...Why exactly are you trying to find out his height? Do you have some kind of elaborate, Wiley Cyote, assasination plan that involes something swinging into his head or something?

...I just pictured that in my head...

And the sound effects, like the "plink, plink, plink" when he walks. Classic.

I'm so bored @ work that I thought I would investigate this for you

Tom Cruise is 5'7

Judging from this photo I would say PTA is 5'10

this thread reminds me of those Bill Brasky sketches on SNL.

[Fade in to a crowded Chuck E. Cheese.]

Salesman #1: Hey... do you guys know a fella by the name of Bill Brasky?

Salesman #2: Bill Brasky!

Salesman #3: Best damn snowmobile salesman there ever was!

Salesman #1: He uses Old Spice aftershave as nasal spray!

Salesman #2: He fashions graven images from frozen seawater!

Salesman #3: He brushes his teeth with a meat cleaver and rock salt!

Salesman #1: This one time, Brasky burned a CD with nothing but the sounds of his bowel movements and the screams of his manservants. It went triple platinum within the month.

Salesman #2: He owns the PAX network.

Salesman #3: He thought "The Princess Diaries" was both "charming" and "sweet depiction of one girl's emergence from youth into womanhood".

Salesman #1: He made Styx BITE IT!

Salesman #2: They say he bleeds peppermint vodka.

Salesman #3: Did I ever tell ya about the time that Brasky and I took a hot air balloon trip over Los Angeles? Brasky brings an atomic bomb and drops it on the city! Then, he looks at me and says, "It would have happened sooner or later."

Salesman #1: The movie "Deliverance" was based on Brasky's experiences as a kindergarden teacher.

Salesman #2: His memoirs are tattooed on Ruth Buzzi!

Salesman #3: He's producing Battlefield Earth 2!

Salesman #2: He invented "The Cleveland Steamer"!

Salesman #3: Most people don't know this, but Bill Brasky has children! This one time, he was banging a hooker and wouldn't ya know it, his semen shoots straight through her tailbone, up through the ceiling and into the sky where it hit a plane! Nine months later, every woman on that plane had Brasky's children! [takes a drink] When they tried to get child support... he paid it every month.

Salesman #1: To Bill Brasky!

Salesman #2 & #3: To Bill Brasky!

Salesman #1: His pubic hair was woven into the Sir Lankan flag!

Salesman #2: His favorite actor is Greg Kinnear!

Salesman #3: His middle name is Julian!

Salesman #1: He uses live elk for toilet paper!

Salesman #2: His cover version of Limp Bizkit's "My Way" appeared on the soundtrack for "Titanic". The pope himself thought the song crackled with energy but he didn't like the sound of burning preschoolers in the background!

[Woman #1 comes over.]

Woman #1: Excuse me. Could you gentlemen please quiet down a bit? We're trying to have a birthday party for my son.

Salesman #3: Yank off, sister! And get us some more complimentary caramel corn!

[She leaves.]

Salesman #1: Did I ever tell you boys about the time that Bill Brasky wanted a World Series ring? Wouldn't ya know it, but Brasky kills the entire starting lineup of the 1998 New York Yankees! All except Clay Bellinger. They beat The Atlanta Braves in four games. Brasky was the MVP.

Salesman #2: He pisses farm fresh orange juice!

Salesman #3: He makes his grandchildren call him "The Anal Astrologist".

Salesman #1: His favorite contestant on Survivor is Teresa.

Salesman #2: To Bill Brasky!

[Fade out.]

That's fucking brilliant. Can you put a script of every Brasky sketch on here? I don't think I've ever laughed harder than the one with Alec Baldwin in the bar...

oh wait, yeah, the Tony Little Pyramid Of Pain was funnier. That's a classic.

And Will Farrel doing Neil Diamond, explaining how he wrote all his songs.
"This last one, I wrote after I killed a drifter to get an erection..."

Oh man, that is fucking hilarious!  I haven't laughed so hard in a while, either.  Thing is about those sketches though, is they're so much more well written than they are performed, because I don't remember them being nearly as funny.

"Bill Brasky once showed me a video of him making love to my wife, and it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw!"

"One time I was with Brasky in the back of a pickup truck, along with a live deer. Brasky goes up to the deer and says, 'I'm Bill Brasky! SAY IT!' Then he manipulates the deer's lips in such a way as to make it say, 'Billbrasky' ... It wasn't exactly like it, but it was pretty good for a deer!'"

"He had a pet cobra named Beverly that he taught to fetch and to dial a phone."

"Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky showed up at my daughter's wedding? You know my daughter, she's a beautiful girl. Well, Brasky shows up... and you know he's a big fella.... goes about 7'8", 530. Well, he's standing right between me and my daughter at the ceremony. He's got no right to be there, but he's drunk and he's Brasky! Well, long story short: the priest accidentally marries me and Brasky! We spend the weekend in the Poconos - he loves me like I've never been loved before!"

"Well, anyway.. he shows up at the church in his golf pants, caked in mud. Well, ol' Bill Brasky pushes the priest aside and says, "I'll baptize that piece of calimari!" Then he pours Scotch all over my baby son and says, "There! You're baptized!".... And he is blind to this day!"

"Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky sold me into slavery? Oh, yeah! He puts me on a ship to Thailand, right? And I'm chained to a pipe. Meanwhile, ol' Brasky, he's back in the States siring three beautiful children with my wife!"
