Sure.
When you say retarded things people are going to remind you of the retarded things you said. :mad:
“Retarded…” you come up with the most creative boorish things to say; kind of like pulling rabbits out of a hat or chocolates from Forrest Gump ’ s candy box.:rolleyes:
Forest Gump did not pull rabbits out of his chocolate box. Did you even see the movie? :mad:
From beginning to end. And you know better than to ask such a silly question. You know damn well he was talking about the chocolates: “You never know what you’re gonna get.”
things just woosh by you all the time.
Lighten up -
Just mind the chocolate raisins.
Clue for dougie: “pulling rabbits out of [del]a hat or[/del] chocolates from Forrest Gump ’ s candy box.”
Golly… I didn’t know THEY were in the box.
Neat trick of the week! ![]()
As an utterly pointless aside: Anyone else really hate that quote? For plenty of boxes of chocolate – for example, the Whitman sampler – they have a guide on the lid, so you know exactly what you’re gonna get.
For all I can recall, Forrest said that line in the movie, once. And he never had a chance to read the Straight Dope books, so he had no way of knowing the “code.” ![]()
If you “never know what you’re gonna get” then one has to assume that sometimes you might get rabbits.
or raisins.
Does it count if I just really hate the entire movie?
Because it is about a simpleton who just lucks into good fortune because he is just a naturally nice guy? And as such encourages real-life simpletons to take on things well beyond their abilites? Who then get all self-righteous when they fail?
Now THAT would be a surprise ! :eek:
Good point, Doc. Nobody should look at Mr. Gump as a role model!:rolleyes:
He’s enjoying the attention, if I may offer a shocking insight.
