There is a line from a lesser known Peanuts television special that I quote all the time, but no one has any idea what I’m talking about. It’s level of obscurity prevents me from tracking the reference from memory alone, so I had to use google in order to accurately site the source material.

From “It’s Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown” (1977)

The gang is about to play in the big homecoming football game, and Peppermint Patty is hyping up the team in the locker room, going over plays on a chalkboard, full of Xs, Os, and arrows going every which way. Franklin then asks:

“Are we the zeroes or the exes?”

To which the question is brushed off and they rush unprepared onto the field. Franklin asks again, aside to a fellow teammate while running, still confused and answerless.

Kills me every time I think about it.

I always loved Pigpen because the dust cloud followed him around. However, I always liked (not loved) Lucy's entrepreneurial spirit.
