HA!

My sister ALWAYS challenges me to have one conversation without peppering it with movie/tv/cartoon/song quote time after time...

When your lost, you can look, and you will find me...

time.
after.
time.

SEE!?

terrible.

You know what? You are really good at blogging.

I'm not kidding. This is great stuff.

Oft quoted in my house - CLUE:
"Let us in! Let us in!"
"Let us out! Let us out!"

"That'll do, pig."

I say that a lot. It's probably screwed up that I say it a lot. But I do.

Also, a day without quoting Casablanca is a day without sunshine.

"I was misinformed."
"I'm shocked, shocked..."

"Here's looking at you kid."

And need I mention:

"I fart in your general direction"

"Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time"

"Bring me a shrubbery."

I have the song quoting disease too. What is even worse is when you quote things like obscure show tunes or jazz tunes or unpublished lyrics by Ira Gershwin or Johnny Mercer... then even the people who might know what you're quoting don't end up knowing what you're quoting...
forgot about Mr. Mom:

"220, 221, whatever it takes..."
and
"we were never IN aisle 9, ed"

my brother also only speaks to me in quotes, which is difficult because half the time i have no idea what he is referring to.

"Roll, roll, roll in zeh hay."

"He. Vas. My. BOYFRIEND."

"Could be worse... Could be raining."

"Sed-a-GIVE?!!"

"What hump?"

"Put. the candle. back."

(and my favorite, though I tend to paraphrase):

"Let me out. let me out of here. get me the hell out of here. What's the matter with you people? I was joking! Don't you know a joke when you hear one? HA-HA-HA-HA. Jesus Christ, get me out of here! Open this goddamn door or I'll kick your rotten heads in! MOMMY!"

Of course, in my 'household'... well, I live alone. And I crack myself up.

Young Frankenstein, When Harry Met Sally ("Baby fish mouth!"), and the Mad Men pilot ("I'm sure it vill be a qvick one.") were honorable mentions.

Ohmigod, I forgot about Young Frankenstein. I say "Put the candle back" at least once a week.

Also "BOIDS. Filthy, disgusting, lice-ridden BOIDS."

just about every time I turn a sharp corner in my car it's Jurassic Parks: "Hold Onto your Butts" Which honestly, i thought used to mean, butt(ocks) but have since learned may also mean cigarette butts... (Cause SamJax is smokin in the scene.) The Sandlot's 'for-EV-er'. is a common occurance. I can't think of any more right NOW, but, they're there.

I watch all 3 as often as possible. Thank goodness for Comedy Central! - Ok. to add to the list. I can't recall a day I haven't gone to "Heathers" or "Aliens", depending on my mood. "Game over, man! Game over" is how I report defects/bugs at work when coding fails. And good code gets "Our love is God. Let's go get a Slushie." - Nerd + Ridunkulous Ability to Retain Pop Culture = "I use my grand IQ to decide what color lip gloss to wear in the morning and how to hit three keggers before curfew" (translation: dude, I'm such a geek). -Thanks as always for the entertainment. :)

In our house, I don't quote songs, I sing songs, it's practically unconscious, if I hear a phrase that is a song lyric, I can't stop myself from singing it. It's also

"I would not say Such THINGS IF I WERE YOU!"

- Methinks this should be an ongoing list...

I have friends how actually hate me for doing the same thing - I just start singing whatever is playing over muzak, on some radio, an ad jingle - a hummed note, yup, I just Start SING-ING!!! (note the forrest gump referenece?)

Where would our sad, pathetic lives be without movies? Probably working as an accountant somewhere.
I also say "You know what they say; big feet, enormous....shoes" quite often.
