Vodpod videos no longer available.
<p>In addition, keeping with today&#8217;s <a href="http://jumpedthesnark.com/2011/01/12/planet-hoth-giving-credit-where-credit-is-due/" target="_blank">snow theme</a>, here&#8217;s a short clip of Danza from <em>Taxi</em> that can serve as your go-to video the next time a blizzard rolls through:</p>

<p>And speaking of ripping people off, was this <em>Taxi</em> clip perhaps the inspiration for the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=441F62A49DD2EC3A&amp;playnext=1&amp;v=Idzra_jQfTs" target="_blank"><em>Bosom Buddies</em> cabin episode</a>?  Makes you think.</p>
