Would anyone happen to remember the Top Ten list from Wednesday 3/17?

It was about The Top 10 Irish phrases for having sex...

#1 was O'Humping...but I'm can't remember the rest.

Email would be fine...

Thanks a bunch!

Since everyone is trying to remember their all-time favorite top 10,
howz about the "Rejected Children's Books" that aired quite a while
ago.

One of them was "Curious George and the Electric Fence."
I quite like that one. :-)

One that particularly cracked me up is the last one in the first book:
"Top Ten Rejected Jeopardy Categories". Several stand out in my mind:

"Moist Things"
"Things Found In Wadded-up Napkins"
"Things You Want To Pound And Pound With A Shovel"

That's one of my favourites, too... but don't forget "What's that? Ham?"

I also love the ones with Batman in them (being the HUGE Batman fan that I
am)... "Screw the Final Frontier! Let's go see Batman!"

But last night when Bud came out in the mouse costume, I started thinking about
when Michael Keaton was on for Batman Returns and they kept playing the audio
of Larry saying "Is Batman here yet? I want to see Batman!" (I believe it was
repeated last week)... and then Larry actually SAID "Is Batman here yet?" (or
something like that) last night... heehee.. :)

"When people call him The Batman. It's just BATMAN, dammit!"

One of my favorite top tens was Top Ten Rejected Arnold Schwarzenegger
Movie Lines. They had Arnold read them (even though he wasn't a guest that
day). I think it was one of the funniest top tens I"ve seen. Some of the
list was.
-who else likes showtunes
-time to make the donuts...you bastard
-ouch a paper cut
-do you have the ouchless bandaids
-my what a lovely lace doiley

If anyone knows the whole list, please post it or e-mail me. It's better
when Arnold reads it, but I still think its funny.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen was Larry trapped in a copy
machine, hanging on a meat hook, in an American Gladiator's outfit, blowing
up in a truck, basically anything with Larry in it.

Oh No!!!

You've forgotten the best line from this whole Top Ten List. In fact,
this line would make my Top Ten - Top Ten Lines.

Ready, here it is:

- Help me Letterman, Help me!!!

HA HA HA HA

That one cracks me up every time!

I also agreed that this is the best top ten of all time...I don't remember
the whole thing but I do remember these two:
-Mmmmm...I love fudge!
-Help me, Letterman, Help me!

I guess I like that episode the best, because it was the show I went to go
see..

There are two TT lists that stand above all others:

1) Top Ten Rejected car names: "Pontiac Cyst, Dodge Johnson, Mazda Eczema
500," etc.

2) Any Top Ten list that mentions Gabe Pressman. (I've noted two thus far.)

10. He's wearing a paper trainee hat.
...
7. Tells you, "I can't help this man. He's dead"

3. He tells bereaved, "I'm pretty sure your uncle's in
hell by now."
2. Two days after the funera you see the decesed alive
again doing yardwork for the funeral director.

>(dumb guy voice): "Duh.... who's Gabe Pressman?"

Gabe Pressman is the :ahem: "Dean" of the local New York press corps,
which basically means he's the oldest guy still working in local tv. He
works for Channel 4, and is thus eligible for Dave attacks. The first
mention of Gabe in a Top Ten list escapes me at the moment (though it is
in one of the two TT books), but I do remember the other:

Top Ten Reasons Mario Cuomo Decided Not To Run for President:

#?: Couldn't stomach the thought of Gabe Pressman as Dean of the White
House Press Corps.

(It's one of those situations where you don't get the joke if you aren't a
New Yorker. Gabe and Mario are both just so...annoying in their own
special way that when you put the two of them together, the effect is just
mesmerizing.)

I know that this list is correct according to the second top-ten list
book but it was a bit different when it was read on the show.
Number 3 was originally "When I think about you, I touch myself". A few
of this lists had been changed for the book. The only ones I can remember
off hand are :
- "Aaiieee, killer bees!" was left out of "Top 10 Things Overheard
in the Line For Kickboxer 2"
- in the list "Top 10 Little Known Facts About Madonna", "Opening
act for the Blonde Ambition Tour - Buddy Hacket" replaced
"Opening act... - Carol Gold" (woman from the "Ontario World of
Science" :-) (She was a guest that night))
Does anybody know of any other changes?
