DYN: Questions

These are things that I need help with. If anyone knows the answer to one of these questions, please e-mail me.

• Where did the expression, ``oh-be kay-be'' [see Recurrent phrases] come from? One of Bill Cosby's stand-up routines, Fat Albert, the Little Rascals, or somewhere else?

  Note: Mitchell Kriegman says: ``obkb was melissa's expression, i incorporated it.'' This is neat info, but unfortunately still leaves us with the question of where Melissa got it from.

• In ``She Drives Me Crazy'' (#115), what cartoon is Ferguson watching in the ``gift-giving'' scene?
• At the very end of ``She Drives Me Crazy'' (#115), what does Ferguson say after Clarissa says, ``Teenage mutant ninja moron!'' [``Dork-something'']?
• In ``The Silent Treatment'' (#132), when Sam reminds Clarissa that Ferguson has grown taller than her, she says: ``There's height and there's stature, Sam. Never confuse the two.'' Now, I know this is a line from a movie or TV show (except for the ``Sam'' part, of course). What is it from?
• In the opening of ``Blind Date'' (#139), who plays Clarissa as a baby?

  Note: My first thought was that it was one of Melissa's sisters (see Some info about Melissa Joan Hart). But now that I've seen all of her siblings, I know that's not the case.

• In ``The Firm'' (#159), Marshall answers a call from Dempsey, Dempsey & Poteet on Clarissa's phone and wonders afterward how they got the number. We have ample evidence that Clarissa doesn't have a separate line -- in ``Babysitting'' (#151), for example, Clarissa tries to avoid Mrs. Soaperstein's phone call only to have Janet answer the phone downstairs. So do the Darlings have an unlisted number? I would think that other ``phone call'' evidence would prove otherwise. Question: What other phone call evidence would this be?
• What the heck is that frog thing beside the front door (inside the house)?
• In ``Clarissa Gets Arrested'' (#164), was the little musical snippet as Janet and Marshall leave to make ``protest pitas'' something from the ``Love Beads'' album from ``Janet's Boyfriend'' (#127)? ;-)
