Top 10 Wellerisms

We’ve just finished watching the 1984 version of The Pickwick Papers, and so here’s my definitive Top 10 that nobody asked for, of the greatest hits of Mr. Samivel Veller:

1. “He wants you particklar; no one else’ll do, as the Devil’s private secretary said ven he fetched avay Doctor Faustus.”

2. “That’s what I call a self-evident proposition, as the dog’s-meat man said, when the housemaid told him he warn’t a gentleman.”

3. “Vich I call addin’ insult to injury, as the parrot said ven they not only took him from his native land, but made him talk the English langwidge arterwards.”

4. “It’s a great deal more in your way than mine, as the gen'l’m'n on the right side o’ the garden vall said to the man on the wrong un, ven the mad bull vos a-comin’ up the lane.”

5. “He’s a malicious, bad-disposed, vorldly-minded, spiteful, windictive creetur, with a hard heart as there ain’t no soft'nin’, as the wirtuous clergyman remarked of the old gen'l’m'n with the dropsy, ven he said, that upon the whole he thought he’d rayther leave his property to his vife than build a chapel vith it.”

6. “If you know’d who was near, sir, I rather think you’d change your note; as the hawk remarked to himself vith a cheerful laugh, ven he heerd the robin-redbreast a-singin’ round the corner.”

7. “Wotever is, is right, as the young nobleman sweetly remarked wen they put him down in the pension list ‘cos his mother’s uncle’s vife’s grandfather vunce lit the king’s pipe vith a portable tinder-box.”

8. “I only assisted natur, ma'am; as the doctor said to the boy’s mother, after he’d bled him to death.”

9. “Sorry to do anythin’ as may cause an interruption to such wery pleasant proceedin’s, as the king said wen he dissolved the parliament.”

10. “Business first, pleasure arterwards, as King Richard the Third said wen he stabbed t’other king in the Tower, afore he smothered the babbies.”

Every time I handle an item of clothing at work that I think is absolutely hideous I have to remind myself that I dress like a renn faire vampire, so I can't be too judgemental.

Extremely cool that I can say things like "I'm putting together my speech on phrenology for the museum" as a volunteer docent!

(Sample of the speech: "While you can see from this exhibit that phrenology was debunked more than a century ago, this sort of thinking keeps coming back. People are always looking for a scientific-sounding way to make themselves look better and other people look worse. It has been used to justify discrimination up to and including murder, and it's important to recognize that kind of pseudo-science when you hear it. Remember these skulls!")

“Lord Byron gets up at two. I get up, quite contrary to my usual custom … at 12. After breakfast we sit talking till six. From six to eight we gallop through the pine forest which divide Ravenna from the sea; we then come home and dine, and sit up gossiping till six in the morning. I don’t suppose this will kill me in a week or fortnight, but I shall not try it longer. Lord B.’s establishment consists, besides servants, of ten horses, eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon; and all these, except the horses, walk about the house, which every now and then resounds with their unarbitrated quarrels, as if they were the masters of it… . [P.S.] I find that my enumeration of the animals in this Circean Palace was defective … . I have just met on the grand staircase five peacocks, two guinea hens, and an Egyptian crane. I wonder who all these animals were before they were changed into these shapes.”

— Percy Bysshe Shelley on the lifestyle of Lord Byron (via timemarauder)
