Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don’t get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony’s not really a, a high priority. We haven’t had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at. ---

I had an idea that I think would add a little fun to this thread. When you see a quote and know off the top of your head what movie it’s from, then you would type the name of the movie before adding your next quote. No cheating allowed. If you don’t know what movie it’s from, then just add your next quote. Whatd’ya think? ---

Sounds like fun. It might be a good idea to put the movie title in bold or italics, just to keep it separate from the “in play” quote. ---

I’m interested in doing a weekly dramatic series based on the Ecumenical Liberation Army. The way I see the series is: Each week we open with an authentic act of political terrorism taken on the spot, in the actual moment. Then we go to the drama behind the opening film footage. That’s your job, Ms. Hobbs. You’ve got to get the Ecumenicals to bring in that film footage for us. The network can’t deal with them directly; they are, after all, wanted criminals. ---

You are correct **want2befree**! _Titanic_(1997) The fall alone would kill you. _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_ (1969) The fall will probably kill ya! ---
