Collectors: Garry Gottle's Vent Doll Convention

1 comment:

  1. Okay, so this is a "talk of the town" first-rate collection! But who is Garry Gottle??

    After a Google or should I say GOTTLE search, I narrowed it all down!! Too funny. AND, as usual, I learned something new courtesy of The Kollage Kit!!

    gottle of geer
    cliché A phrase used to imitate and represent ventriloquism (due to how famously difficult the phrase "bottle of beer" is for ventriloquists to say). Often used to imply or indicate ventriloquism in a metaphorical sense. "Of" is sometimes shortened to "o’."
    A: "Want to come see an amateur ventriloquist performance?" B: "And watch some schmuck with a dummy try to say 'gottle o’ geer' for an hour? No thanks."
    A: "He's basically just a puppet being used by the leader of the other country." B: "It's so true. Can you say 'gottle of geer'?"
    Yeah, I don't really have any interest in ventriloquism. Do people actually enjoy watching a "talking" doll say stuff like "gottle of geer"?
