I loved that Glenn Beck was referencing Peter O'Toole in MY FAVORITE YEAR without saying so. Most listening certainly didn't know where it was from, which made it extra fun if you did. O'Toole (as Alan Swann) is telling Mark Linn-Baker why he can descend the outside of a Manhattan high-rise using a firehose: because he's "been instructed by Niblick." Check out the scene, you won't regret it.
That sounds hilarious! I searched "My Favorite Year Niblick" on 2 different search engines and couldn't find a movie clip re: the Niblick scene in that movie. Darn, that probably would have been funny to see.
