Dosn't this sound like something Mr. Herriman would say? (it's from the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch)

Quote:

C: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, "a little fermented curd will do the trick," so, I curtailed my Walpoling activites, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!
O: Come again?
C: I want to buy some cheese.
O: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the bazouki player!
C: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse!
O: Sorry?

That sounds more like Bertie Wooster

I think Herriman is quite a character, despite being so strict at the house. You know, maybe he or Madame Foster (probably neither one, but maybe Frankie) could explain to Mac's mother that there are humans that still hang out with their Imaginary Friends through most of life. Just a thought.

I recall saying that to someone once, in a discussion somewhere. But I agree with others who say that Mom wanted Bloo gone largely for selfish reasons, because she couldn't deal with the fighting between the kids and Bloo and she was hoping getting rid of Bloo would be a "band-aid" solution. I'll bet she doesn't see the fighting anymore, too, as Bloo was surely the one who provoked Terrence and Terrence for his part I doubt smacks Mac around when Mom's right there.

I love Mr.Herriman. I can't dislike that bunny, no matter HOW strict or pompous he is. But that's probably because he has remained loyal to his creator his whole life, and he helps to run Foster's, obviously showing that he cares about not only fellow IFs, but the bonds between IFs and creators.
Besides, Mr. Herriman is a bunny. A BUNNY. Nuff said.

Dear Friends ...

Let's not forget Mr. Herriman's abject fear of puppies and dogs. And there was the time he went "wild" when the gang was camping and he met the wild bunnies (who picked his pocket in the end).

Mostly though, I have to agree with comments made above on Mr. Herriman and Mrs. Foster. Imagine what kind of kid she was, and more ... imagine what kind of ADULT she is NOW! Her imaginery friend is still hanging around! I think the true focus should be on Mrs. Foster. Did she have a love? Must have because she has a grand daughter? What did she do before she opened the home for wayward Imaginary Friends? What is her favorite color? What does she like to eat? Is she completely out of her mind, or only a little. Did she do a stint wrapping christmas gifts at Bloomingdales?

Maybe if we went back in time, we would discover that Louise is really Mrs. Foster and they are totally caught in a quantum time loop.

Now that would be wierd.

ACK! Why haven't I visited this thread yet!? Stupid busy schedule and stupid me...

Yes. Herriman is SPIFFIN'. Not much more to say, ha. You guys already said a lot.

So...Herriman is popcorn.

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but since I haven't seen it, I decided to mention it.

WHY does Mr. Herriman refer to all the male characters on the show by the title, "Master" So-and-So? According to what I was taught as a child, with regards to title etiquette, you are to refer to a male as "Master" Whatever if he is under 18 years of age, and therefore not legally an adult, and use the title "Mister" once he reaches the age of 18(and beyond). In that case, I can understand Herriman referring to Mac and Bloo as "Master Mac" and "Master Blooregard", since they are just eight and five, respectively, but he also refers to Wilt and Eduardo as "Master Wilt" and "Master Eduardo", when both of them are certainly older than 18! Since Eduardo IS quite childlike, I can almost see using that title when referring to him, but Wilt acts as grown-up as I'd expect most human males of his age to act, so there's really no excuse there. It can't be because they're Imaginary Friends, since Herriman refers to HIMSELF as "MISTER Herriman", and he, too, is just as Imaginary as they are! Is this perhaps a subtle "put-down" of the others, a reminder to them that he's in charge and that their opinions count for nothing, or what?
