A popular lino.
| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| (Roger Price:Hoffwoman) In Price's In One Head And Out The Other, the bible of Avoidism, his character Clayton Slope "had a clever trick of saying any conceivable sentence so that it sounded like 'I had one grunch but the eggplant over there'". Fans find the expression useful, too. |
"I had one once, but the wheels fell off," a fannish riff on the Avoidist catchphrase, became an even more popular interlineation.
