fundementalist
Someone who is "insane and enjoys every minute of it", often defending/rationalizing his crazed behavior and warped values with misguided religion.
Ambrose Bierce spoke of a "mad" person's being just as totally sure of his own sanity as anyone else would be --- I wonder if he had fundementalists in mind?

Junior or Senior?
A question that parents should realize that they will have to resign themselves to frequently asking in the future if they decide to name their newborn son after his father.
Naming "Little Man" after Dad may indeed be a charming and awesome "father-son bonding" parental choice, but one should carefully consider the overall and "long-term" advisability of said decision, since it eventually will subject all members of the family to the burden of always having to ask, "Junior or Senior?" when they answer the telephone and the caller requests to speak to "John Smith".

Playskool
1. One of the most popular brand of "toddler toys".
2. What bored and "3-R's"-weary students secretly wish that their learning-establishment was.
2. What bored and "3-R's"-weary students secretly wish that their learning-establishment was.
Having your local kindergarten be just a "playskool" might indeed be an enjoyable and "easy-street" situation, but the word itself starkly demonstrates why this would not be a wise or healthy state of being --- proper spelling is important to sane and productive adult life, so the brand-name implies that if you just "play" all the time, you will likely not know how to properly spell "school" or a lot of other words.
hypothetical generosity
The age-old "easy for you to say" confirmation that you would indeed be kind/liberal with extra resources **if you had them**.
A "classic" tongue-in-cheek reference to hypothetical generosity is related in the humorous short story "Downeast Socialism", by Maine humorist Marshall Dodge: Ethan Robay was tellin' Enoch Turner 'bout the lectshuh he'd heard Norman Thomas give about Socialism. "It's all 'bout SHARIN', Enoch --- with socialism, a fella SHAYUHS ever'thin' with his neighbuh."
"Does dat mean, Ethan, dat if you had two fahms, you'd give me one of dem?" Enoch asked.
"Ayuh --- if I had two fahms, Enoch, I'd give you one of them," Ethan replied.
"And does dat also mean, if you had two hay-rakes, you'd give me one of dem, too?" Enoch puhsisted.
"Yuh --- if I had two hay-rakes, I'd give you one of them," Ethan confirmed.
Enoch cocked his nose a might and flashed Ethan a crafty smirk. "And if you had two **hogs**, Ethan --- would you give me one of DEM??"
"DANG you, Enoch --- you KNOW that I **got** two HOGS!"
"Does dat mean, Ethan, dat if you had two fahms, you'd give me one of dem?" Enoch asked.

Are we having fun yet?
A tongue-in-cheek query that someone asks his buddy when they are engaged in a horridly-boring and/or disagreeable task. Intended to lighten the mood and sympathize with your co-worker about the less-than-pleasant job/situation.
Dude, helping his buddy to sweep up piles of scattered wood-shavings in a warehouse they're tidying up: "Are we having fun yet?"

The content of "Made in Maine with Lou McNally" is never of much interest to me, but they've got one WHOPPER of a theme song!
