For the benefit of those rare Dopers who have yet to visit the Gardens of Valhalla, I give you [The rock in the box: I burning your dog](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=203185) which should clear up any confusion about the none-too-subtle references to this masterpiece.

That said, I stand in awe of the efforts being made here!

Strangely, the OP reminds me of a third movie, _Billy Madison_.

I dunno; maybe I’m starting to get his rhythms, but the OP made a lot of sense to me. I think I better go lie down.

No no no!. I mean, I knew not to get into any beach volleyball games, and I knew that all Navy pilots were like, gay. But I didn’t get that Kelly McGillis was.

I figured all I had to do was be “troubled” enough and someone like her would be put in my case, and by case I mean penis.

Even at 13 I was pretty sure you’d get in trouble for standing around mournfully (to wit, uselessly) on the deck of carrier and pitching shit off it.

Are these the fakest movies ever made or is this just a sample review? I am watching Rocky III as we speak and my fakeness meter is cranked up like a $10 ho on $100 worth of crack. Ain’t no way a short Italian man is going to beat Mr. T but they found a way out. What kind of shit is that? If you want to see something more fake than a 3 carat cubic zirconium from the discount rack at a pawn shop, you have to check out something written by and stared in by none other than the Italian Stallion himself.

I met Tom Cruise once. He was having lunch with Kevin Costner at a cafe in a small airport in Orange county. They were both very nice. Tom had the chicken salad.

No wait, I misspeak. Leonard Nimoy had the chicken salad.

He wasn’t on the deck was he? I thought he was on one of the lower levels.

Right. I think you can go and get all mopey on the deck if you want when there are no flight ops anyway.

Yeah, when I joined up (to meet the one woman on the base, like Boyo Jim), I thought I’d be flying dangerous missions.

But all I got to do was mope the deck.
