I doubt it, 'cuz I can show prior art using that quote as early as Jan 30,
1992.  If that quote is in TS (and I dont recall it from there) then
Disney is the one who ripped it off.

It's in the same aisle as the muffler bearings, right between the
disgronifier valves and the checkered spray paint.

Maybe these guys stock wire stretchers too: http://www.kalecoauto.com/
I think I'll order some of their cross-drilled brake lines, guaranteed to
reduce pedal pressure.

The trunk of the car looked like a mobile police narcotics lab. We had two 
bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of highpowered 
blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of 
multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of
tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two
dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that stuff, but when you get locked into 
a serious drug collection the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
