_Aliens Blues Brothers A Few Good Men Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Caddyshack Scarface Goodfellas The Jerk_ I’m sure there are more. There was a time (unemployed/underemployed) when most of my day was spent watching and rewatching movies. The balance of the day was spent working movie dialogue into every conceiveable situation I found myself. ---

Wow, not only am I not the first to say **Wayne’s World** , I’m not even the SECOND. OK, **Antigen** and **Queen of Town** , fill in the blanks: (1) Even for our customers in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ we’ll be there right on time (2) OK, that’s all the time we have for our film. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Garth? One that I used to know but now may have mixed up: (3) How many times does Garth hit the moving hand in the basement? How many times does he say “Ree ree ree ree” when he’s stabbing Mr. Donut-Head Man? And, this one is super tough: (4) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and down to the dish in the back of Mr Bigg’s Limo! It’s almost too easy. ---

Dirty Dancing - “Nobody puts Baby in a corner!” Rocky Horror Picture Show - “It’s just a jump to the left” Jaws - “Show me the way to go home” The Color Purple - “Till you do right by me, everything you even think about gonna’ fail.” Lots more - but I should go do some work… 😃 ---

I guess I pretty much knew every movement and quote from led Zeppelin’s **The Song Remains the Same** and Pink Floyd’s **The Wall** when I was a boy. How did it not dawn on my parents I was using drugs. Stupid old people. ---
