Your Favorite Dick Buttonisms

[haribobo]

Has anyone done a thread on this before? What are some of your more memorable sayings of his? I like 'pleased as punch' and 'the bee's knees'- not that he made those up but still, they are fun.

[attyfan]

From 2003 Worlds ... "it doesn't matter a rusty hoot ..."

My husband likes "I love it ... I love it".

[DORISPULASKI]

That was really "spiffy"

Some day I expect Dick to quote the guy in the Progressive Insurance ad who says that the insurance plan is "OkeymcSmoky Skiddlydoo".

[Flying Camel]

I always love "The program just didn't sing".

[sk8er1964]

I take my hat off...

[TwizzlerS]

That will put him/her in good stead.

And two shall skate as one.

I'll give you dollars to donuts.

Cattywampus catch-phrases of Dick Button!

But if you do a search for "Dick Button" in thread titles in the archive, you also get a ton of competition-specific threads where there are rants against him!

Here's a crazy one:

Hey creepy Uncle Dick, get a magazine for god's sake!

LOL, what a hero this Dick Button !

[paskatefan]

"Good for you, Lucinda Ruh!"

"Good boy, good boy!"

One of my favorite Dick Button moments was when he pinched Irina's rosy cheeks (mid 1990's).

[Aussie Willy]

Exquisite!

[pixie cut]

My favorite Dick Button is the one I hope to hear while he still has some dignity left. "I shouldn't be doing TV anymore."

[my little pony]

if I had a network I'd give him a half hour a wk to just ramble on whatever he wanted

so i guess it would be like the joy behar show but with an intelligent and pleasant person

I liked when he said Stephane's costume looked like the drapes in his dining room.

And then there was that time when he went off about how delicious Rachael's braces were.

[Bostonfan]

I forget who he made this reference to, but the quote was, "This program could use a little more swan and a little less lake"

Was that when Fumie skated her free skate at 2003 Worlds? If it was, I was still so glad she medalled there.

[IceAlisa]

"Her back is so straight, you could iron a shirt on it." Hands down my favorite Button masterpiece.

Second one is Oxalis Bauil. That's what my husband has been calling all oxalis that pops up in our garden.

[Jenna]

"The position on that layback is first rate!"

[Nomad]

"Well, that's an ugly spin." (Yoshie Onda's layback, GPF 2003?)

[Fallcolor]

"That's my least favourite position"
