I think all the time about this Beagle interview where he says Spanky used to always say "Zoom with fish. Zoom with Fish". I tried for about an hour the other day and couldn't figure out what video it was from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But the phrase has mutated into basically "

• with [y]", with y often being "piss". It's also sort of in the vein of the "Yankee with no brim".

I watched “the questionable video” the other day and after all the years I think I finally understand what sheffy actually says… it always sounded like he’s saying “the LAWS about skating rocks” but, im pretty sure what he actually said was “I just don’t understand the “VIBE” about skating rocks”.. I could wrong, but I think that’s actually what he said

Yeah, I guess I just never paid enough attention cuz I just now watched the intro again and it’s definitely “vibe” not “laws”

Unfortunately, I have not adopted Cardiel's use of "cinders" because I do not rip hard enough. However, I still feel it is worth mentioning as he uses some hair-raising phrases here.

All hail Cardiel
