Joel sometimes let his mouth get ahead of his mind.

He really liked Marty Byrnes.

One night, after Marty had done something manly -- maybe ripped down a rebound -- Joel gushed, "Marty Byrnes, he's..he's...he's a WHITE ANIMAL!"

I think the full phrase was "The kangaroo kid up the invisible ladder"
