As in my previous post about Susan May Pratt, I suddenly had the urge this morning to recall the lyrics to an old favorite TV show of mine. I remembered that at one point, while on a band trip in high school, a classmate dared me to recite the entire thing from memory, and if I did, he would do 100 'shups (that's push-ups, for the uninitiated). I recall actually winning that dare, although I don't think he ever did his 'shups. I think he claimed that unless I could recite all of the alternate endings, it didn't count. Well, here you are, David Wellfare--pay up!
It's time for Animaniacs
And we're zany to the max
