origins of 'toodle pip'
Jan. 28th, 2007 12:29 pmFor those of you that don't know, I used to sign all of my emails and end all of my IM conversations with a short and simple - "Toodle Pip". But where, you might ask, did I pick up such a silly phrase?
Arnold Rimmer.
I was watching Red Dwarf last night, series III, Episode :Marooned. And I saw the exact scene where I snagged it from. It was one of the first scenes that I printed off the internetz, back in the day, from one of the Red Dwarf message boards on good ol' prodigy. *sighs* aaah the memories. (I know Arnie didn't invent the phrase, but it was the first time I was exposed to it.)
And because I've figured out how to embed video on this thing, I googled and found the clip on YouTube. Actually it's a good portion of the episode, but if you don't feel like watching the whole clip, just fast forward to the 5 minute mark and that should begin Rimmer's brilliant 'Don't burn the Shakespeare' bit.
Or, if you don't feel like watching, I found the script online and you can read it under here (though there will be no british accents when you read it, and as
beckanon pointed out, this might lend to the funny).
