… and now, as my lovely assistant Trixie VaVoom shimmies into the Chapeau of Wonders, I repeat the mystic incantation taught to me by the Sultan Ali Ben-Gazarra: Omnibus linoleum nabisco… Hey, wake up! This floored ‘em in Reno!
Hocus-Pixdaus!

Sounds like NTMTOM, baby.
I think that Mike is likely to be familiar with the delightful oeuvre of
Senor Ernie Kovacs …..
Also PDQ Bach
When Ernie was on TV in Philadelphia, way back when,
I used to watch him. Lurved him!!!!! *whisper* I was in
junior high. Don’t tell anybody! Shhhhhh……………….
My own similar nondiscretion was watching M.Python’s Flying Circus
(the nightly program, at that time aired — I believe — on local pbs. This was *whisper* before cable tv existed!!!!
(I was supposed to have been asleep two hours prior ….)
Fird, were you a member of the EEFMS? For those who remember, this is an Ernie Kovacs thing. And EK would have loved this.
These guys are!
emberran: I was not, nor have I ever (knowingly) been a member of the EEFMS, much to my dismay and sh@me. You?
For Others who might not yet know these eccentricities, here is a bit of an informational thinggie (not on thet EEFMS specifically, but re. Senor Kovacs’ oeuvre):

Such Classic NTMTOM. LOL.
Hey! What about the lovely Nani Darnell??
I would totally hire Puppies in a Hat for my party, and I’m turning 34 this year!
Oh, you need to hear about the Spit-Bath King.
no puppehs in my hats
I want a magician puppeh! lookit those ear flaps!
p.s. linoleum? floored?! HAH! Good one, ntmtom
*snort*
I have flappy ears!!! Do they count, for anything???
TMI!
They keep you from sinking completely into that hat.
Firdie…are they nommable flappy ears???! I WANT THE PUPPEHS!!!!
*shy* I dunno, Emmylee!!!!
ceejoe: BWA HA HAAAAAA (devil face, which I dunno how to make)
Are those Saint Bernard pups? They’re just lovely, and of course NOMTOM’s caption cost me another keyboard.
There is nothing like a St Bernard puppy, and believe me, you can’t own just one!!!
That’s some impressive prestidigi-tail-tion!
LA LA LA…LINOLEUM!!!
Credo in, at most, unum deum
Caveat nabisco mausoleum
Coitus interruptus bonus meum;
Kimo sabe watchum what you sayum;
Lord, have mercy on my soul so low
Cute animals, awesome virtual snacks, and classical music geekery – did I mention I love this site?
Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice, S. 2n-1.
Looks like puppeh on the left is saying “rise!” and commanding the apparition out of the hat (to be discarded into a lump, like puppeh on the right.)
LOVE this.
What kinda puppies are these???
I want one! or 2–or3
Sim sim salabim! Bring those puppeh to me! … nothing….
Dammit! It always worked for Hadji, I guess you can’t learn magic from cartoon characters of the 60′s.
Ah, but you can learn it from Magicians of the 60′s (and their assistants).

I think these are Cavalier King Charles spaniels, like my girl looked 13 years ago.
Personally, I always thought “Meka-leka-hi-meka-hi-nee-ho” were the awesomest magic words.
