry Dorsey, Engelbert Humptyback, Zengelbert Bingledack, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vingelbert Wingledanck...'

"'No, no, go back one. Go back one. "Engelbert Humperdinck." That's it!'"

:rofl:
