ernie was the best roommate i'll ever have. i remember talking to him for hours everyday about a myriad of subjects ranging from the daily news to ernie's own deep philosophy of life.
me: ernie, what do you think about the ethics of nation building?
ernie: puppy ! puppy ! puppy! (whistles) here puppy!
me: really? i would've expected you to be more of a progressive and less of a objectivist
ernie: birdy, birdy
me: i know that, say, what's your take on miller's "incident at vichy" ?
ernie: (whistling the andy griffith theme)
me: such an apologist
ernie: squawk, whistling, whistling "this old man"
me well, i'm going to take a nap
ernie: birdy?
me: goodnite ernie bird.
i love that bird from the bottom of my heart.
