Why pay Tuesday for a hamburger today 

A catchphrase coined by Whimpy in the old Popeye cartoons and comics. It was actually "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"

Basically, someone who uses this or a similar phrase is trying to get something on credit, and may or may not follow through in paying you back.
"Why pay Tuesday for a hamburger today?"
"Because food debt doesn't have interest."
From naked, a different, possibly cuter way to say someone doesn't have a scrap of clothing on.

As opposed to naked, this word only applies to people, rather then also to inamiate objects.
"I'm nakers! I'm nakers!"
"That's nice son, no go put some pants on."

let's blow this popsicle stand! 

A very silly way to say "Let's get a move on."

Pokey used this phrase at the beginning of Earthbound for SNES
Let's blow this popsicle stand... but don't you think you should say goodbye to your mon first?
