Oswald Bates 

The character protrayed by Damon Wayans in the sketch comedy In Living Color who talks nonsense using a lot of big words and has no idea what he's talking.
He usually talks to himself with gestures and facial expressions as if he is arguing with someone else.
"First of all, we must internalize the 'flatulation' of the matter by transmitting the effervescence of the 'Indianisian' proximity in order to further segregate the crux of my venereal infection. Now, if I may retain my liquids here for one moment. I'd like to continue the 'redundance' of my quote, unquote 'intestinal tract', you see because to preclude on the issue of world domination would only circumvent - excuse me, circumcise the revelation that reflects the 'Afro-disiatic' symptoms which now perpetrates the Jheri Curis activation. Allow me to expose my colon once again. The ramification inflicted on the incision placed within the Fallopian cavities serves to be holistic taken from the Latin word 'jalapeno'."

Osawatomie 

A small town in Kansas, USA that is the armpit of the Universe. If you live here you are either poor or dumb, possibly poor AND dumb.
I'd rather be raped with a cactus than live in Osawatomie.

Osama Bin Laden 

The greatest player of hide and seek the world has ever known, rivalled only by Wally/Waldo.
Where, where, where, where's Osama?

Let's play hide and seek, just like Osama Bin Laden does for a living!
