Operation Big Thunder: the Dole Whip Conspiracy COMPLETE

[Captain_Oblivious]

I promise with everything I have I did not skim; at my age, I just forget what I read two minutes ago.

Now that I believe, mostly because I have the same problem!

"excellent driver" is a Rainman reference

+1

Galaxy Quest.

That's a GREAT movie! We own that one, and it's a go-to movie for long drives.

+1

Galaxy Quest is still unappreciated, I think. I remember thinking it was really funny. Loved Sam Rockwell as the redshirt guy.

Just don’t see a Bill Murray reference (Which means I’m going to be mad at myself when it shows up).

Not sure if I should give any more hints or just reveal it when I count up the points.

Exhibit A: http://www.dyersonbeale.com/

Looks like I have a new road trip stop in Memphis!

Well… not being your nemesis I guess that all I can say is:

What are friends for?

I expect nothing less.

Like I said…
What are friends for?

Feel free to deface my TR as the mood strikes you.

Well, I believe I've done so in the past.

If you had said:

“They’re digging in the wrong place.”

We’d have been looking at a Raiders of the Lost Ark quote.
Don’t think that one’s going to get past the rules committee though.

Actually, that's what I was going for. Just had to modify one word to fit the context.

+1

Basically, this contest amounts to, "Can I guess what Mark was thinking about at the time?"

That however is a quote:

A-Team

+1

Wasn’t planning to go after the parking issues anyway.

This chapter is a tough one as I really don’t have a good reason for picking any element as untrue
(other then that you only bought one hand grenade but I suspect that the plural usage in the opening paragraph was really unintentional).

I’ll say that Julie had something other then the Moultrie burger, and that’s only because we got a picture of your plate but not hers.

(The only other possibility would be the ride home was eventful and we just haven’t heard the story yet)

You're the first one who has brought up the menu choices. Her burger was not documented with a photo, but if you're a veteran of my TR's, you know that I'm not real faithful with the food porn pictures. Mostly because my hands are usually too full of food to bother with pictures.

So certain are you. Always with you what cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?

Glenn must be getting insta email on your updates, it's a bit scary how fast he is on the draw here. Oh well, another day, another Yoda.

And no, not sure, no more quotes that jumped out at me at least. Doesn't meet they aren't there. A master of the obvious I am not.

This is where not having read previous TR's might hurt you. Road Food has found us many quality food stops along the way. It totally beats McDonalds! Ok, that's not saying much. But still


It was dinner, actually, but it was great. Aand i ppprommissse. Noo beerrrsh.

Kind of figured but hey, nothing else jumped out at me. You really didn't leave your car up on the curb like that.

My fault. I said lunch. Or assumed lunch. Or skimmed.

Or associate burgers with lunch.

Any of the above are potentially true.

None in fact excuse what might amount to skimming.

I'm starting to think Glenn and Rob have installed spyware on my computer.

And no, not sure, no more quotes that jumped out at me at least. Doesn't meet they aren't there. A master of the obvious I am not.

Here's a big hint for the last remaining reference. Bill Murray's next line is, "This corn is scrumptious. Is it hand-shucked?"

Kind of figured but hey, nothing else jumped out at me. You really didn't leave your car up on the curb like that.

Sure I did. I'm very, very lazy.

I was actually trying to get Kathy because she busted me one time. But this works, too.

See?

Now I have to be careful when I talk to you, or everyone will think it's another movie quote.

Well, I would hope so.

Oh… and good morning Mark!

Great report do far Mark. I'm quoting rob here to give myself a bookmark to go back to and continue tomorrow.

What about Bob

Sure I did. I'm very, very lazy.

Well and it wasn't all that far up on the curb. Which was low.

The lie is what was in Julie's burger. That isn't what she had.

All part of my plot to take over the tri-state area…


BWWWW-HAAAA-HAAAA-HAAAAA!!!!!!

Here's a big hint for the last remaining reference. Bill Murray's next line is, "This corn is scrumptious. Is it hand-shucked?"

Ohhhhhhhh… This line From “What about Bob”:

“Mmmm...mmmm...mmmm....mmmm....mmmm....mmmmm...

Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mmmm!”

But “eandesmom” got to the movie title first and deserves the point.

Thanks, Brian. Let me know if you want to purchase the audio version (read by Gilbert Gottfried).

ooh, VERY possible!

I wouldn't put it past them.

What about Bob

There it is! +1

The lie is what was in Julie's burger. That isn't what she had.

Jumping on that bandwagon now, huh? She doesn't seem like a jalapeno kind of woman to you?

I love it, Julie.

Isn't she fun?

I bet you do

She's always had a good BS detector.

All part of my plot to take over the tri-state area…

I've always wondered--which 3 states, exactly?

There you go. Now the quotes have been spoken for.

You gotta have a little bit of fun, right? All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

 

[afwdwfan]

She's always had a good BS detector.

I'm sure it helps that she has you there to keep it well calibrated.

Dear Lord!
Now I’ve got that paring stuck in my head…

And I’m not even your nemesis.
Thanks much.

She's always had a good BS detector.

Yet she married you any way…

Sounds a lot like my Lovley.
She keeps me around for absolutely no good reason at all.


(and to think, she won't even get around to reading that one)

You're welcome for the earworm.

I still don't know what Julie was thinking when she said yes, but hey, everyone has a bad day or two.
