We saw the RiffTraxs version of Sharknado. There’s a scene in which a minor character (someone who hung around the bar) gets eaten by a shark. I was very disappointed when the RiffTrax people did not come up with the obvious line: “So long, chum!”. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > Miranda’s “tangent” is based on her perception of Andrea’s reactions, where it’s clear she finds the discussion trivial. Miranda shows how it isn’t, that the decisions she makes affects what’s available to consumers. As far as I can tell, Andrea only found it trivial in the sense of genuinely not caring whether Item A or Item B got picked; she’s indifferent because she feels it makes no difference to her; her response to either would be “exactly the same.” Miranda replies that Andrea’s sweater isn’t turquoise or lapis, but cerulean, and… …isn’t Andrea’s point _sure, but I genuinely don’t care whether it’s turquoise or lapis or cerulean; it would’ve been just as trivial to me, in the sense of making no difference to me, had that clearance bin contained turquoise ones; my response would’ve been exactly the same. Look, call the sweater I’m wearing Item C, and call a lapis one Item D; if your speech was provoked by me finding it trivial to have the Item-A-or-Item-B discussion about belts, then what happens if we swap in Item C and Item D? I was indifferent as to which belts will be available; if I was exactly as indifferent about which sweaters were available, then isn’t my position unchanged?_ ---

> [@mixdenny](#): > > Was this correct? I always remember Ann Lander’s quote on the subject. “The left ear is the right ear, the right ear is the wrong ear. Both ears - it’s a girl” Actually I don’t remember. I could be wrong. Let’s just say that’s such an 80s piece of silliness. ---

I do remember being told back in the '80s, that the left side is the straight side. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/good-comebacks-that-you-thought-of-to-snarky-lines-in-movies/853707.md?page=3)
