Your mother wears army boots - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

(From SNL's Exorcist?)

Wolf:  "I was furry before furry was cool!!  Looks good on you though!  Some blood would complete the ensemble!  Oh I forgot, I don't talk!  GRRRR!!!"

(Thanks very much for the origin story, which I didn't know.  I never hung out with my WW2 father.  I know the kids' insult though, I'm in late middle age now... one the run home to catch DS legions.... childhood was filled with unexplained expressions the troops brought home from the battlefields, like "SNAFU"...)
