Every single time I see a cardinal on my lanai, I am seized by the impulse to say, "Cardinal Fang!" "and Cardinal Richilieu" if there are 2. I often give in to that impulse and blurt it out for my own amusement. And then I giggle. (This is not my photo, it's from the Internet.)

Our chief weapon is fear!
Fear and surprise!
... Amongst our weaponry are fear, surprise, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope!

I remember the first time I saw this bit and got to the part about the rack and the comfy chair O just about lost it.

Right? Some of that has become part of our family repertoire. Last year I found an oversized chair (with hassock - showing my age here) on freecycle. When I set it up in my small sitting area, my grandkids were quick to come down to check it out. It's a '60s version so it's over stuffed and oversized. And I said to them they should take a seat in the comfy chair. Right on cue, DD shrieked, NOT THE COMFY CHAIR!“

We also frequently say, NObody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" in response to, "I didn't expect that"
