A Vacation From My Problems (A Sept. 2010 Trip Report) - COMPLETED 12/14

[marvali]

Aw, Marv...you had a quote staring you right in the face here.

I said up front I suck at this movie quote thing! I find ones that don't exist, and miss the ones right in front of my eyes.......

Julie certainly gives as good as she gets. It's fun! Most of the time.

 

[MissLiz]

I'm not dead yet --Monty Python and the Holy Grail (but I think that movie has been used before)

 

[glennbo123]

I should have named this TR "Mr. Oblivious' Wild Ride".

A "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" reference?

 

[afwdwfan]

A "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" reference?

And Mr. Toad refers to the Wind in the Willows.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Yeah, but that seemed like work. No WAY I'm doing that this close to my trip.

I moved it over there. We'll see if it's ultimately adopted. And I hope you have a great trip!

I'm not dead yet --Monty Python and the Holy Grail (but I think that movie has been used before)

+1

The movie has been quoted, but not that line!

A "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" reference?

And Mr. Toad refers to the Wind in the Willows.

Now we're really pushing it.

I already quoted Goodfellas recently. The line in the chapter that nobody has found yet also comes from a movie that featured Joe Pesci (although he didn't deliver this particular line).

All.

Caught.

Up.



And I only used the links, so I was sorely tempted to quote as many movie quotes as I could find since I hadn't seen any of them in what I'm sure was ridiculously witty banter.

But I didn't.

Because I was lazy.

Or my lunch was up.

Either. Or both.

LOVED the Bevery submissions. I've had a few of my own "slogans" for that drink for a long time. Though not point-worthy, I shall share them here.

Because really, how are you going to stop me? MUAHAHAHA.

::ahem::

Beverly: Better than throwing up in your mouth. Mostly.
Beverly: Bet you can't spit just once.
Give me Beverly or give me death...nah...just give me the death.

Looking forward to more now that I'm back on board.

 

[that's nice]

Very interesting how Mrs. Knowitall just arrived here but she is at the top of the people with one point........

 

[marvali]

+1

The movie has been quoted, but not that line!

Oh that stinks! I saw that one,

 

[MissLiz]

Yay! I'm not at 3 anymore! WooHOO!

Is it wrong that I went back to the chapter to look for "AAAAH!" from Home Alone when you said it was a Joe Pesci movie?

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Glad to have you back! I hope you've vanquished whatever demons kept you away from the boards. Gotta have priorities, you know.

Anyway, nice job on the Beverly slogans! I like the first one so much, I'm gonna give you a point even though the contest is over. Because I'm just that cool.

Are you implying that I'm somehow giving her preferential treatment? Hmm? If so, you're absolutely right.

Oh that stinks! I saw that one

Just shout them out! Just because I say no at times, that's the worst I can do. Remember, this contest is completely subject to my whims. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

You picked up a couple of bonus points in the Beverly contest, too.

And yes, that is very, very wrong. Which is not a bad thing.

Thankfully. If you took points away for wrong guesses, made up quotes, or non-quotes I'd probably have negative points by now.

I won't even end this post by typing the name of every Joe Pesci movie I can think of, which was my intent when I started typing. I've actually got a couple of lines that I think could be the quote and a few movies they could come from, but I'm not confident enough to guess. Don't want to put the wrong quote with the wrong movie and let somebody correct it and get credit...

Oh, I'm not that cruel. At least, not all the time.

Joe Pesci was not the biggest star in this movie... he was a supporting character. The actor who uttered the line in question is a fairly well-known actor as well.

Thanks for the clue, but that really doesn't narrow it down anymore than what I was already thinking. Unfortunately, I don't have time to sit down and watch about 3 or 4 movies tonight when I get home.

I'm suspecting a Lethal Weapon Movie...but can't find the quote.

That's what I was thinking too.

 

[Flossbolna]

Oh, I got one point!!! I can't remember when I earned it, but I am sure you have not made any mistakes!!

And Hi to Mrs Knowitall (love your screen name!!), great to meet you in writing!

 

[Must C Mickey]

Oh Oh Can I please make a guess as to where you got that TR title "What About Bob"... one of my all-time fav movies to quote and the sole reason I clicked on this TR!!! "A vacation from my problems" LOVE IT and the quotes game, I'm on board.

Also, sounds like you are from the Wilmington, DE area. I visit there, Dover and Dewey Beach a couple of times a yr. My best friend lives there... I love me some Capriotti's!!! You familiar w/ the place?

 

[Mrs. Knowitall]

I love me some Capriotti's!!! You familiar w/ the place?

Familiar? They only have the BEST SUBS EVER!!

Hmmm....now I'm hungry.....

And Hi to Mrs Knowitall (love your screen name!!), great to meet you in writing!

Nice to meet you too! (And everyone else who welcomed me!)
+10 to everyone who has welcomed me!

Oh, and while I appreciate all the...flattery.....the +5 is for photo compliments....like the HS night shot, etc.... Nice try though.....ya know...I'll give you +2 anyway!

And since I have to keep track of the Captain - you all are going to have to keep track of your own points. But don't try to pull a fast one....

Very interesting how Mrs. Knowitall just arrived here but she is at the top of the people with one point........

That's right!

 

[Mrs. Knowitall]

Give this a look-see.

Done and done. Pretty spiffy of me, huh? +5 to me for figuring it out!

First of all Welcome Mrs. Knowitall!

Hopefully you can explain to Mr. Oblivious that the center of the sports world does not revolve around Philly. (we all know its Chicago).

Thanks for the welcome middlepat! (You get points for that.....see previous post!) But I do need to side with my hubby. Sorry.

Julie certainly gives as good as she gets. It's fun! Most of the time.

When is it not fun? Name one time!

I should have named this TR "Mr. Oblivious' Wild Ride".

That's a start!

Still wondering about that "Knowitall" tag...

Yeah, yeah....tell me what size shoes the kids wear and what their favorite lunch is......then we'll talk!
