I should stop reading these topics so I don't have to worry about accidentally retaining the information. My head is already filled with enough trivia. Can we get back to more interesting topics? Please! Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

And unfortunately, Google and Wikipedia can't help me. Not much I can do with "Doot doo de doo doo... Doot doo de doo." I hope Vlish explains. In fact, curiosity is all that is keeping this thread open. :P Edit: And, ironically, it is what kills kittens...

Type that word in to a search engine. It is a skit from The Muppet Show, probably one of the most brilliant musical comedy numbers ever done. The visual gags alone stand the test of time. Never thought I'd have to explain this. This makes me sad. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV. Still no tasty vlish.

Still not seeing the connection between the skit and "Genevernum". Also, what visual gags? I saw no visual gags. There was the phone thing at the end, but that's about it.

Originally by The Almighty Do-er of Stuff: quote:In his mind, Delicious Vlish replaced "Mahnamahna" with "Genevernum" and, for some reason, he felt the need to inflict that upon us.

Genevernum and Mahnamana don't even have the same number of syllables.
