Interesting combo.

It’s important to have a dream – I wonder what he’ll do now he’s accomplished this one?

My childhood dreams were to drive a lorry and own a Jag. The realisation was nothing like the dream.

And Cousin Itt.

While you’re there, make like a chimney sweep.

One Flue Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

And Bert the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins.

He won the opportunity to do just that in the Chimney Sweeps.

A dream influenced, perhaps, by Tex Avery’s 1943 cartoon One Ham’s Family, in which the Big Bad Wolf masquerades as Santa to come down the pigs’ chimney, starting at 2 minutes 45 seconds:

And Tim Allen?

Most chimneys aren’t big enough for a person to get down, much less Santa…

Sorry, but the Big Bad Wolf did not gain access to little pigs by climbing down the chimney!

People have died trying this stunt. A modern chimney is blocked by a flue.

Ho Ho Ho…..

You’re doing it backwards, Other end up.

Looks like you’re shtuck. Just like the guy in a Recue 9-1-1 segment. That was pretty comical, actually. Go to YouTube and look up Rescue 911 – “Chimney Trapped Crook”.

Those were your heroes? What about Cousin Itt?

“Hey! What are you doing? Don’t start a fire, you idiot!

Did I call you an idiot? I’m so sorry…"
