Transcript:
Mom: Here we are! I don't see Grandma outside. Alice: Maybe she's riding Big Shirley. Maybe she rides Big Shirley out into traffic armed with a bazooka. That shoots deviled eggs. Mom: You sound like one of Dill's scarier brothers.
fritzoid: As I remember, John Wayne Gacy was also pudgy with glasses, as was Himmler (maybe no ponytail, though). Who REALLY knows what goes on in Dill’s home?
Dill’s dad (I can’t remember the last name, but it was given) is cuddly-pudgy. Gacy wasn’t cuddly. Would you prefer he looked like Ted Bundy? He was supposedly quite handsome…
@jelzap; actually, a bazooka isn’t all that heavy. It’s really just an aluminum tube that acts a guidance for the rocket-propelled ballistic projectile with a shaped-charge warhead. In the original M1 bazooka, the launcher weighed all of 13 pounds, while each round weighed 3½ poinds. Any self-respecting granny could hump a 13-pound launcher!

Alice could be right…. Someday we need to see at least one of Dill’s brothers.

What else would you do with deviled eggs? You certainly wouldn’t want to hang the deviled egg.

Actually, the movie was “They shoot Horses, Don’t They?” So horses should be replaced with cars and not deviled eggs
Deviled eggs, not just for snacking anymore.

Man, I’d love to get blasted with Deviled Eggs.

@jelzap: Never underestimate the carrying capacity of your typical 80-year-old peasant grandmother. Especially one who is wont to throw eggs at cars.

my grandmother passed at the age of 87 and was carrying two 25 pound sacks of potatoes at a time from the car to the kitchen every other week

I wish I had a Big Shirley to ride into traffic.

Maybe Grandma’s still inside making the deviled eggs. These things take time, y’know.

“I wonder how many scary brothers Dill has?”
All of them (there are four).
“Not to mention their dad.”
We’ve seen Dill’s dad, and he’s not very scary. Pudgy, glasses, ponytail… Like a 40-year-old grad student.

Wait, Dill has scarier brothers? You mean worse than the normal scary behavior of his brothers? I fear for the neighborhood.
