Excellent on so many levels. 😁 “Did you say Abe Lincoln??”

'Such an unusual name, "Latrine." How did your family come by it?'

That whole exchange is ace. 😂

I'm plotzing over all of the 90s references for which my kids have zero context. But there are enough silly gags to keep them happy.

And of course, I meant Rabbi Tuckman. And the girls are definitely confused about circumcisions but I found myself explaining guillotines instead. Bullet dodged.

....aaaand had to explain circumcisions after all by way of explaining what the good Rabbi meant by "invite me to the bris".

And now @cary-elwes.bsky.social is swashbuckling with a vengeance and WHY did no one ever put this man in an Errol Flynn biopic?

We watched Spaceballs last night, and it holds up! Kids were giggling all through, and I was in hysterics during the Alien diner scene - even knowing what was coming.

Haven't seen it in 30 years, probably. @cary-elwes.bsky.social still does it for me, and I had never noticed how much Amy Yasbeck is a dead ringer for Madeline Kahn in the Blazing Saddles era.
