This post is in direct response to > **[One sentence summaries that miss the point -- The Game](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=511067)** > > Although I didn’t contribute to the zombie portion of One sentence summaries that miss the point which was started 03-16-2003, 03:15 AM by 3trew and which has run for 5 pages up through 03-14-2009 02:48 PM (by The Tofu Kitty) with 236 Replies and... I fear that, the original purpose of that thread has taken a wrong turn somewhere. That being said, this then is a sister thread to it. Rules are simple: Pick the most absurd quote from a movie you can think of. The reason for this is two fold. The obvious “fun” factor, and a gentle nudge away from what the answer “should” be. Post that Quote (Verbatim, if possible). Have other people come in and guess / answer what movie the quote belongs to. Confirm answers, and play along with other posts. * * * 1. “Perogies! Cheese and Potato!” [The film is a cult classic, but is not, (in general) that well known.] ---

Edit: \*\*Jack \*\*got it. I tried to do an easy, medium, hard, and really hard. Sadly(or wonderfully) these probably aren’t even the movies’ most absurd quotes. 1. What could be stranger than a big fatass floatin’ cupcake? 2. Now this top line translates into, “Pharoah gobbles donkey goobers,” and the bottom line, “Cleopatra does the nasty.” 3. Let me know if you see a Radio Shack. 4. Wait, are you singing mixolydian scales or something? ---

**Jack Batty** and **Mahaloth** , you both are spot on. Well played. Still up… 1. What could be stranger than a big fatass floatin’ cupcake? 2. Let me know if you see a Radio Shack. ---
