Anyone know where they pulled it from? Or if it was something MST3K made up? Either way, Brian's coolness never ends. MST3K references (even unintended ones) are the bomb.

I should imagine that the origins of formulae like that have dissolved into time immemorial, but I can recall one specific instance of it being used quite some time ago.
The television programme in question was called Tooty Turtle, and involved the misadventures of the eponymous anthropomorphised creature and an olive-green bipedal wizard of indeterminate species. Every episode involved the deluded Tooty demanding that the wizard (who enjoyed the title "Professor", for some peculiar reason) conjure up for him a fantasy realm in which he could play out his latest obsession. Invariably, Tooty's otherworldly adventures would lead to him becoming rather catastrophically unstuck, and the Professor-wizard would thus pluck him out back to reality to castigate him on the vices of permitting yourself to be distracted by play, fancy, and fun.
The professor's reclamation spell would be effected by the incantation "Twinkle, Winkle, Blinkle, Ho, Time for this boy to come home." or something very similar.
Anyway, Brian, be sure to keep up the good work!
