Thirty Helens Agree

"Thirty Helens Agree" was a brief sketch that opened several episodes of TV's THE KIDS IN THE HALL during its first season. Typically thirty women (all named Helen, apparently) would stand out in a field and chant the answer to the proposition -- such as Announcer: "Thirty Helens Agree" -- Chorus of Helens: "You can't spend too much on a good pair of shoes (or similar bromides)." Then one or two of the Helens would appear and add testimony to the stated point -- "These have lasted me for years," or similar.
Announcer: "Thirty Helens Agree" --

Thirty Helens in field: "Haste makes waste."

Individual Helen: "Don't get in a hurry (or similar)."

Vince Ferelli

Stage name of an absolutely magnificent physical specimen, male, American, ca. 25 y.o., whose persona is that of a muscular but not veiny boxer (prize-fighter) and who has appeared in a number of sexually explicit photo shoots and videos, often if not usually gay.

On first appearing in gay pornography ca. 2008, Ferelli maintained that he was only gay for pay. He has, however, bottomed in many of his gay sex videos. In the opinion of this writer, Ferelli can do anything he wishes except go away. His virility is beyond mere fashion.
-- "Vince Ferelli is the quintessential 'Italian Stallion' -- forget about the others."

-- "I don't know whether to fight him or fuck him." Allegedly said by prize-fighter Jake LaMotta (played by Robert deNiro in Martin Scorcese's 1980 film RAGING BULL) regarding his upcoming bout with handsome French heavyweight Marcel Cerdan (late 1940s).

trunk or treat

from car TRUNK + trick OR TREAT. A style of Halloween trick or treating where children solicit candy and other goodies not from households but from car trunks in an entertainment style similar to tailgating. Trunk or treating has its origins in late 1990s Utah but has since spread to some other locales, generally small towns or suburbs in the Midwest and South. To host a trunk-or-treat event, a sponsoring entity (usually a local church) will offer its parking lot on Halloween afternoon and evening. Participants agree to bring their cars and stock the trunks with candy. A growing custom, there are now websites devoted to explaining the ritual and offering tips for decorating car trunks in Halloween themes.
"Jimmy won't be home 'til almost dark. He's going to trunk or treat with friends."

"Do you mean trick or treat?"

"No, trunk or treat. The kids go to church parking lots and get their candy from the parents' car trunks."

"The younger generation has it too easy, if you ask me."

paraprosdokian

A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax . . . sometimes a very funny turn of phrase.
So what's a "paraprosdokian"?

"Like this: I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness."

"I don't get it"-

"Okay, how about: Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."

"You mean, something like: I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car."

"Phrasemaker!"
