Thanks, I’ll definitely look into seeing some more Cleavon stuff. Shag was my favorite movie for several years when I was a teen, to any girl who has lived on the wrong side of the tracks in the south, this one is hilarious on several levels- Pudge–Mary Pat Montgomery’s the one who told me about boners. It isn’t a bone at all, it’s a muscle. This cousin of hers dated a Clemson Tiger who sprained his in a game, and she had to massage it every night when it got hard because he was in so much pain. ---

I quote lines all the time, to good effect. Most of the time, people don’t catch the reference, but they get the joke. Just yesterday, at my new job, 3 of us went out for a pizza lunch. The place has a $5 lunch special and it isn’t uncommon for one person to pick up the tab - so I volunteered to do so. Me: “Here, I’ll pay.” Boss: “You sure? You just started.” Me: “Usually I’m mild-mannered JohnT, but today I’m Payday Man - and $15 worth of pizza holds no challenge for Payday Man.” They cracked up, and I’m pretty sure none of them are/were _Buffy_ watchers. ---

This is my favourite Kang and Kodos moment, and I do blurt it out with alarming frequency when public impropriety is referenced: George: Uh, Mr. President, Sir. People are becoming a bit… confused by the way your and your opponent are, well, constantly holding hands. Kang: We are merely exchanging long protein strings. If you can think of a simpler way, I’d like to hear it. ---

If you have not watched _Galaxy Quest_, then I recommend it. It’s a satirical take on the _Star Trek_ phenomenon that is warm, witty, and (in my opinion) fall-down funny. The basic plot, without spoilers: The cast of long-canceled and beloved TV show “Galaxy Quest” is abducted by aliens who have been watching the television broadcasts from space. Unfortunately, the aliens don’t understand the human concept of _lying_, and they think they’ve captured the _real crew_… With Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shaloub, and Alan Rickman (“by Grabthar’s Hammer … … what a savings”). ---

Gotta pull out another Simpsons scene. [This one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5fd3pTM4sU) absolutely slays me to this day. Episode - the one where Homer is an astronaut. Scene: At a press conference, a reporter asks if NASA doesn’t think there’s a danger in sending untrained and unqualified civilians into space. Homer: “I’ll handle this one. There won’t be any problems, unless they send us to that terrible Planet of the Apes. Wait a minute…Statue of Liberty…that was our planet! You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!” \*falls to ground sobbing as Barney passes out and collapses in the background. ---

“Laser envy” - _Toy story_ > [@JohnT](#): > > One that my wife and I throw at each other is another Kang/Kodos line.. “Run!
