I accidentally taught my son that a moose says "Hey, Rocky!"

[bbernardini]

My son is almost two years old. A few days ago, we were going through some of his stuffed animals, and he was telling me what each one says ("Moo!" "Roar!" etc.). He had no idea what sound the moose made, so I said that the moose says "Hey, Rocky!" and made moose antlers behind my head (think Dave Coulier). Today, my wife had him over at my parents' house, and she asked him what the moose said. He told them "Hey, Rocky!"

My son is going to grow up very weird. :)

1. "Hey Rocky" is better than...

..."Oh shit, it's Sarah Palin!"

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. "....watch me pull this rabbit out of my hat"

7. Somewhere out there is a remix of the Rocky & Bullwinkle show

with a techno beat and heavily resampled. Can't find it on youtube 'cause I don't know the title. It may have been the work of Alpha Team :)

9. Again? n/t

3. You're teaching him well ...

I refer to my boss as "Fearless Leader" and *no one* at work gets it.

Well, maybe that's not such a bad thing. :)

4. I've referred to several people as "Fearless Leader"

90% of them don't get it.

along with "Keel Moose and Squirrel"

8. Related tangent ...

In the game Baldur's Gate: Shadows of Ahm, which inspires my sig line as well (yes, I'm obsessed), in one of the town areas near the circus tent is an animal cage that is otherwise unremarkable.

In it are a moose and a squirrel that wander around. Nice little easter egg.

Someone supposedly made a mod that lets you talk to them, with appropriate lines, but I haven't messed with it.

6. So I've always wondered

What kind of sound does a moose make? Surely not "moo"!

10. Mine's the same age (about 3 weeks to his birthday) - Comedy gold.

Here's my conversation about animal noises:

What does the cow say?

Moo!

That's right, now what does the dog say?

Moo!

No, the dog says Woof. What does the dog say?

Woof!

That's right! What does daddy say?

Moo!

This was a month or two ago - now he knows a bunch more of them, but daddy still says moo, probably because my wife and I always crack up when he says that.

11. he'll be in good company

when my daughter started k-4 she thought that "twinkle twinkle little bat" was how the song went and actually argued with her teacher about it :D

12. Bullwinkle is from the proud state of Minnesota.

Feel free to pass along his legacy! :D

13. Uh-oh, NOW you did it...

[sohndrsmith]

14. No, a moose says, "Who's a fig newton?", not "Hey, Rocky!"

Bullwinkle slays me. Or used to.

Don't feel bad, one of my daughter's first word was "Albuquerque" (Elmo used to say it a lot....). Another first word was "curmudgeon" because her uncle was the quintessential poster child of such.

Words are great - let 'em play.

Ever read Walt Kelly? If not, treat yourself and find an old copy or two.

15. not weird; well educated. My daughter was raised on Bullwinkle.

We bought the VHS tapes of the show when they first came out. She loved them.

Still does.

suddenly, I find myself wanting to spend time with Moose and Squirrel

16. When my son was about 3 he picked up on the "HELLO...NURSE!!!...phrase from Animaniacs.

For quite awhile every time he would spot a...er well endowed woman dressed showing ample cleavage he would say that...quite loudly.

At the time it was
:blush:

But looking back it's pretty much
:rofl:
