Mark L. Levinson reports: <<FWIW the original "steenkin budges" line is
actually from novelist B. Traven (_The Treasure of the Sierra Madre_) by way
of screenwriter & director John Huston.>>

Right you are, with "budges" being a mispronunciation of "badges"--though a
Monty Python fan might enjoy changing that to "steenkin budgies" (with a tip
of a soiled hat to Mrs. Premise). Oops! Thanks for the correction.
