Ah yez, mooze and squirrel!

During the 1990s The Bob & Tom Show had a parody of colorful Chicago Cubs baseball announcer Harry Caray as host of a fictional radio sports talk show. One episode featured Garry Kasparov as a "guest," right after his 1997 loss to chess computer Deep Blue. Part of the dialog went approximately (I'm quoting from memory):

Harry: "What! You want a rematch?? B-what are you, retarded?!? That computer <pause> made you its [female dog]! Maybe you should try <pause> a simpler game, like Hungry Hungry Hippos!"

Kasparov: <thick Russian accent> "No. Is no game for me but chess. I love the strategy and the tactics; the thrill of the hunt--<grunting> must kill <grunting> moose and squirrel <grunting>."
