Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 30, 2017

“Did you check to be sure all the windows are closed and that the stove is turned off?”

I always sing “We’re off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz!”

I just need to stop at the office for a moment.

“Atomic batteries to Power, turbines to Speed!”

… and sometimes, “On the road again-n-n…”

Tally Ho and away we go! From the Heckel and Jeckel TV show. That’s how they closed each show. Tally ho and away we go, see you next week with a brand new show.

Better than Bonnie and Clyde.

“Remember, I’m driving half the time so we don’t kill each other”

Certainly not that.

Off we go like a herd of turtles.or sometimes, the ever hilariousOff we go like a turd of hurtles.

There are 106 miles to Chicago. We have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.

Muppets Baby! Movin’ right along!

all right you kids, everybody went to the bathroom right? I’m not stopping for anything until lunch….

When my brother and I were moving our mom to Fresno, we did a shout-out to our old home town in the words of Holden Caulfield: “SLEEP TIGHT, YOU MORONS!”

“Are you sure you aren’t forgetting something?”

“on the road again…”

Saddle up. Let’s be on our way, for the roundup starts at Yellow Cat 50 miles away.

Dear God, please protect us as we travel and watch over our family while we are away.

Lord, keep your angels round about us to protect us.

Are we there yet?

To the batmobile

“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads!”

“Angels and ministers of grace defend us! Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 4”

“Did you turn off the … ?”

“A million bottles of beer on the wall, a million bottles of beer … Take one down, pass it around, nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall” …. and so on.

“Next time we’re flying!”

“We must be off!” Could be taken a number of ways . . . .

Off like a dirty shirt.

“First stop: Timmy Ho’s!”

Engage!

Let’s blow this pop stand.

See ya suckers!

“The game’s afoot!”

We play ‘Magic Carpet Ride’.

Wagons…..Ho!

Tally Ho Sis.

Off like a herd of geriatric turtles of steroids!

Up, up and away!

“Did you load new music in the thumb drive?”

“Head ’em up! Move ’em out!”

Damn…. I forgot to _________________ !

Which one is Shrek and which one is Donkey?

We got a long way to go & a short time to get there. I’m east-bound so watch ol’ Bandit run!

We’re off to see the wizard.

Let’s have fun storming the castle

B double E double R U N Beer run!https://youtu.be/pyCPhIjmk-s

Are we there yet?

Hold this while I back out of the driveway.

Off like a prom dress.

“GET IN! GET IN! CARS ARE COMING! We travel in a Class B RV that is kept on our driveway. We live on a 4 lane main road and have to back it out to drive. I have to stand in the middle of the road with a walkie talkie and tell him when he can back out, then run to the sidewalk to wait for him – this is what he says as I am getting in after he has pulled over to the curb – and is sticking out into the right hand lane.

This is followed by “Did I lock the door?”

We say another Pee Wee Adventure.
