ps: Isn't FogHorn a take-off from "Senator Claghorn" - the old radio character ?
Was Claghorn from Amos 'n Andy ? I remember this from a previous life, so
it's somewhat hazy. I think Shirley Maclaine has this problem too. ;-)

> "Nice girl, but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice."
It's not the best in my book but it's in the top ten.
Although, I really don't have a "best" quote that I can think of right now.

Just thought I'd throw in my $.02 (and my personal fav FogHorn quotes):
Addressed to the dog:
"That dog's about as sharp as a bowlin' ball"
After he used the trick bone on the dog:
"Almost hated to spring that one on that bonehead."
"Wait a minute"
"Spring...Bone - Ah made a funny."
To eggbert Jr. while teaching the fine art of rainmaking:
"you call that a storm boy, where's the thunder and lightnin' ??"
<< crash >>
"I hadda ask, I hadda ask!"
These next two are with respect to Prissy, mother hen of Eggbert:
"That girl reminds me of Paul Revere's ride -- a little light in the belfry."
...and my all-time favorite Foggie:
"That girl reminds me of the highway between Ft.Worth and Dallas -- no curves."

I'm amazed that I haven't seen this one; for some reason, it has always
been one of my favourites:
"What for you try to bury me in the cold cold ground?"
- The Tazmanian Devil.
I'm not sure why I like this one - it may just be the way he delivers
it. It's perfect.

And a personal favorite from that classic:
"Gosh it's hot..."
Much repeated by me a few years ago when I had strep throat during recovery
from oral surgery and had to attend a state academic competition (I was on
two separate prescriptions of penicillin alone but still placed 9th).
But on to more quotes:
"Pleased to meet ya I'm sure... howdi-do... hiya... howdi-do... hello!
Howdi do... it's a pleasure... howdi-do... hello" - Little John
"Caught crimson-fisted!" - Sheriff of Nottingham
And on a somewhat longer note:
"Royal ground? You mean to say that dis ground here is better dan dat
ground over dere?"
"Yes, it is."
"Oh, I don't know. Now you take this piece of ground over here; now
here's a nice piece of property - level, fruit trees, choice view,
improvements already in... eh, what type of house was ya plannin'?"
"Well, I, uh, sorta had a six-room Tudor in mind..."
"Den dis is just the place for you. And it's priced JUST right. But,
uh, first, uh - are you a veteran?"
"Why, no, I'm... uh.."
"Good! Then it'll be easy!"
(shortly followed six months later by "I hateth myself! I do! I do!")

The full quote (this cartoon is one that I watch a lot; it's on
the Foghorn Leghorn tape in the Golden Jubilee collection):
"That Rhode Island Red turned white! Then blue! Rhode Island,
red, white, and blue! That's a joke, son! A flag waver! You're
built too low! The fast ones go over your head! You've got a
hole in your glove! I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em!"
This sequence has some great perspective shots of Foggy leaning
in to Henery as he says "...red, white, and blue!". The tape has
a lot of Robert McKimson's better cartoons (compare them to his really
weak Daffy Duck efforts on "Daffy Duck's Madcap Mania", in Warner
Bros. Cartoon Cavalcade series).

Not enough room for the "Twang!" as his bill gets bent 90 degrees vertical,
eh? That whole scene with Porky as Friar Tuck is a classic, as well as...
"Yoicks, and AWAY!!!

"Yoicks, and awway!"
CRASH!
"Yoicks, and..., away?"
CRASH!
And so forth, with sardonic cutaways to Porky as Robin Hood wipes out the

That sounds like "Hillbilly Hare"
Some random lyrics just from memory:
Promenade across the floor
...
Promenade out the door
...
Everybody promenade
...
whirl, whirl, twist and twirl
jump all around like a flyin' squirrel
don't you cuss and don't you swear
just come right out and form a square
...
jump right in and splash about
trout, trout, pretty little trout
one more splash and come right out
...
over the hill and over the dale
duck your head and lift your tail
...
Bow to your partner
Bow to the gent across the hall
And that is All
Can someone else fill in some more of the gaps?
There were lyrics about:
Pigs (dirty little thing)
Pulling beards, poke in the eye
Falling off the cliff (promenade back?)

Promenade around the room,
