I Be Normal

The one and only time I saw Young Frankenstein I was about nine or ten, and what I remember from it (besides the cool Puttin' on the Ritz music), was the way Marty Feldman's eyes bulged in opposite directions while being strangled by Mel Brooks upon realizing that the brain Feldman had retrieved was not that of a genius scientist, but that of a mysterious person named Abby Normal. The misnomer had me cracking up for days after. After school today, I youtubed the scene, and there they were in pseudo black and white, funny as ever. I'll be Blockbustering that one this weekend.

What prompted me to remember this flick was a student who saw me mirror writing on my white board. She shook her head and said, "That's not normal!" I retorted with, "Hey, I be normal!" She wandered out of my room perplexed.
