who I'm paraphrasing.
That would be my driving instructor from long, long ago. "Tiger" something-or-other...

I told him that a little gasoline would take that dashboard paint from under his fingernails. :biggrin:

I cheated and checked wiki. Many cultural references to the E ticket but i don't see one that fit Kermit's usage

In popular culture[edit]
In 1983, astronaut Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, when asked about the experience of a Space Shuttle launch, famously described it by saying: "Ever been to Disneyland? …That was definitely an E ticket!"[5]

In her 1984 hit novelty song, "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun", Julie Brown describes homecoming queen Debbie's arrival on a float and wearing a tiara and pink chiffon gown as being "definitely an E ticket".

In 1985, the television show MacGyver referenced E tickets. During a harsh truck ride on Season 1, Episode 8 "Hellfire", Angus MacGyver said "this would definitely be an E ride at Disneyland!"

In 1993, parody recording artist "Weird Al" Yankovic compared a fictional visit to Jurassic Park to the Disney rides in the last chorus: "Well this sure ain't no E ticket; think I'll tell 'em where to stick it!"

John Ondrasik, lead singer of the band Five for Fighting, sings "E-tickets don't work here no more anyway" in his hit "Disneyland" on the album "The Battle for Everything" from 2004.

The Disneyland Hotel's concierge lounge is named the E-Ticket Club and features historic photos and posters from Disneyland's E ticket attractions.

The 2010 video game Disney Epic Mickey uses E tickets as a form of in-game currency.

At the end of the 1991 computer game Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, the treasure of Big Whoop, which the player has been trying to find for the whole game, is revealed to be an E ticket.

The Remember... Dreams Come True fireworks show has been described in promotional materials as an "E Ticket in the Sky".

In the late 1980s' and 1990s' emerging rave culture, the phrase "E-Ticket Ride" was a euphemism for a strong dose of Ecstasy or an exceptional rave event where one had a very good time while on MDMA.

What the Crew chief on the Grumman C-2 COD would shout just before launch.
"Grab the jewels boys, Your about to get the Navy's 'E-Ticket' ride."

I took the COD on the USS Midway a few times. Our pilot wasn't so animated. It was around the right era too.
I remember "COD on the ball with mail"! Our COD was named "Konnichiwa" translation: "Good Day"

Ok, boys. I haven't been able to find the clip. Anyway, it was H.M. "Howlin' Mad" Murdock riding a bicycle in a train tunnel while scaring a bad guy, making him think it was a train coming. I'll give the extra credit to anyone who can find the clip. Gotta love me some A-Team.

That brown bikini with Steph standing in the companion way is one for the record books. If they keep books. And they should so that picture can be included.
