A couple of days ago, someone wanted the complete list of Pinky, AYPWIP
(Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?) quotes.  Well, that was as good a
reason as any to go through my tapes B-), so here is 

   THE COMPLETE "PINKY, ARE YOU PONDERING WHAT I'M PONDERING?" LIST

	B:  It must be inordinately taxing to be such a boob.
	P:  You have no idea.

AN 102 - Win Big
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  Uh, I think so, Brain, but where will we find a duck and a hose
	    at this hour?

AN 109 - Where Rodents Dare
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  I think so, but where will we find an open tattoo parlor at
	    this time of night?  ***

AN 115 - Battle for the Planet
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  Wuh, I think so, Brain, but if we didn't have ears, we'd look
	    like weasels.

AN 118 - Pavlov's Mice
	B:  Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Pinky?  ***
	P:  Uh... yeah, Brain, but where are we going to find rubber pants
	    our size?  ***

AN 124 - Opportunity Knox
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  Uh, I think so, Brain, but balancing a family and a career ...
	    oooh, it's all too much for me.

AN 127 - Jockey for Position
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  Wuh, I think so, Brain, but isn't Regis Philbin already married?

AN 134 - Bubba Bo Bob Brain
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  Uh, I think so, Brain, but burlap chafes me so.

AN 138 - Spell-Bound
	B:  AYPWIP, Pinky?  ***
	P:  Sure, Brain, but how are we going to find chaps our size?  ***

AN 140 - Puppet Rulers
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  Uh, I think so, Brain, but we'll never get a monkey to use 
	    dental floss.

AN 144 - The World Can Wait
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  Uh, I think so, Brain, but this time, you wear the tutu.

AN 147 - When Mice Ruled the Earth
	B:  Pinky, AYPWIP?
	P:  I think so, Brain, but culottes have a tendency to ride up so.

   There has been a Pinky, AYPWIP? in each P&TB episode, but never in their
cameo appearances  (the closest was in the Rita and Runt episode "Of Nice
and Men", where Brain makes a cameo appearance as George's pet mouse, and
as he's flung away, comments to the viewer, AYPWIP?  This does not count
as Pinky is not present for his usual non-sequitor reply.)
    It's also interesting to note Pinky's obsession with clothing for his
lower body - rubber pants, chaps, a tutu, and culottes - those divided
skirts that look like really fully pants.   And why would Pinky wear
culottes, anyway?  Hmmmm.  Of course, there was the time in Noah's Lark
where he was in drag and commented, "These pantyhose are killing me,
Brain.  I think I prefer knee-highs."  Uh oh.  Pinky a cross-dresser!
Someone call Phar Fignewton... or Geraldo!  "Cartoon Transvestite
Anti-Social Mice - and the Evil Geniuses who Love Them - on the next Geraldo"
Zort.  Sorry, Brain.
    Lastly, I put asterixes next to quotes that break the usual pattern of
"Pinky, AYPWIP, Uh, I think so, Brain, but ..."  The only explanation I
can think of to explain them is poor translation.  Obviously, Pavlov's
Mice would speak Russian, and when it was translated into English, the
subtle nuances were lost; hence "pondering" becomes the more prosaic
"thinking," and Pinky is made to seem more confident in his reply.
A similar problem must have occurred with the shift from Old/Middle
English to today's English in Spell-Bound.
	Enjoy!  I will also upload this to the utpapa.ph.utexas site.
