SonnysidePop: Milky Way to Haunted Kansas

Pop: "Try a Milky Way and a V8; tastes great, wish we had some, can't wait!"

Son: "Oh, the Billions and Billions of stars to eat, like the Man from Mars who keeps eating cars."
Pop: "And lightning bugs in jars. All tsars and czars to go before I eat, therefore a drink."
Son: "Last call, then back to protect The Wall."
Pop: "The Sea was angry that day, my friend. We don't need no mashed potatoes."
Son: "Only the dust from a falling star."
Pop: "Huffel Dust, me hopes?"*
Son: "Luck of the Irish, laddie."
Pop: "Or, all we are is Kansan dust in the wind."
Son: "All we are saying is, 'Give peace a chance.'"
Pop: "Cause out on the edge of Darkness, there rides a Peace Train. Oh, Peace Train take this country, come take me home again."
Son: "Time to take a free ride, old man Winter the Conductor screeches, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.'"
Pop: "Gas, grass, or ass... nobody rides for free, unless it's your birthday, then you get 1 free ride through the Haunted House all through October."

*Huffel Dust was an imaginary dust that my Irish Great Uncle used to sprinkle on the deck of cards when playing.

SonnysidePop: Beast to Garlic

Gonna start a new blog tag called SonnysidePop. Its purpose to post the results of this game that

my Pops and I have always played (and the reason why I truly believe I have such a random, and sometimes funny, way with words) where we take whatever one has said to the other and let our mind go somewhere else, related, often thought-provoking or requiring much consternation about the long-lost pathway back to a time, place, movie, or song that we know the other should know.

I hope you enjoy the ride...

Pop: "Spoken like the beast that you are."
Son: "You can't tell the church by the size of its steeple."
Pop: "Here is the church and here is the steeple. Quote the Pastor?"
Son: "The well-hidden Pasto Newgate Phillips, secret foe of the Changing Season."
Pop: "Beware of the coming of the Anti-pasto."
Son: "'Cause garlic sticks to kids."
Pop: "Garlic Band-Aids."
Son: "Stick 'n lick. Wards off evil (and cooties). A necessity for an Italian emergency."

The connections...
1. A beast is large, as is a steeple, yet you can't know what's inside of either (Beauty and the Beast).
2. Pastor Newgate Phillips spoke of the "Autumn People" in Something Wicked this Way Comes. I also recently asked Pops if he could find the out-of-print comic book that Bradbury wrote by the title Autumn People.
3. The spelling error prompted a food reference.
4. "Pasto" made me think of "pesto," i.e. garlic & a play on a movie quote from one of my favorites of all time, An Officer and a Gentleman.
5. "I am stuck on Band-Aid, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me!"
6. Too many vampire shows out right now, I'd like some garlic to ward them off.
