text: The spinal vertebrae are separated by cartilage disks filled with a gelatinous substance, that provide cushioning to the spinal column. These disks may move out of place or rupture from trauma or strain, especially if degenerative changes have occurred in the disk. When the disk moves out of place nerve roots (large nerves that branch out from the spinal cord) may become compressed resulting in neurological symptoms, such as pain, sensory and motor changes.

"The Lunchbox Fund is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing a daily meal for orphaned and vulnerable school children in township and rural areas of South Africa, a country where 65% of all children live in poverty." The Executive Board in the US includes Joaquin Phoenix, Rain Phoenix, Summer Phoenix, and Topaz Page-Green. Topaz Page-Green and Joaquin were very much in love for a few years over a decade ago. Liv Tyler was the co-chair of the The Lunchbox Fund fall party last night in New York. And, as you know, Liv and Joaquin were very much in love almost 20 years ago.
So here they all are at the event, all friendly, all for a good cause. As you can see, Joaquin and Topaz are still very close. And Topaz and Liv are close. Liv and Joaquin are probably still close but declined to pose together because that would end up being the story, since they're both so much more famous than the others. Still, seeing them all like this brings out the Gossip Nostalgia, non?
And, as mentioned yesterday – click here for a refresher -- there's also the River. God, how has it already been 20 years?

All in the Family
All in the Family (1971–1979) was a groundbreaking television sitcom starring Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker and Jean Stapleton as Edith. Airing on the CBS television network, the show finished at number one in the Nielsen ratings for five consecutive years (1971–1976), a record it shared with The Cosby Show until American Idol passed it in the 2000s.

"Writing the President" [1.02][edit]
- Archie: I need a beer here, Edith.

- Archie: We never buy bottles.
- Edith: Then I'll bring you a can.
Archie: Dingbat.
- (Edith is about to give the nun a donation at the door)
- Archie: No more than half a buck. No matter what they tell you; most of what they get, they buy golden candlesticks with.
- (Text of letter Archie writes to President Nixon):
- Dear Mr. President, Your Honor, Sir:
- I personally don't agree with all the contegration on the college campuses. Or them ecology nuts, who only see disaster in this great country of ours. But like "Duke" Wayne would say, "We came off the mat before when the going was tough." And I know that, so long as we all work together, this nation under God shall not diminish from the earth.
- Anyway, my regards to your vice, Mr. Agnew. And special regards to Mrs. Nixon, and Tricia, who I know you wouldn't let drink no water, exceptin' the best.

- Mr. Rabinowitz: In a court of law, you can't beat a station wagon filled with nuns!

"Judging Books by Covers" [1.05][edit]
- Archie: Did you bring these things (cashews) into the house?
- Edith: Probably.
Archie: What do you mean "probably?"
- Edith: I mean, probably I did.
- Archie: But "probably you did" could also mean "probably you didn't." That's the way it is with a word like "probably"... right?
- (Pause)
Edith: Probably.
- Mike: You know, I don't think there's one thing about us you agree with.
- Archie: I agree with that.
"Gloria Has a Belly Full" [1.06][edit]

- Archie: You give my daughter a baby, and you can't even support a goldfish.
- Lionel: What we do is take all our spray cans and shove them into special shelves. So what you could do is... shove yours.
- (pause)
- Archie: You know, a guy could take that two ways.
- Mike: Yeah, but knowing Lionel, he probably only meant it one way.
- Archie: Yeah, he's a good kid.
- Edith: With all the money you pay them, can't the doctors help themselves?
"Now That You Know the Way, Let's Be Strangers" [1.07][edit]
- Mike: ... I happen to be very proud of my Polish heritage.
- Archie: What heritage? You come from a long line of bowling teams.
- Mike: Yeah? And you come from a long line of boneheads!
- Archie: Huh?
- Mike: You think with your mind closed!
- Archie: And you eat with your mouth open!
- Mike: You know you are totally incomprehensible?
- Archie: Maybe so, but I make a lot of sense!
- Archie: What is that smell?
- Gloria: Paul is burning incense. I think it's nice.
- Archie: It smells like a house of ill refute!
"Lionel Moves into the Neighborhood" [1.08][edit]

- Archie: Well, you don't work, maybe we'd better throw you out.
- Gloria: Oh Daddy, didn't they have any good weather when you were growing up?
- Archie: I don't remember none.
- Mike: I think they invented good weather around 1940.
- Edith: Oh, I remember some sunny days.
- Archie: That must have been before we met.
"Edith's Jury Duty" [1.09][edit]

"Archie Is Worried About His Job" [1.10][edit]

"Gloria Discovers Women's Lib" [1.11][edit]
- Archie: You people involved, Lionel, with that women's liberation?
- Lionel: No, not too much. You see, we're still working on plain old liberation.
"Success Story" [1.12][edit]
- (Mike, Gloria, and Edith are stuffing envelopes; Archie reads the letter being inserted)
- Archie:"Queens Free Clinic. A place for the high school dropout, the teenage runaway, that will produce free food, free medical attention, free treatment for VD." VD. Do you know what that means, Edith?
- Edith:VD? No, wait, don't tell me. I know it's someone's initials.
- Archie:Well, you ask a dingbat a question, you get a dingbat answer.
- Edith:I better go look at the stew. (She leaves)
- Gloria:Daddy, I don't what this fuss is about. They have clinics like this all over the country.
- Archie:Why should them dropouts get anything free? When I was a kid, you had to be in the Army to get free shots for VD.
- Mike:Don't worry, Arch. I'm sure the Army still gets their share of the action.
- (Edith returns)
- Edith:I keep thinking it has something to do with flags and parades and things.
- Gloria:What did, Ma?
- Edith:I know, VD Day.
- (Archie and Mike are talking about the benefits of the USA)
- Archie: They got the greatest country in the world here. The highest standard of living. The grossest national product.
"The First and Last Supper" [1.13][edit]
- Archie: These colored people are always trying to use a social situation to raise their station.
- Mike: That's right. And using you's gonna launch them right into Cafe Society!
- Archie: Every picture I've seen of God, he's white.
- Henry: Well, maybe you were looking at the negative!
- Archie: Let's try to talk intelligent, huh?
Season 2: 1971–1972[edit]
"The Saga of Cousin Oscar" [2.01][edit]
Louise: Was his death untimely?
Archie: Yeah, around lunchtime.
Archie: What do you want me to do? Spend $600 on a funeral for a guy who used to sit on my face?
Edith: He'll never do it again.
"Gloria Poses in the Nude" [2.02][edit]
Mike: The most casual acquaintances kiss today.
Edith: They do it all the time on TV. Like Merv Griffin and Johnny Carson.
Archie: Merv Griffin and Johnny Carson don't kiss each other!
Edith: That's right. They're on different channels... It's Jerry Lewis that kisses Johnny Carson.
Archie: Will you stifle yourself?
Edith: I don't know who Merv Griffin kisses.
Lionel: ... I've been thinking about jogging for months.
Archie: Well, you don't have to drag (Mike) along, you can do that by yourself.
Lionel: Well, let me ask you a question, Mr. Bunker. Now, if you were walking down the street at seven o'clock in the morning, and you saw this black guy, all by himself, running through this neighborhood, what would you think?
Archie: I see what you mean there, Lionel.
Lionel: Yeah, I figured you would.
(Gloria has been posing for three weeks, concerning Archie)
Archie: C'mon, give me your opinion, straight from the dingbat.
Edith: Well, I think you should mind your own business.
Archie: Who asked you?
Archie: ... Dragging me off to a moving picture like that, it was absolutely disgusting!
Edith: Well, I'm sorry, Archie. How was I to know? I thought it was a religious picture: "Cardinal Knowledge."
Mike: We are talking about my wife and my best friend. And yes, I do trust them!... You see, there's your difference between your generations right there, Archie. You've been spending the last 30 years checking under every bed for a Communist and going around thinking you're better and holier than they are with your stinkin' Puritan ethic, and what have you got to show for it?
Archie: A wife who's home at ten o'clock.
Mike: Sure, and the fear and the mistrust of the whole rest of the world! Well, you can live with that fear, Archie, and you can live with that mistrust. I don't want to have any part of it, do you hear what I'm saying? I don't want any part of it!
(Mike is now on the telephone)
Mike: Szabo, what the hell are you doing with my wife?!
"Archie and the Lock-Up" [2.03][edit]
Archie: These sinuses are murder. They fog up my whole head.
Mike: Well, that explains everything.
Archie: That's why your coloreds have to behave better, they gotta act nicer, they gotta try harder...
Lionel: Yeah, that's right, we's like Avis.
Gloria: If Michael gets arrested, they'll book him and fingerprint him, and it'll be on his record. And then when he goes to look for a job—
Archie: When? When? When?
"Edith Writes a Song" [2.04][edit]
Archie: I'm telling you, Edith, we're living in a jungle. That's what, a jungle. But you know what I got?
Mike: Malaria.
Archie: When it comes to defense, democracy's gonna have to wait.
Archie: I ain't no bigot. I'm the first guy to say, "It ain't your fault that youse are colored."
(after the robbers laugh about their past)
Edith: I don't know how you can laugh through all that misery.
Coke: Practice, lady. Practice.
Coke: What do we have here? Cash!
Edith: You can't have it!
Coke: I beg your pardon? Who's the crook here?
Edith's Song:
Everyone is someone, if you love them
Love can make a hero from a chump
Love can make a useless man seem useful
Love can grow a flower from a dump
If you dare to reach out to a stranger
You may find you've found a friend indeed
'Cause everyone is someone if you love them
'Cause love is something everybody needs.
"Flashback: Mike Meets Archie" [2.05][edit]
Archie: God bless America, you dumb Polack!
Mike: YOU'RE PREJUDICED! YOU'RE PREJUDICED! YOU'RE PREJUDICED!
"Edith's Accident" [2.06][edit]
Archie: all I've been hearing about is cling peaches, which is comin' out of my ears! Now don't say them two words no more! Now, how did you hit a car?
Edith: Well, that's where the... mmm-MMMM-mmm came in... You told me never to say them two words. (Continuing) You see, I was coming out of the supermarket with my basket full of mmm-MMMM-mmm. And there was Mrs. Duncan with her new baby. I took a peek in the carriage, but I couldn't see the baby too well, he was all...
Archie: Will you get on with the story?
Edith: Well, I knew I had to say something nice about the baby, so I went "Oh! Isn't that a beautiful baby!" And when I went "Oh!", the shopping basket got away from me, rolled down the hill and smashed into this parked car and scratched the fender. And then, this can of mmm-MMMM-mmm... in heavy syrup... jumped out and made a big dent in the hood!
Edith: It was a freak accident!
"The Blockbuster" [2.07][edit]
Archie: We got a religious oil burner: It don't work Sundays.
Archie: This house is constructed way better than most of the new ones you see around today.
Mike: So are the pyramids, but who'd want to live there?
Archie: You would if they let you in for nothing.
(The realtor, Chester Byrd, is black)
Archie: (from the kitchen) Would you like a nice soft drink, Mr. Byrd, or would you prefer something hard?
Mr. Byrd: Soft would be fine.
Mike: Pour yourself a hard one, Arch.
(Archie & Mr. Byrd meet)
Archie: You're colored.
Mike: Gee Arch, we didn't think you'd notice.
Archie: You didn't sound colored on the phone.
Mr. Byrd: I used the white telephone.
Archie: I ain't gonna sell (the house).
Mr. Byrd: Oh? Did something happen to color your decision?
"Mike's Problem" [2.08][edit]
Mike: Oh, I've decided it's too tough for me, Gloria. I'm going to quit college and get a job.
Gloria: Oh Michael, don't be childish.
Archie: Let him be childish!
(Archie has been in the bathroom over 20 minutes)
Edith: Archie! When are ya coming out?
Archie: Why, ya selling the house?
Edith: You've been in there for 20 minutes.
Archie: Who are you, the official timekeeper?
Edith: What are you doing in there anyway?
Archie: I'm changing the tile! One more word out of ya and I ain't never coming out!
Archie: I'm going down to Kelcy's saloon... where the only problem is closing time!
(Archie tries to help Mike with his problem)
Archie: This is what you gotta do. Before you go to sleep at night, sit down and say to yourself, "Is there anything else that I forgot to do?" You could even write yourself a little note... All I'm saying is, before you go to bed, look around, see what's there... read your note!
"The Insurance Is Cancelled" [2.09][edit]
(Archie laments having to choose a co-worker to dismiss)
Archie: It's because of this depression, or recession, or whatever they're calling it.
Mike: Nixon calls it a recent upswing in the economic picture.
Archie: What I say ain't got nothing to do with what I think.
Archie: Can't you ask me an intelligent question?
Mike: I didn't want to confuse you.
Wendell: Well, Uncle Archie... Let me make this perfectly clear.
Mike: Where have I heard that one before?
Little Emmanuel: Archie! Por favor?
Archie: Yeah, pour some more.
"The Man in the Street" [2.10][edit]
Edith: Oh my, red wine. I bet it's Manischewitz.
Archie: No Edith, I buy strictly American.
Archie: So tonight on the Walter Cronkite news, guess who youse is going to see there. Just think of somebody you all know and love.
Edith: Marcus Welby!
Archie: Oh geez, when are they gonna come out with a pill for dingbat.
Archie: I told that CBS guy, I said, 'Listen, there's millions of guys like me in the country that really believe in President Nixon. God believes in him, too.'
Mike: You said that on television? God believes in Nixon?
Archie: Certainly. Billy Graham plays golf with him, don't he?
Mike: What does that mean?
Archie: That means God believes in Nixon.
Mike: Wait a second, Archie. Are you saying that Nixon rules because of divine right?
Archie: It's a damn sight better than your divine left.
"Cousin Maude's Visit" [2.11][edit]
Archie: Next time you want to time something, Edith, just let the sand run out of your head.
Maude: Did you hear me? I said breakfast was on the table.
Archie: I heard ya. So did every moose up in Canada!
Archie: Wait a minute... custard for them, what the hell do you call this?
Maude: It's my own invention: Cream Of Wheat with cheese... It's light, but it binds.
Archie: It looks like something I ate and lost.
Archie: You're in my chair, Maude!
Maude: So?
Archie: I wanna sit in my chair!
Maude: Oh?
Archie: Ya gonna get out of that chair?
Maude: NO!
Archie: This country was ruined by Franklin Delano Roosevelt!
Maude: You're fat.
"Christmas Day at the Bunkers'" [2.12][edit]
"The Elevator Story" [2.13][edit]
Edith: Archie's got a lot of sentiment. You just gotta know where to look for it.
Archie: Why don't you tell them (the Puerto Rican couple) about it? You speak their lingo, don't ya?
Hubert: What makes you think I speak their lingo?
Archie: Well, figured you learned some of it living up in Harlem.
Hubert: What makes you think I live in Harlem?
Archie: You look it.
Hubert: What makes you think?
"Edith's Problem" [2.14][edit]
Mike: You know, it never occurred to me before. Mickey Mouse is black.
Archie: Aw, get outta here. Mickey Mouse ain't got no race. He stands for all men.
Mike: That's why Walt (Disney) made him a mouse.
Gloria: Ma, have you been more forgetful lately?
Edith: Forgetful? I don't know, let me think.
Gloria: Ma?
Edith: Gloria, what did you just ask me?
Gloria: Nowadays, with simple hormone treatment, there are no unpleasant manifestations.
Edith: Well, my Aunt Elizabeth went through this, and she didn't get manifestations... she got a mustache!
(showing Edith a Disney World brochure)
Archie: Look at this, an all-bear band.
Edith: A naked band at Disney World?
Archie: Well, menopause is a tough time to be going through, especially for nervous types. So he prescribed these here pills.
Mike: Oh, good.
Archie: I gotta take three of them a day.
Archie: Oh, she's all right, but for the next couple weeks, but you can't expect to see the regular dingbat flying around here. Till these here pills take effect, you're gonna be looking at super dingbat.
Archie: Edith... If you're going to have the change of life, you've got to do it right now! I'm giving ya just 30 seconds; now c'mon, change!
Edith: Can I finish my soup first?
"Archie and the FBI" [2.15][edit]
Archie: Don't be bothering the U.S. government with the Constitution!
Mike: Why, you afraid the government might read it?
Mr. Bradford: How would you describe Mr. Grundy's drinking habits?
Archie: He seldom buys.
Archie: Oh well. All that "best buddy" stuff... it's all for kids anyhow.
"Mike's Mysterious Son" [2.16][edit]
Edith: Why are you asking me so many questions? So there's a little boy in the room. Is there anything wrong with having a little boy in the room? Is there a law against having a little boy in the room? It's nice having a little boy in the room. And if you want me to answer any more questions, don't ask me!
Edith: Oh, Archie, you're home.
Archie: No, Edith, I'm still at work. What you see standing here is merely a pigment of your imagination.
Gloria: We have some more talking to do.
Mike: More talking? Gloria, it's 5:30 in the morning. You've said everything there is to say... twice.
Gloria: You miserable creep.
Mike: You said that three times.
Gloria: Most people's mistakes don't walk in the front door and say, "Hi, Daddy!"
"Archie Sees a Mugging" [2.17][edit]
Archie: Just a minute, I'll tell them.
Mike: Well, you better tell the truth.
Archie: Forget the truth, listen to me!
Mike: (to Gloria) Will you stay out of this, please?
Archie: Hold it! She's making sense. And a husband ought to listen to his wife.
Edith: Archie—
Archie: Dry up!
Archie: Them Sicilians are famous for two things: Spaghetti and revenge.
Mr. Vechino: (to Edith) A person like your Archie makes you feel real good to belong to the human race.
Mike: Yeah, maybe one of these days, we'll get him to join it.
Mr. Vechino: (referring to God) He sees everything! He knows everything we do!
Archie: Get outta here, you don't really believe that.
Mr. Vechino: Yes, I do!
Archie: Then how come youse people are always running to confession, telling Him what's happening?
Mr. Vechino: Now we're getting the truth! It's because I'm catholic that you ain't helping me!
Archie: That ain't the truth. I'd say the same thing even if you belonged to the right church!
"Archie and Edith Alone" [2.18][edit]
"Edith Gets a Mink" [2.19][edit]
(Jefferson Cleaners has just ruined Edith's new mink cape)
Archie: What do they know about fur?
Mike: That's right, Arch. All we taught them was how to work with cotton.
(talking about Russ' plumbing business)
Russ DeKuiper: I built that business up myself!
Archie: ...And (Amelia's) brother on the Board of Education. He gave you the concessions for a whole school district there. Six hundred terlits! Boy, talk about falling into a royal flush!
"Sammy's Visit" [2.20][edit]
(The family is trying to guess who rode Archie's cab)
Edith: Let's try, I'll go first... Living or dead?
Archie: I was driving a cab, Edith, not a hearse. Go back to your Solitaire, huh.
Gloria: Give us a hint. Is he in show business?
Archie: Bingo. I'll give you another hint. Bongo, bongo, bongo.
Mike: Well, he's either Desi Arnaz, or knowing you, he's probably black.
Archie: Right. Black as the ace of spades. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, this guy IS the ace of spades.
Edith: For goodness sakes. Archie, you just said ace of spades and I turned up the ace of spades. You see that in the movies and you say that wouldn't happen in real life, but here we are in real life and it happened.
Archie: We're in real life over here, Edith, would you care to join us?
Gloria: Was it Flip Wilson?
Archie: No, no, no, no.
Mike: Belafonte?
Archie: No, I said black, Meathead. Harvey Belafonte ain't black. He's just a good looking white guy dipped in carmel (sic).
Mike: What's the difference between our neighbor Lionel Jefferson and Sammy Davis Jr.?
Archie: Ten million dollars and five purple Cadillacs!
Edith: (to Sammy) I'm so excited, but then you can't imagine because you've never had to meet yourself!
Archie: Now, Mr. Davis, do you take cream and sugar in your eye?
Archie: Can you maybe give us a little preview of one of the songs you're gonna do?
Gloria: Oh, daddy. Mr. Davis makes his living entertaining. You're asking him to go to work.
Mike: Yeah, Arch. How'd you like to be a guest in somebody's house, and they say, "C'mon Arch, do some packing and lifting for us"?
Archie: I think that if God had meant us to be together, He'd have put us together. But look what He done. He put you over in Africa, and He put the rest of us in all the white countries.
Sammy Davis Jr.: Well, you must have told him where we were, 'cause somebody came and got us.
Gloria: I'm sorry Mr. Davis. Sometimes my father says the wrong things.
Sammy: Yes, I've noticed that.
Lionel: But he's not a bad guy. I mean, he'd never burn a cross on your lawn.
Sammy: Yeah, but if he saw one burning he's liable to toast a marshmallow on it!
Sammy: (to Archie) If you were prejudiced you would, like some people, close their eyes to what's going on in this great country that we live in. But not you, Archie, your eyes are wide open. You can tell the difference between black and white.
Sammy: (to Archie) And if you were prejudiced, you'd walk around thinking you're better than anybody else in the world. But I can honestly say, having spent these marvelous moments with you... You ain't better than anybody.
Archie: Can I have your hand on that, Sammy?
(after Sammy kisses Archie)
Archie: Well... What the hell, he said it was in his contract!
"Edith the Judge" [2.21][edit]
(Edith is sorting through laundry ruined at the coin laundromat)
Edith: Look at this! You must have forgot to separate the coloreds from the whites.
Mike: (incredulous) Archie? Forget to separate the coloreds from the whites?
Mike: (turning off TV) C'mon, I'll turn it on as soon as soon as you give me the first few lines of the National Anthem!
Archie: Oh say, can you see by the dawn's early light... what so proudly we hail, of thee I sing.
Gloria: Your Honor, as the bailiff's wife, I object to this kind of language.
Mike: That's right, and I suggest that Mr. Bunker be held in contempt of court!
Archie: Until you start paying rent around here, you're in contempt of house!
"Archie Is Jealous"[edit]
Gloria: How come you married Daddy instead of (Freddie Witthauser)?
Edith: Well, I liked being called a "Goddess of Beauty", but somehow it seemed more permanent when your father called me a dingbat.
Archie: When I come home from work, and I say "What's new, Edith?", I want her to tell me what's new, even if it is twenty-five years old!
(regarding the Witthauser incident)
Archie: You're going to have to ask me to forgive ya.
Edith: All right. Forgive me?
Archie: Then you admit it, huh?
Edith: There's nothing to admit.
Archie: Then what are you asking me to forgive you for?
Edith: I don't know; you asked me to ask you...
Maude: I invited Edith because I love her. And everywhere she goes, Archie goes. You know, like that Vaudeville act? There's the front end of the horse, and then there's Archie.
Walter: (Carol) was married before, she has an eight-year old son, she's had half-dozen affairs... So in all that heavy traffic, how did she manage that tricky U-turn back to purity and innocence?
Maude: God'll get you for that, Walter.
Maude: Still fighting mental health, eh, Archie?
Maude: Archie, you have ruined my daughter's wedding!
Archie: Well, that makes us even, Maude, because you ruined my weekend!
Season 3: 1972–1973[edit]
"Archie and the Editorial"[edit]
Mike: Would you stand up and cheer if it was me at the door?
Archie: Well that depends, Meathead, on whether you was coming in or going out.
Archie: All them old Bible people, they was always eating meat, soon as they found out eating apples was wrong... Goats, lambs—who the hell ever heard of sacrificing a head of lettuce?
(looking up the right to bear arms in the U.S. Constitution)
Archie: It's right there in your Second Ammendment.
Edith: Oh no, Archie. That's the one that says "Thou shalt not make any graven image."
Archie: That ain't the Constitution, Edith. What you said is the Gettysburg Address.
Gloria: Did you know that 65% of the people murdered in this country were killed by handguns?
Archie: Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?
Mr. Bennett: So how do you propose to stop people killing people?
Archie: That's easy, you bring back the death penalty!
Bennett: (on the phone) Get Johnson in here. I want him to see something before it becomes extinct.
Mike: Drivers don't mean to kill people.
Archie: Oh no? You ain't driven a cab yet, bud.
Archie: (on TV) Now I wanna talk about another thing that's on everybody's mind today and that's your stickups and your skyjackings. Which if that was up to me, I could end the skyjackings tomorrow.
Mike: (at home) You could?
Archie: All you gotta do, is arm all your passengers. Your skyjacker knows the passengers are armed, and then he ain't got no more superiorority there, he ain't gonna dare to pull out no rod. And then your airlines, they wouldn't have to search the passengers on the ground no more; they just pass out the pistols at the beginning of the trip, and pick 'em up again at the end. Case closed.
"Archie's Fraud"[edit]
Mike: I'm tired. I had a rough day.
Archie: Yeah, what'd you do? Bend your library card?
Mike: You could never do what I did today.
Archie: Yeah? What was you doing?
Mike: Thinking.
Edith: I don't want you going to jail, Archie.
Archie: I ain't going to jail!
Edith: You never could get used to a strange bathroom.
"The Threat"[edit]
Edith - "Who's Madam Taline?"
"Gloria and the Riddle"[edit]
Edith: Maybe the answer has something to do with people that come back from the hereafter. Like that milk company.
Gloria: Oh, reincarnation?
Edith: Yeah!
Barney: Hey, do you know any Polish jokes?
Archie: Are you kidding? I got one living in the house with me!
"Lionel Steps Out"[edit]
Linda: Okay, Uncle Archie, you're on my plane. Now pretend you're a gentleman flying first-class.
Mike: That's going to take a lot of pretending.
Gloria: Was your father strict with you, I mean, on who you went out with?
Edith: Oh, yeah. The boy had to be kind, and thoughtful, and a gentleman.
Mike: How did Archie ever pass that test?
Edith: Well, Dad died a year before I met Archie.
Gloria Ma, when you say kind and thoughtful and a gentleman, you're describing Lionel.
Archie: If God had intended white people to dance with coloreds—
Mike: He'd have given us rhythm, too.
Lionel: Now we've been friends, and we can go on being friends. But when it comes to black, white, and all the other wonderful thoughts you have in between—put a lid on that, Archie.
Henry: If they want to mix up the races, let 'em. But we're going to keep ours pure! No more of that cream into the coffee!
Henry: (to Archie) If you don't learn to keep your mouth shut, we ain't never gonna get rid of the pollution!
"The Bunkers and the Swingers"[edit]
Gloria: Mr. and Mrs. Rempley. Have I ever met them?
Edith: No. Neither have I.
Archie: What's this all about here?
Edith: Oh, I don't know. I won't know until tomorrow.
Archie: You know, you better keep a sharp lookout.
Edith: What for?
Archie: For the dingbat catcher.
Edith: Your letter said you was coming tomorrow night.
Ruth Rempley: I wrote the letter yesterday. So when I said "tomorrow", I meant today.
Edith: But I read the letter today. And when you read "tomorrow" today, tomorrow is tomorrow.
Edith: (opening a package of perfume) Chanel No.5! That's their highest number!
Ruth Rempley: We were drowning. Swinging saved us!
Edith: I think I would rather have drowned.
"Edith Flips Her Wig"[edit]
Archie: First time in my life, I bowled a 227 game. Now what do you got to say about that?
Edith: I was arrested.
Archie: No dice to no psychiatrist!
Mike: Why not?
Archie: Anybody that goes to see a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined!
"Mike Comes into Money"[edit]
Edith: How was your day?
Mike: Well, it was rough, ma—
Archie: Wait a minute, she's asking me about my day, not yours.
Mike: Since when do you own the day? I had a day, too.
Archie: She's asking me about my day, right, Edith?
Edith: Yeah. I was gonna ask you, Mike, but I was asking Archie first. How was your day?
Archie: I don't wanna talk about it.
Archie: Lucky me. I got the only Polack who showers regularly.
Mike: Here's a dime, Arch.
Archie: Oh, a dime ain't going to pay for all your showers.
Mike: No, but it'll pay for yours.
Edith: If it wasn't for his Uncle Alex, Mike would be in Poland right now!
Archie: Out of respect for the dead, I ain't going to say nothing.
Archie: They don't like a guy like McGovern who's running around changing his mind all the time. They want a man like Nixon who don't change for nothing!
Mike: You're right about that, Arch. He keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.
Archie: Take your gorilla. Your gorilla wants his kid to grow up better than him too! But the kid grows up, and there he is, still a gorilla!
"Flashback: Mike and Gloria's Wedding (Part 1)"[edit]
Mike: Actually, your father is on his best behavior tonight. He only called me an "unbeautiful thing". Could've called me an "unbeautiful Polack".
Archie: The night is young, meathead.
Archie: (regarding Mike's Uncle Casimir) He's got two strikes against him from the start.
Mike: What do you mean by that?
Archie: Well, he's Polish, strike one... and, he's Polish, strike two.
Archie: All I'm saying is that I don't want to discuss no wedding arrangements with a substitute-ski!
Mike: It's very simple, Mrs. Bunker. I'm an Agnostic.
Edith: Ohhh... You mean you want a Rabbi?
Archie: It's worse than that, Edith! I think it means he can't have kids!
Mike: (to Archie) Whether you like it or not, people do make love every now and then.
Edith: More then than now.
"Flashback: Mike and Gloria's Wedding (Part 2)"[edit]
Edith: Gloria... The next time I kiss you, you'll be a married woman. Good-bye, Gloria!
"The Locket"[edit]
Edith: I'm sorry, Archie. I ain't myself today.
Archie: That might be an improvement, Edith.
Mike: Doubleheader today, huh, Arch?
Archie: What do you mean by that?
Mike: You're going to cheat the insurance company and Ma.
Deliveryman: Look at this, Angelo. A whole half a buck.
Angelo: Why don't you tell (Archie) what he can do with it?
Deliveryman: I'd rather see him do it with the TV set.
Archie: (to Edith) How is it always when you do the best thing, it turns out the worst?
"Mike's Appendix"[edit]
Gloria: (to Mike, about his appendix) If it's gotta go, it's gotta go. Why hang on to something that's useless?
Archie: That's what I've been asking you ever since you married him.
Gloria: Michael, that's our money. We each contribute in our own way.
Archie: That's right. You contribute deposits, he contributes withdrawls.
Archie: All them surgeons, they're highway robbers. Why do you think they wear masks when they operate?
Archie: McKenzie costs more because the best always cost more. That's how you tell what's good in America: it costs more.
"Edith's Winning Ticket"[edit]
Edith: I wonder what they say when they sneeze...
Archie: Who's that, Edith?
Edith: The Chinese. I mean, do they say "God bless you" or "Buddha bless you"?
Archie: You really wanna know, the Chinks just sneeze and say nothing. They can't speak English.
Mike: Why couldn't they say "Buddha bless you" in Chinese?
Archie: Because they don't say that, that's why. If they say anything at all, it's "Sayonara".
Mike: That's Japanese.
Archie: Same thing.
Mike: It's NOT the same thing.
Archie: You put a Jap and a Chink together, you're going to tell me which is which?
Mike: That's right, because I find out about them. I talk to them as individuals.
Archie: Sure, you'd talk to them. You'd say, "Which one of you guys is the Chink?"
Mike: I'd explain it to you, Arch, but first you'd have to move your brain ahead two centuries.
Archie: Why don't you take a short walk on a long pier?
Mike: You can't even get THAT right! It's "Why don't you take a LONG walk on a SHORT pier?
Archie: Then do THAT.
Mike: C'mon, Archie, two measly dollars. Didn't you ever bet on anything?
Archie: Yes... I bet that my daughter would marry a human being and lost!
Henry Jefferson: Bunker, you ain't going to get away with this. You've been cheating us for 400 years!
Archie: What are you talking about? You've only been on the block for two years.
Henry: I'm talking about how you white people come to Africa to steal us, and then when you was through stealing us, and when we went around to watch you, you stolen our whole country!
Archie: I've never even BEEN to Africa!
Henry: Neither have I, and THAT'S your fault, too!
Archie and the Bowling Team"[edit]
Archie: This is one of the greatest days of my life.
Edith: That's wonderful. What is it?
Archie: Oh, boy, sensational news. Are you ready?
Edith: Yeah, I can hardly wait.
Archie: Remember Hank Phillips from the gas station?
Edith: Yeah.
Archie: He's dead.
Edith: Oh my!
Mike: A guy dies and you're happy?
Archie: Will you wait a minute, I didn't say that. I'm only happy because the guy can't bowl no more. That's all. See, I'm waiting six years to get a spot on this special bowling team, and now there's a spot opened up. I'm sorry the guy is dead, but that's life.
Mike: Arch, it's discrimination keeping out a guy because of what he is.
Archie: They don't keep nobody out because of what he is. They keep a guy out maybe because of what he ain't. Like, for instance if he ain't a good bowler, he ain't gettin' in—and if he ain't white and Protestant. What could be fairer than that?
Mike: Letting in anybody in, no matter what color he is, no matter what religion he is. That's what this country is supposed to be about.
Archie: Get out of here, that's only for the civil service.
"Archie Goes to the Hospital"[edit]
(Louise & Lionel are visiting Archie in the hospital)
Mr. Duval: Archie! Aren't you going to introduce me to your family? Your wife (Louise) looks charming!
Archie: Jean, listen. Her and me ain't married.
Mr. Duval: Even better! She gave you a fine-looking son anyway.
Archie: She never gave me nothing but chicken soup here. Lionel, tell Jean you ain't my son.
Lionel: Okay, whatever you say, Pop.
Archie: Where's Gloria?
Mike: Oh, she said she'd stop by on her way from work.
Archie: I wish you could say you'd stop by on the way from work.
Mike: (sarcastic) You know Arch, it's really a thrill visiting you.
"Oh Say, Can You See"[edit]
Edith: Everybody has a little trouble seeing the words close-up after they pass a certain age.
Archie: I told you, it ain't age! It's the ink they use in the newspaper.
Edith: I've needed glasses for years, and you're older than I am.
Archie: That's only because I was born first.
Archie: (to Kelsey) Why don't you go back to bartender's school and take a course in "shut up"?
Archie: You're Bill Mulherin's kid brother.
Bill: Better than that, I'm Bill Mulherin.
Archie: Naaah.
Bill: I am.
Archie: You're Bill Mulhe-
Bill: Uh-huh.
Archie: Well I'll be, you are. Hey, come over here. How are you. How've you been?
Bill: Great, great. Just great. Now can I ask you a question?
Archie: Yeah, sure.
Bill: Who are you?
Archie: You don't remember me, Archie Bunker?
Bill: Archie Bunker? I thought you were dead.
Archie: How do you do it? How do you stay so young?
Bill: It's like I told you before, Arch. The secret is up here (pointing to his head). You want to stay young, you think young, and wait until you get a load of the young friend that's meeting me. One look at her and you feel 10 years younger.
Archie: Oh, you're meetin' a girl in here, huh Bill?
Bill: When she gets here, call me Brad.
Archie: Brad? What for?
Bill: Well, it sounds younger. Bill ain't got no pizazz to it. People start calling you Brad, and you, you feel like a Brad.
"Archie Goes Too Far"[edit]
Archie: Your room is still in my house, which means I got the right to search it.
Mike: (to Gloria) We're living in the Watergate Hotel here.
Mike: What about your father? How can you trust him again? The next thing you know, he's going to be bugging our bed!
Archie: The only bug in your bed is when you hop in it!
(Gloria is crying after Mike walks out)
Edith: He'll be back as soon as he gets over being mad.
Archie: Yeah, which should be around dinnertime.
Archie: Wait a minute, where are you going?
Edith: I'm her mother, that's where I'm going!
"Class Reunion"[edit]
(doorbell rings)
Archie: Ringing the bell on a Sunday, it's a day of rest! Don't people read their Bibles no more? What happened to Christianity anyhow?... Whoever that is, tell them to get the hell outta here!
Edith: (referring to Mavis Pike) She's a women's lib! It means she's not a "Mrs.", and she's not a "Ms." neither.
Archie: What does that make her, a near-Ms.?
Mavis: Edith, I was going to ask you if you've had an interesting life... but he saved me the trouble.
Willie: Tony Roselli!
Archie: Huh?
Willie: Tony Roselli... I never forget a face!
Archie: You just broke your record.
Classmate: GOD, he was beautiful!
"Hot Watch"[edit]
(demonstrating the new watch's alarm)
Archie: That's for suppertime, see? And that's the alarm you're gonna hear every night around this time, Edith, to show you that supper should be on the table.
Edith: Well, suppose I'm in another room and I don't hear it?
Gloria: Then you'll hear the old alarm, Ma... Edith, get supper on the table!
Edith: Archie, that sounded just like you!
Archie: Oh, really? Then why don't it make you move?
Archie: What the hell am I eating?
Edith: "Yankee Stew."
Archie: Well, the Yankees struck out.
Edith: I saw something about a watch like that on Mannix.
Archie: Yeah, what?
Edith: Or was it Let's Make A Deal?
"Archie Is Branded"[edit]
Paul: I wouldn't have known it from looking at you. You don't look Jewish.
Archie: There is a good reason for that. I'm not.
Mike: This is Archie Bunker. And I can honestly say that he is not nor has ever been a member of the Jewish faith.
Mike: Arch, if I did not know better. I'd swear those were your words coming out of his (Paul's) mouth.
Paul: We tried but you can't talk to fanatics.
Paul: One day you will find that this (curling Mike's hand into a fist) is the only answer.
Mike: What I've learned is that "this"...only gets you "this" (holding up the other fist.)
"Everybody Tells the Truth"[edit]
Mike: (regarding the restaurant) We'd thought you'd like this place.
Archie: What would make you think that?
Mike: It's cheap.
Evil Archie: You dumb meatheaded, unemployed, oversexed pinko Professor of Polack you!
Good Mike: Those are not very kind things to say. But I'll try to do better.
Evil Mike: You're saying I'm the one that broke the refrigerator. Well, I'm not the only one who uses it, you know! I'm not the only one who eats around here, you know! We all eat! You eat as much as I do!
Evil Gloria: Michael's right, daddy. He's right and he's always right! Did you hear me? He's always right!
Good Archie: Well of course he is, he's a college boy.
Evil Jack: You best tell the dude this house call's gonna cost him 32 bills, for openers.
Evil Repairman: And sixteen bucks for every five minutes after the half-hour.
Good Archie: Very reasonable.
Good Repairman: Before it broke down, was the light working, Mrs. Bunker?
Edith: Well, off and on.
Good Repairman: How do you mean?
Edith: Well, on when I opened it... and off when I closed it.
Evil Jack: You know something? You irritate me.
Good" Archie: Maybe we can sit down and discuss it, and I'll learn how to improve myself.
Mike: (back in the restraunt) You're crazy! You are crazy! You never talked that rational in your life!
Archie: I don't talk rational, because I make sense!
"Archie Learns His Lesson"[edit]
"Gloria the Victim"[edit]
Archie: Do for your own—take care of your own, that's the rule. That's what we done here today. We took care of our own.
"The Battle of the Month"[edit]
Archie: God don't make no mistakes, that's how he got to be God.
Archie: Read your story of Adam & Eve there. They had it pretty soft there in paradise, they didn't have no worries, they didn't even know they was naked! And Eve, she wasn't satisfied with that, see? And one day, against direct orders she made poor Adam eat that apple. God got sore, He told them "Get your clothes on and get the hell outta here."
Edith: "Nothing" just came into my mind.
Archie: It must have felt right at home there.
Archie: How dare (Mike) calls me a bonehead?
Gloria: And how did you hear that? Did you have your little ears pressed against the wall?
Archie: No!
Edith: He listened with this glass.
Mike: You!
Archie: What?
Mike: YOU!
Archie: What!
Mike: GAAAAAAHHHH!
Archie: (to Edith) He made more sense when he was coming through the glass.
Edith: So before you two start saying things to each other that you can never take back, stop. And think how much you really mean to each other.
Edith: Do you think I'm something?
Archie: You, Edith, are something else.
Season 4: 1973–1974[edit]
"We're Having a Heat Wave"[edit]
Mike: Congratulations Arch, you just contributed your own power cut.
Mike and Archie reading petition together: Whereas we have our fair share of coloreds in this neighborhood...
Gloria: What?
Mike: Watergate, Watergate, Watergate, Watergate
Archie: Would you shut up with that word, goddamn it.
"We're Still Having a Heat Wave"[edit]
"Edith Finds an Old Man"[edit]
Edith: You see, it all started this way—
Archie: All right, all right, Edith. I'll find out for myself. I'd like to get the story before the first of the month.
Mr. Quigley: They've got all kinds of medicines to keep us living longer and longer. Now they've got us living longer, they don't know what to do with us.
Mike: Why can't Mr. Quigley stay with us for a few days?
Archie: Because we've already got one freeloader living with me, and bread's up ten cents a loaf!
Mr. Quigley: No, and we aren't going to get married, either.
Jo: If we did, there'd be no point in living together.
"Archie and the Kiss"[edit]
"Archie the Gambler"[edit]
Mike: We're all family here.
Archie: Don't remind me!
Archie: Let me tell you something about beer: You can never buy beer, you can only rent it.
Mike: By now, (Archie) probably realizes it's his fault, he's going to walk in here, he's not going to say anything about it, and I don't believe a word I just said.
Archie: I demand an apology.
Edith: It's you that's gotta apologize to me.
Archie: I gotta? That's like asking Pearl Harbor to apologize to the Japs.
"Henry's Farewell"[edit]
Archie: All this celebrating just because one colored guy wants to leave the neighborhood.
Mike: I thought you'd be the one leading the cheers.
Edith: Henry was saying the other day that there was no one he wanted to say "goodbye" to more than Archie.
Archie: Hey Jefferson, I don't blame your kid brother for wanting to leave home. If I was your brother, I'd want to leave home too.
George: If you were my brother I'd cut my throat.
Archie: If I were your brother I'd give you the knife.
Archie and the Computer"[edit]
Gloria: Ma, are you in some kind of trouble?
Edith: No, and I can't tell you what it is!
Archie: I think you found the goose that laid the golden prune.
Mike: If something goes wrong, if you've got a complaint, wouldn't you rather talk to a human being face-to-face?
Archie: Sure I would. But all I got is you.
Edith: I don't want nobody to be dead.
Archie: Edith, somebody's gotta be dead; that's life.
Mike: Is there anything for me?
Archie: No, nothing for you, Meathead, just for your mother-in-law. Sympathy cards.
Mike: Those people probably found out you're still alive.
"The Games Bunkers Play"[edit]
(playing the game)
Lionel: What's the first thing you say whenever I see you? Always something about the "black problem", right?
Mike: Well, what do you want me to talk about, the weather?
Lionel: Well, sometimes, yeah! I mean, black people have weather, too!
Mike: There's a storm at sea. The boat overturns, and your mother and I are drowning. Which one of us would you save? Just answer the question, which one of us would you save?
Gloria: That is NOT a fair question!
Mike: Why not?
Gloria: Because I can't swim!
Mike: But criticism is the whole point of this game! There's no fun without it!
Frank: Yeah. And so far, you've been a barrel of fun.
"Edith's Conversion"[edit]
"Archie in the Cellar"[edit]
Irene: You know what Frank would say if he had caught us together.
Archie: What?
Irene: "You can do better than that, Irene."
Archie: (drunk in cellar) Last will and tentacle.
Archie: This ain't something a man usually tells a woman: I love you, Edith.
Edith: I know that, Archie.
Archie: You mean I didn't have to say it?
"Black Is the Color of My True Love's Wig"[edit]
"Second Honeymoon"[edit]
"The Taxi Caper"[edit]
"Archie Is Cursed"[edit]
Irene: Hello, Archie!
Archie: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Irene: I bet that means, "Who needs her around on my day off?"
Edith: Archie didn't mean that... did you, Archie?
Archie: Don't ever argue with a guest, Edith.
(regarding women Olympic gold medalists)
Archie: Even the judges couldn't figure them out, they had to give them one of them her-mone tests... Found out that most of them had more his-mones than her-mones.
Mike: How long have you been believing in curses?
Archie: How long have you been living here?
Mike: Of course there is magic all the time. You even find magic in the Bible.
Archie: Oh, shut up! You atheist you! The Bible is filled miracles, no magic. God didn't fool around with no magic.
Mike: What about Sodom and Gomorrah? When Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt?
Archie: That's because when she was running away from them two dirty cities, she stopped to take a look at her behind.
A stunned Mike slams his head against the table.
"Edith's Christmas Story"[edit]
"Mike and Gloria Mix It Up"[edit]
Mike: For the last four weeks... and I think it's longer...
Gloria: Didn't you just say we have an equal partnership? Fifty-fifty?
Mike: Yeah. Everything is fifty-fifty. But I'm the fifty that should be heard from first!
Mike: Take the animal kingdom. The male is always in charge!
Gloria: Oh yeah? Did you ever hear of a "king" bee?
(Mike makes up a story about seeing another woman)
Mike: I'm telling you, it was beautiful. I don't know how to explain it, but there was instant communication between us.
Gloria: Oh, I can explain it. You talked, and she listened.
Mike: You kissed a perfect stranger on a street corner?
Gloria: Nope, right on the lips!
"Archie Feels Left Out"[edit]
"Et Tu, Archie"[edit]
Archie: In an energy crisis, there ain't no such thing as a nice man.
"Gloria's Boyfriend"[edit]
Mike: You talked to (George) like he was a dog. I thought you were going to pat him on the head and toss him a bone.
Archie: Well, if I did, at least he'd fetch it. You'd eat it.
Archie: Being happy is part of being crazy.
Mike: Retarded people have no more of a sex drive than anyone else.
Archie: Oh, yeah? Then why are you on automatic all the time?
George's Sign: "Every man is my superior, in that I may learn from him."
"Lionel's Engagement"[edit]
Louise: Don't give me that "woman" jazz!
George: Don't gimme that jazz, woman!
Archie: Mixed up. I bet I miss out on a lot of invitations this way
Archie: Jefferson, that invitation you sent by your wife. I think that was very white of you.
George: That's exactly the way I felt when I did it.
George: That (white) bartender is willing to work for me because if you've got enough green in your pocket, then black becomes his favorite color.
Mother Jefferson Who you callin' mammy.
Archie: you
Mother JeffersonWell dont you dare call me mammy i am nobody's mammy im his mother and if you have anything to say to me it is Mrs. Jefferson.
Archiegeeze Mrs. Jefferson.
Mother Jefferson(interupting) dont talk to me.
"Archie Eats and Runs"[edit]
(Mike is late for dinner)
Archie: We ain't waitin' for him. C'mon, get it on.
Gloria: We always wait for you.
Archie: That, little girl, happens to be because I'm the breadwinner in this house. Your husband is the crumb.
Mike: Do you realize that before 1968, there were hardly any cars recalled for being defective? But in 1972, there were nearly eight million cars recalled.
Archie: And do you realize that in 1974, who cares?
Archie: So what do you think the chances are of me getting the one bad can out of all them millions of cans? What is it, 100 to 1.
Mike: What is that? The New Math?
Mike: Yeah, yeah—what's the seventh number?
Gloria (who has a head cold) I gave you seven numbers.
Mike You gave me six numbers!! One of the numbers was a sneeze!!...What do you want me to do—do you see a "sneeze" on this dial?!
Patient in Sling: Doc, doc, doc... what about my arm?
Doctor: Hang onto it.
Archie: The bosses of that company ought to taste every mouthful of food before it leaves the factory.
Mike: How are you going to do that?
Archie: Haven't you ever heard of the olden days, the days of kings? The king used to have a special cook to taste the food. The cook dropped down dead, the king said, "See?" Then the king went into the kitchen and made a sandwich for himself.
"Gloria Sings the Blues"[edit]
Mike: Arch, you're not giving the fish a fighting chance.
Archie: I don't wanna fight with the fish, I wanna catch them.
Edith: Castor Oil cheered you up?
Archie: It'd be "cheered up", or get another dose.
Mike: (to Gloria) You realize how many boring things I've got to do in a single day to drive me crazy? I've got to get up, I've gotta brush my teeth, I have to shave—and I hate to shave. There are days where I stand there debating with that mirror: Should I shave, or should I cut my throat? But I shave.
Archie: You know, it's too bad you always lose that argument.
Archie: Oh, that energy crisis. I wish you'd come up with one of those hot flashes of yours when we need it.
Archie: Look at this: Rip Van Meathead.
Archie: Do you ever watch your husband dress himself in the morning?
Gloria: Sometimes.
Archie: Did you know that he puts on a sock and a shoe and a sock and a shoe, instead of a sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe?
Gloria: What?
Archie: What's the sense in asking you? You wear pantyhose.
Edith: You know, I think most marriages break up because people don't wait long enough to recognize each other again.
"Pay the Twenty Dollars"[edit]
"Mike's Graduation"[edit]
Archie: I don't have to have my dinner the minute I walk in the door.
Mike: Since when?
Archie: I just thought that maybe you'd like to go over to my chair and sit and study over there.
Mike: Huh?
Archie: Yeah! Hey, listen. I do my best thinking in that chair. When I'm in that chair, I don't know what's going on.
(referring to the stuffed goat head)
Edith: I don't think I'm going to like him looking at me with them big, sad eyes.
Archie: They aren't real eyes, Edith, them there are glass eyes.
Edith: That wasn't fair of Barney Hefner shooting a blind animal!
Mike: (to Gloria, about Archie) And he keeps saying the same thing to me every time I knock on the door. He says, "Don't knock, give it a Polack ring. So I say, "What's a Polack ring?" He says, "A dumb bell."
Season 5: 1974–1975[edit]
"The Bunkers and Inflation (Part 1)"[edit]
Archie: The country's got to produce more goods. Then we've got to have a little more unemployment. So when we have more goods to buy, and less people who can afford to buy the goods, then the prices will come down.
Mike: That is the stupidest damn thing you've ever said.
Gloria: Swearing's just the sign of a small mind.
Archie: Aw, shut the hell up.
Archie: Respect is for the dead. The living need dough.
Munson: (to Edith) Twenty-six years with Archie. You sure did some woman a big favor.
Edith: Mike, would you please pass these sandwiches around?
Archie: No, no, no. That's like asking the elephant to pass the peanuts.
George: (to Archie) I'm talking about your unions asking for higher wages. It's bad for the country.
Lionel: If it's bad for the country, how come you raised the prices in the cleaning store?
Archie: He done that?
Lionel: He did on the white clothes.
George: You know something, Lionel? You're the reason we never had a second child.
Archie: When a guy asks a girl to get married, that's the highest compliment he can pay.
Louise: And it's usually the last one, too.
"The Bunkers and Inflation (Part 2)"[edit]
Archie: (to Irene on the phone) Remember that song that had you in it?... That's right, good night, Irene!
Archie: If you were to come in here, fresh off of the street, applying for the job of my son-in-law, I wouldn't hire you.
Mike: And if I knew you came with the job, I wouldn't take it.
Archie: Edith, you done good! Your heart was in the right place. But your brain was out to lunch.
"Edith the Job Hunter"[edit]
Edith: You don't think this dress looks too revealing? I don't think I should look too sexy.
Mike: Don't worry Ma, you never do.
Archie: If a woman don't have no experience, then she should stick to unskilled labor, like being a wife.
Edith: But that don't pay nothing.
Archie: But it ain't supposed to pay nothing, Edith. You're supposed to be satisfied with the, what do you call it, unseen rewards.
Edith: How would you like an unseen dinner?
Archie: Edith, with you, a "surprise" could be anything from a runaway horse to a Puerto Rican.
(Mike gets a part-time job)
Archie: Between $20 and $25 a week? And you've got the nerve... to eat cake?
"Archie's Raise"[edit]
Archie: DING-DONG, Edith, Ding-Dong!
Archie: Anyways, (a bald spot) is a sign of brains. You know the old saying, "Grass don't grow on a busy street"?
Edith: And it don't grow in cement, neither.
"Lionel the Live-in"[edit]
Mike: Hey Arch, will you hold it down? Gloria and I are trying to sleep!
Archie: It's the only thing you ain't tried in that room yet!
George: I don't want no daughter-in-law who's a zebra.
Louise: Why not? She don't mind a father-in-law who's a jack-ass!
Edith: Good morning, Louise... Heeeeere's Lionel!
Archie: Who the hell are you now, Fred McMahon?
Louise: Edith, you're a doll. How did we find neighbors like you?
Archie: You moved out of Harlem.
Lionel: Can I call you "Uncle Archie"?
Archie: Well, I'll tell ya, Lionel... I think it's against the law.
George: Don't worry, we can start all over again... you can give me another boy.
Louise: You better call Parcel Post... 'cause I've stopped making deliveries!
Louise: And you know what happens to blacks with no education, and looking for a job. They are last on the list.
George: No they ain't, the Puerto Ricans are last.
Archie: He's right Louise, the Puerto Ricans are last. Only they don't know it because they can't read the list.
"Archie's Helping Hand"[edit]
Gloria: Oh ma, you'll never change. Whatever daddy wants, daddy gets.
Edith: Not always.
Gloria: Just tell me once when he didn't get his way, just once.
Edith: When he wanted a boy.
Archie: Why don't you do what all the men do with their bright ideas? They drop them in the suggestion box.
Irene: Oh, good. Where is the suggestion box?
Archie: You know where the mens' toilet is?
Irene: Yeah.
Archie: There's three of 'em in there.
Archie: (disputing Irene's claims about equal pay) In the Bible, it says God made man in His own image. And he made women after, from a rib—cheaper cut.
Archie: Let me tell you this: Equality is unfair!
"Gloria's Shock"[edit]
"Where's Archie?"[edit]
"Archie Is Missing"[edit]
"The Longest Kiss"[edit]
"Archie and the Miracle"[edit]
Archie: God has one of them voices that you never, ever forget... You know, like Bing Crosby.
Archie: It makes a man stop and think when he's just been the victim of a miracle.
Mike: Arch, did you ever stop to think... When that crate dropped, maybe God was out to get you, and missed?
Edith: Have you got your dollar for the collection plate?
Archie: Yeah, got it right over here in my wallet. Geez, a dollar a week in that plate from now on. Comes to what? Nearly fifty bucks a year.
Edith: Archie, you said yourself you was paying back the Lord for saving your life.
Mike: Ten cents would've covered that.
Mike: I tried fixing that toilet again, I can't do it. Maybe we'll just have to get another one.
Gloria: Yeah. Two heads are better than one.
Archie: Fightin' that copper ball takes all the fun out of going to the toilet!
"George and Archie Make a Deal"[edit]
Edith: Archie, are you sure Abraham Lincoln signed the Declaration Of Independence?
Archie: Sure, four score and seven years ago.
Mike: Racial balance is important in everything. Take education: Why do you think it's so tough for a black student to become a doctor?
Archie: Because nobody wants to see a black guy coming at them with a knife.
Archie: (to Edith) Don't be singing, the neighbors will think I'm killing ya here.
"Archie's Contract"[edit]
Mr. Scanlan: A BTU, Mrs. Bunker, means British thermal units.
Archie: Yeah. I think we traded some destroyers for them.
George: By the time they finish here this house is going to look like a four-room car wash.
Mr. Scanlan: Now, we have a contract, Mr. Bunker—
Gloria: Signed under duress.
Archie: Yeah, without knowing I was under the dress.
George: Ain't there some law against taking advantage of the simple-minded?
Archie: Well, is there? Because if there ain't, there oughta be!
"Mike's Friend"[edit]
"Prisoner in the House"[edit]
"The Jeffersons Move Up"[edit]
George: And here we have the living area, where we does our living. And here we have the dining area, where we does our dining. And through this door is the kitchen area—
Louise: Where we does our kitchening.
Mr. Bentley: Take a walk on the small of my back, would you?
George: Say what?
Louise: Well, you wanted to move up to the East Side. Take a walk!
Louise: Lionel, you better go to your room. I don't want you to get hit by your father.
Lionel: Why is he going to hit me?
Louise: Because I'm not sure where I'm going to throw him!
"All's Fair"[edit]
"Amelia's Divorce"[edit]
"Everybody Does It"[edit]
"Archie and the Quiz"[edit]
Archie: I'll probably live long enough to see them put a man on Mars.
Mike: What if they do that next year?
Archie: What I won't live long enough to see is a Meathead on a payroll.
Archie: I'm married. They give me five years for having Edith. Thought they'd dock me for that.
Mike: "Deduct three years for wealthy or poor."
Archie: Wealthy or poor? What the hell else is there?
Gloria: Middle-class, which is what we are.
Mike: Well, actually, we're lower-middle class.
Archie: As I remember it, we was "upper" until you joined the family.
Archie: If you keep minusing, I'll be dead in 1965!
Archie: Give me plus-four!
Gloria: Minus, daddy.
Archie: If you don't let me win a few, you're going to be minus daddy!
(referring to Archie)
Edith: He'll listen to you. Deep down, he respects you.
Mike: I hate to dive that deep.
"Edith's Friend"[edit]
"No Smoking"[edit]
Edith: My mother always said, if God had intended people to smoke, He would have put chimneys on their heads.
Mike: So what are you saying? Cigar smoking is an inalienable right?
Archie: It's for the aliens, it's for the native born...
Mike: I'm not used to sleeping on this side of the bed!
Archie: Well, when I sleep with Edith, my wife, I sleep on this side of the bed.
Mike: Well, when I sleep with Gloria, I sleep on that side of the bed.
Archie: But you are sleeping now with the guy that OWNS the bed!
Archie: Are you telling me that your sinus is draining in this bed? You mean that I'm sleeping with a guy with a leak?

You may not know this, but eradicating honeybees found in your Corpus Christi home can actually be bad for you, the bees, and mother earth? Without the cross-pollinating service that honeybees give, our world would be a hungrier place to live.
Honeybee colonies across North America and all over the world, for that matter, have decreased over the past two decades. This has major effects for the health and well being of all life on Earth. It is estimated that a third of our plant and pet food crops are dependent on honeybee pollination in order to be effective.
When a honeybee colony is wiped out via insecticidal therapy, not only is the cross-pollinating advantages of the specific beehive lost, yet many times all bee nests within two miles of the treated hive are also impacted by the insecticide.
We have safely removed and relocated bees for Corpus Christi residences and companies for many years. We specialize in all sorts of bee hive removal, including bees, wasp extraction, hornet removal, and yellow jacket extractions. We provide detailed solutions for extraction, hive elimination, ground hive extraction, opening up and fixing structures, and bee proofing and prevention.
The Pest Service Network guarantees your protection and peace of mind during all bee removals. You can count on our specialists to safely remove bees from your Corpus Christi home.
The initial step is to locate the nesting location. Usually, substantial examination with specialized tools is needed to find the specific location of the beehive at your residence.
As soon as its located, we develop an excavation strategy to access the beehive in such a way that will certainly permit restoration of your property once the beehive has actually been taken out. We insure everyone is protected and the surrounding location is clear of all people and pets. We begin opening the area where the bees are nesting. We meticulously catch any bee we encounter in a specialized honeybee vacuum. This vacuum very carefully pulls the into a beehive box where they wait for moving to their new home
As soon as the beeswax combs have been reached, they are carefully cutout, and then sucked off the comb. The combs are washed out of the cavity and the bees are sucked into the honeybee vacuum, we reconstruct and close the wall surface against recolonizing by other honeybees
The moment the honeybees are thoroughly pulled into our honeybee vacuum, we prepare them to be moved to their new home.

Yahtzee's Prototype vs. InFamous Challenge
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NEXT
I'm not sure what scares me more, the images or some of the responses to this thread >.<
Wait: were they labeled backwards? The first was InFamous and the second was Prototype. Or am I just having a dyslexia moment...
Good for both of them I geuss. I'm going to purge my eyes out now.
Makes me wish that Prototype had unicorns.
Wow. Just. Wow..
Oh god no.
Well I can only thank $diety that it's not particularly arousing.
...No way. Holy crap they really did it....wow.
jus wondering who bothers to make pic's like that....its just.....ummmm interesting
Huh. It was weird how they both had unicorns...I wonder if this means anything.
I am... impressed, to say the least, by those submissions.
Those are truly some sick, hilarious minds you have at your development studios.
Best fucking picture ever!
I will never sleep good at night ever again.
Its very funny but I kinda want that I never saw it in the first place XD
Has anyone else gained a newfound, or at least greater, respect for both of these companies?
That was amazing. At least we finally know which is better...
I think this shows how much free time Free Radical and Sucker Punch have.
... The awesomeness of the games industy just quadrupled, one of the few areas with a sense of humor.
Yahtzee, the power of Gods resigns with in him.
This will be recorded in the anneals of epic win for all to read and be humbled by. The day that one being, all be it a powerful one, made man and corporation alike kneel before him in awe of his might.
Did they get Yahtzee to crouch so that his photo would fit next to the text?
I kid, I kid.
This was complete fucking srange but atleast it was fun to read and it had a winner!^^
I CALLED THAT SHIT. It was delightful
Thats sooo wrong, and I could have gone my hole life without looking even close at those images, but Yahtzee had to point it out.
Sucker Punch could have just been lazy and sent them a picture of a hot chick since Alex can take the form of anyone.
Im confused...it sounded like he said the Prototype pic won, then said InFamous...my head hurts.
Both companies though are better in my eyes now. It is nice when they are willing to take part in things like this for fan's amusement, as well as being aware of such things.
We'll say it again for those that didn't read properly.
As a side note, anybody want to give odds of one of the legal team for the two studios not getting the joke and starting up a copyright infringement suit?
I totally called this. When I saw Yahtzee's Prototype video I just had a feeling this would happen.
IMHO prototype stuck true to the request and did nothing to "augment" and gave us a straight up render of the character in lingere "drag", win! obviously Yahtzee is easily influenced by a pair of tits, even if they are on a man's body.
ah I hoped he would keep it at draws and just see who'd cave in the fastest :P
Nice to see gaming companies can loosen up, besides Valve. That's damn good art that was done, as well as obvious humor. Cheers to both!
Both of these are excellent fodder for sequels to the comparatively bland plots of both games. Cole would be...electric in Vegas, and Alex simply ravishing atop a charismatic unicorn. The devs need to recognize this before it's doomed to that strange, strange land of fan fiction...
Oh god, I can't believe they actually submitted pictures....
Oh my god lol that's hilarious
That Prototype image is classy. It has this innocent coquettish that embodies, the romantic in even the most prudish of women.
Both, They had the guts to face the challenge, but to make something like that is just...disturbing

Case #29 from Shinji Shobogenzo Book One
One day Master Zengen went with his teacher Master Dogo to visit a house where someone had recently died to express their condolences. When they were alone, Master Zengen patted the coffin and said to Master Dogo, "Is he alive or dead?"
Master Dogo said, "I will not say alive or dead."
Master Zengen said, "Why won't you say?"
Master Dogo said, "I will never say. I will never say."
On the way back to the temple, Master Zengen said, "Master! Please give me your answer now! If you won't I'll hit you!"
Master Dogo said, "You can hit me if you want. I will not say."
Master Zengen hit his teacher several times with his fist, but Master Dogo still refused to answer.
On returning to the temple, Master Dogo said, "I think it would be better for you to leave this temple. But if the Head Monk hears you are leaving it will cause trouble."
After Master Dogo died, Master Zengen went to the temple of Master Sekiso. He told Master Sekiso about the incident and asked him for his teaching.
Master Sekiso said, "I will not say alive or dead."
Master Zengen said, "Why won't you say."
Master Sekiso said, "I will never say. I will never say."
On hearing these words, Master Zengen finally understood.
This is one of the first koans I heard from my first teacher. It must have been something I was concerned about at the time. I started studying Buddhism for the same reason lots of people do. I was worried about death. I was unsatisfied with the Christian explanation of what death meant and what took place afterward. Yet I found atheism an unsatisfying alternative. I suppose this had a lot to do with my wanting to cling to the hope of an afterlife. But it also had a whole lot to do with the way I found the atheists I'd met or whose words I'd read seemed to be just as smug and self-satisfied with their certain knowledge of there not being an afterlife as the religious people I'd met were with their knowledge of all the details of what happens after you die. I found them both equally unconvincing.
For a while I was attracted to the idea of reincarnation. That scheme made more sense at least than the Christian idea. I mean, I always wondered what happened to a person in the Christian scheme whose sins weighed up to just a tiny bit more than his good deeds. I figure there must be a whole lot of people like that. Did they get tossed into Hell with Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin and all the rest of them? At least with reincarnation, you got another chance to make up that percentage. Still, reincarnation wasn't wholly satisfying either.
I really liked this story when I heard it. It seemed like the most perfectly sensible explanation I'd ever heard.
Master Zengen wants to reduce the real world into just two categories that he believes he understands thoroughly. Either the guy in the casket is alive, maybe in Heaven or Hell or awaiting reincarnation, or he's dead. But his teacher didn't want to reduce reality to those categories. They are just descriptions, not the thing itself.
Life and death are just real states at the present moment. Even if you knew what happened after death, you wouldn't really know. I mean, I know that on October 24th, I'm giving a lecture in Hastings, Nebraska. I have no idea what it will be like. I could gather every scrap of information ever written about Hastings, Nebraska and I still wouldn't know the real situation that will happen when I get there.
This koan isn't just about life and death, it's about our whole approach to knowing and not knowing. We're very keen to acquire knowledge. Zengen thought that his teacher possessed some knowledge he did not have. He thought that if his Master told him what he knew then he would possess that knowledge and the matter would be settled. But it's never like that.
Years later when he puts the question to Sekiso, Zengen is a different person. His practice has matured. He's stopped chasing after other people's knowledge. So when he hears the very same answer once again, this time he gets it.

DeKALB – Twenty-two members of the fraternity where a 19-year-old freshman died last month were charged Monday with hazing.
David Bogenberger was found dead at the fraternity house Nov. 2. Authorities said Monday that a toxicology report showed Bogenberger had a blood-alcohol content of 0.351 percent when he died.
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, 1020 W. Hillcrest Drive, along with 31 student members, also are facing academic charges that could affect the fraternity's permanent status as a registered student organization, Northern Illinois University officials said Monday in a news release. The students face academic sanctions, with penalties possibly rising to expulsion from the university.
Five of the fraternity members face felony hazing charges, which carry a maximum penalty of three years in prison. The other 17 members face misdemeanor charges.
The criminal and academic charges stem from an unsanctioned "parents night" party that the fraternity, known as the Pikes, allegedly hosted Nov. 1 for freshman Bogenberger and 18 other fraternity pledges. The event was not registered with the national fraternity organization or with NIU officials.
Bogenberger's family called on university and fraternity leaders to stop alcohol-based hazing and initiation rituals.
"No other family should have to endure what we are going through," the family said in a prepared statement. "Yet, we are losing these talented, beautiful and hopeful young people because of illegal drinking unrestrained by maturity and exacerbated by social pressure."
On Nov. 1, Bogenberger and the other pledges drank vodka and other liquor from plastic cups for about two hours while playing a game in which they were asked a series of questions after being assigned "moms" and "dads," according to a joint news release from DeKalb police and the DeKalb County State's Attorney's Office.
The moms were fraternity members' girlfriends or members of various sororities, while the dads were upperclassmen in the fraternity.
Bogenberger, a 2012 Palatine High School graduate, was found dead at the fraternity house the next morning. Several other pledges told authorities that they got sick or passed out because of heavy drinking, police said.
DeKalb County Coroner Dennis Miller ruled Bogenberger's death accidental. Miller said the cause was "cardiac arrhythmia, with alcohol intoxication as a significant condition contributing to death."
A 160-pound man who consumes 14 drinks in two hours would have a peak blood-alcohol content of 0.34 percent, said Aaron White, a neuroscientist with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in Bethesda, Md.
If the same man had 15 drinks in two hours, he would have a peak blood-alcohol content of 0.37 percent.
Drinking that much that quickly can affect the brain's ability to control basic body functions, such as gag reflexes and heartbeats, White said.
"You just sort of sledgehammer the brain circuits that are responsible for memory," White said.
The hazing charges indicate the fraternity members allegedly provided underage pledges with alcohol and created a situation in which they "felt compelled to consume alcohol as part of membership initiation and the Greek parenting process," officials said in the release.
Aside from those charged, 20 to 25 other people, including the women involved with "parents night," were at the fraternity that night, DeKalb Detective Lt. Jason Leverton said. Those people were not an active part of providing the alcohol or compelling the drinking, he said.
The Greek dads were the ones encouraging the drinking, Leverton said.
Leverton also said the fraternity and those associated with the events that night cooperated with the investigation for the most part.
The "parents night" party was not registered with NIU officials, according to an NIU news release. University policy requires all Greek social events be registered at least five days in advance with the university's Office of Student Involvement and Leadership Development.
The university also can charge students with academic sanctions separate of criminal ones. NIU spokesman Paul Palian said if the students are found guilty via the university's judicial process, they could face sanctions up to and including suspension or expulsion.
Palian said the 31 students were notified of the academic charges Dec. 7. At individual hearings, they will have the opportunity to present their side of the story.
"They have a right to the hearing," Palian said. "This is the first step."
Although academic charges are separate from the criminal charges, they do not operate in a vacuum. Palian said new evidence or developments in the criminal changes could change the academic charges.
"We can amend or change as new evidence comes from those cases," Palian said.
Before a fraternity or sorority can host an event with alcohol, at least 51 percent of the membership must participate in training on the university's "social policy, party monitoring tips, how to register a social event, how to manage risk and general alcohol education information," the news release said.

In addressing the deficit today, President Obama opened his remarks with the crucial truth: "at a time when our economy's still recovering from the great recession, our top priority has to be jobs and growth. That's the focus of the plan that I talked about during the campaign." And he declared: "we can't just cut our way to prosperity."
Yesterday the Campaign for America's Future joined with 28 other groups to publish an ad in the Washington Post that declared "The best way to reduce the deficit is to put people back to work and get our economy going again." And we urged the President and Congress to "keep the election results in mind and resist budget cuts that slow our economy and hurt families." And today we joined 146 national organizations in calling on the President and Congress to prioritize job creation, oppose benefit cuts to social insurance programs, protect the safety net and require corporations and wealthy individuals to pay their fair share.
We are pleased that the President is insisting on letting the Bush tax cuts expire for people making over $250,000 per year, and that in his statement he did not suggest unacceptable cuts.
In CAF's poll by Stan Greenberg, we found that Americans who voted for the President reject cuts for the wealthy – and they strongly oppose cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits.
Therefore we will work with our allies to make sure economic policy focuses on Jobs and Growth, Not Austerity – and on Wednesday of next week we will release a policy statement signed by 350 economists with that title.

Professor Snape is gone but not forgotten.
After news broke that Alan Rickman died from cancer, his "Harry Potter" stars turned to social media to pay tribute to their fallen friend. Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, wrote an emotional post on his Google Plus page that highlighted how wonderful the British actor was despite what people might have assumed given his character's intimidating persona.
"Alan Rickman is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors I will ever work with. He is also, one of the loyalest and most supportive people I've ever met in the film industry. He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter," Radcliffe wrote. "I'm pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York. He didn't have to do that. I know other people who've been friends with him for much much longer than I have and they all say 'if you call Alan, it doesn't matter where in the world he is or how busy he is with what he's doing, he'll get back to you within a day.'"
U.S. & World
WATCH: Is Daniel Radcliffe going to appear in the Harry Potter prequel?
Even though Snape turned out to be a kindhearted professor — Harry even honored his life by naming his child after him — Radcliffe understood that viewers might confuse onscreen characters with real life personalities. His statement put to rest any scary thoughts you might have had about the star.
"People create perceptions of actors based on the parts they played so it might surprise some people to learn that contrary to some of the sterner (or downright scary) characters he played, Alan was extremely kind, generous, self-deprecating and funny," the statement continued. "And certain things obviously became even funnier when delivered in his unmistakable double-bass.
"As an actor he was one of the first of the adults on Potter to treat me like a peer rather than a child," he continued. "Working with him at such a formative age was incredibly important and I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life and career. Film sets and theatre stages are all far poorer for the loss of this great actor and man."
Author J.K. Rowling also paid tribute to the "Die Hard" star by tweeting, "There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of Alan Rickman's death. He was a magnificent actor &a wonderful man. My thoughts are with Rima and the rest of Alan's family. We have all lost a great talent. They have lost part of their hearts.
Emma Watson, who portrayed Hermione Granger, also shared kind words on her Facebook page. "I'm very sad to hear about Alan today. I feel so lucky to have worked and spent time with such a special man and actor," she wrote. "I'll really miss our conversations. RIP Alan. We love you."
READ: Surprise! Alan Rickman secretly married Rima Horton after more than 40 years together
Professor Trelawney, probably better known as Emma Thompson, said her tribute was "so hard" to write because she recently kissed him goodbye. She also co-starred with him in "Love Actually."
"What I remember most in this painful leave-taking is his humour, intelligence, wisdom and kindness," she wrote. "His capacity to fell you with a look or lift you with a word. The intransigence made him the great artist he was--his ineffable and cynical wit, the clarity with which he saw most things, including me, and the fact that he never spared me the view. I learned a lot from him."
PHOTOS: The best Harry Potter movie moments ever
She continued, "He was the finest of actors and directors. I couldn't wait to see what he was going to do with his face next. I consider myself hugely privileged to have worked with him so many times and to have been directed by him. He was the ultimate ally. In life, art and politics. I trusted him absolutely. He was, above all things, a rare and unique human being and we shall not see his like again."
Rickman's family released a statement to break the tragic news. "The actor and director Alan Rickman has died from cancer at the age of 69. He was surrounded by family and friends," it read.
His final film, "Alice Through the Looking Glass," hits theaters in May.

Lamborghini just released a teaser image of their new Hurácan Super Trofeo race car, and it's going to give you nightmares. Just look at that thing. It's going to suck you in through its front grille and you'll never come out. Probably.
On Tuesday Lamborghini brought the new Super Trofeo to Vallelunga for its first test, in preparation for its debut in Lamborgini's Blancpain Super Trofeo racing series. It will race in Europe, Asia, and North America and will share the grid with the Gallardo Super Trofeo, though they will be in different classes.
No word as to whether or not Lamborghini will use the very literal camouflage as a livery for one of the racers, but they absolutely should. You will see the Hurácan on track next year, as well as in your nightmares.

Combine dry yeast, oil and warm water in a small bowl. Stir until yeast dissolves, several seconds. Combine flour and sea salt. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix to form a dough. Knead for 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl and place the dough in it. Cover with a damp cloth, place in a warm area and let rise for about 2 hours until double in size. Divide the dough in half and form 2 pizza crusts. Place the dough on pizza pans and spoon the pizza pasta sauce over the dough. Add your favorite toppings. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. The pizza can now be frozen for a least a week before baking, or bake in a preheated 400° oven for 25 minutes until light brown and crispy on the bottom.
NOTE: Eden Bonito Flakes make a delicious treat After adding all toppings and baking, crumble the bonito flakes on top and place pizza under the broiler for several seconds to crisp the flakes.

We've been breeding a number of baby Spiny Leaf Insects at Backyard to Bush. Interestingly, these little creatures are not classified as true leaf insects; they are a species of stick insect, otherwise known as phasmids.
Female phasmids can lay fertile eggs without the help of a male. The process is called parthenogenesis and it's almost a type of cloning, all the young will be female.
If she does come across a male to fertilise her eggs then her young will be a mix of males and females. She constantly flicks eggs all around her using the end of her body so they don't all land in a pile because in the wild this would give away her location to predators such as lizards and birds.
The eggs are very special and have their own clever form of protection. They have a little knob of a sugar-like substance on the end which attracts ants.
The ants will carry the eggs back to their nest so that they can eat the sugary treat in peace. The eggs can stay dormant for up to 2 years!
When the egg finally hatches, a tiny Spiny Leaf Insect that looks just like a big ant will emerge. The ants don't recognise the phasmid as an intruder and it can find its way out of the ants' nest and climb up a tree to safety!
As you can see, they are very clever and sneaky and have exceptional camouflage. This is why they are named phasmids, which derives from the word phantom or ghost!
