Diamond Select Toys is Shutting Down

Hey now, Utah is one of the top 5 states to visit in the US I think, some spectacular scenery.

Pfft. Says a guy that knows where Utah is. Can't exactly take you seriously as a spokesman for the common American, can I? You probably read above a sixth grade level. Get out of here with your monocle and your non-spray can cheese.

Giving this way too much credit. I'd bet most Americans couldn't even name 'Utah' if you asked them to name all 50 states. No one asks shit about Utah except 'where is that?'

Hey now, my choir teacher drilled "Fifty Nifty United States" into our heads as kids enough to where I can still pull that shit out at a party just to look cool.

 

[Damien]

Never pull it out at a party.
Also, I've never heard of this 'Fifty Nifty United States' thing, and I have a feeling I'm glad about that.

 

[altcunningham]

Nifty fifty. No.

 

[joshsquash729]

One could argue it's not a party until you pull it out.

Eh, basically just a way to get kids to memorize all 50 states in alphabetical order. Indoctrination? Perhaps. An earworm that'll drive you mad and will undoubtedly be used in a horror movie trailer one day? Absolutely.

Oh, I DO remember the Animaniacs. But I'm sure that song just flew past me because I always hated musical numbers.

Was Wacko always British?!

Hiking the Narrows in Zion National Park was one of my best days. It's in Utah and I look forward to going back.

Ringo Starr inspired, I believe.

Absolutely, and as @altcunningham noted, his voice was inspired by Ringo Starr. No explanation was ever given...he just has a Liverpool accent while his siblings don't.

Spectacular, but I like Bryce Canyon even more.

Faboo.

 

[joshsquash729]

Faboo.

Wait, is that where Faboo is from?! It's one of my family's recurring little jokes- my mom's said it going back as far as when I was a kid, which would've been when Animaniacs was airing- but I just never bothered to ask where it was from.

He used to say it. Which meant I used to. I had a bookmark too.

Did it originate? That I cannot say.

Yep, that's where it's from!
