I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge I've got lots of lovely lira Now the deutschmark's getting dearer, And my dollar bill could buy the Brooklyn Bridge. There is... ...nothing quite as wonderful as money! There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash! Some people say it's folly, but I'd rather have the lolly, With money you can make a splash! There is nothing quite as wonderful as money! There is nothing like a newly minted pound! Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker It's accountancy that makes the world go round! You can keep your Marxist ways, for it's only just a phase... Money, money, money makes the world go round! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money!

Money makes the world go round, which is why we should trust in economics and less in pseudo sciences such as physics.

That was very weird. I was just humming along to that tune as I went back to the computer and opened this page.

So my hidden cameras and microphones told me. I knew it. Quis is secretly Bob Crane, who faked his death when the heat got to be too much.

Col. Klink's cameo in the 60s Batman series maybe the most surreal thing ever on that show. And that's saying a lot!

Colossus from the X-Men often invoked "LENIN'S GHOST" whenever he was surprised.

Wonder Woman invoked "Merciful Minerva" a lot.
In the Reboot, Shvaughn Erin would go "Saints preserve us!"

"Saints preserve us!" is a stereotypical "Irish Cop" expression.
It is, e.g., the favorite phrase of Mike Clancy, assistant/partner to Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons, the longest lasting detective of the Golden Age of radio drama.

Bud Collyer, who played Superman in the Golden Age radio show, also did Superman's voice for the 1960s animated series.

There's a radio show here looking back over radio detectives of bygone eras. Lat week they did Father Brown, and we've had The Saint, Sexton Blake, The Shadow, Paul Temple, Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe, Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. I listened to a lot of Maigret radio dramas not long ago too. All of them are really good way of taking your mind off things.

Yellowface was when they had white actors playing Asian roles. The most famous example is the Charlie Chan detective movies.

Charlie Chan was created as an explicit counter to "Yellow Peril" stereotypes of Asian characters in Western fiction, but ironically ended up embodying a whole other set of stereotypical traits.

Yellow Cab, a fast food pizza chain in the Philippines (that takes its inspiration from New York's yellow cabs...!), has a menu item called Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta, with a sweet peanut-based sauce.

I never tasted "Goober-Grape" (peanut butter and jelly in the same jar) when I was a kid in the 80s.
I have heard it was absolutely disgusting, though, so I'm glad I never did.

I really hope that somebody has made a parody of angsty 90s Gen X movies called "Who's Eating Goober-Grape?"
