Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like........victory.

reply

I also will add that although it's not exactly polite, "F@#k me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Teresa?" is probably one of my favourite movie lines.

reply

I don’t think any man could resist that invitation!

But how about a pile-driver instead of a chainsaw?

reply

I would respond with
"Our love is God, let's go get a slushie."

reply

😂

reply

such a quotable movie! just about every other line is an immortal zinger.

“dear diary, my teen angst has a body count”

reply

It's still one of my favourties.

reply

me too!

reply

Young Frankenstein (1974) - "What knockers!" & "Damn your eyes!"

reply

Ghostbusters (1984) - "We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass!"

reply

W.C. Fields - "Yes, madam, I am drunk. But tomorrow I shall be sober. And you will STILL be ugly."

reply

Actually, that was Sir Winston Churchill. Who, admittedly, had a lot in common with Uncle Bill.

reply

Okay.
Yeah I understand Sir Winston was a heavy heavy drinker. I read an article saying that he drank literally everyday, all day using several ways to imbibe. The same article went on to say that he was likely self-medicating tho I can't recall what the problem was.
So... anything else I got wrong?
I know that might sound snarky but it's actually cool because I'm learning something I won't get wrong again and mislead someone.

reply

You didn’t mislead anyone, at least not deliberately. I am much older than you are, so I have more experience to draw on. Fields also drank daily, but he could not tolerate a person who could not hold his/her liquor. He also owned the world’s largest private theological library, although he was an atheist! He was a VERY interesting man! Everyone in Hollywood called him Uncle Bill. When Fields was near death, one of his famous friends came to call on him. He caught Fields reading The Bible. “Why, Uncle Bill,” the friend teased, “I didn’t think you believed in that. “I don’t,” Fields growled. “I’m lookin’ for loopholes!”

reply

So you must be in your 70s?
I've definitely been around maybe we'll share horror stories some day.

reply

I am a very young 104.

reply

104?
Come on now. I'll be a very old 55 next month. It's been anything but boring, but, man, I think maybe I could have done with a bit less excitement. My body might be somewhat more pleased with me.

reply

Pretty damn sharp yourself at 104!
I think you might be pulling my leg.

reply

Loopholes... now that's sharp lol!
I'm with W.C. - if you can't handle your drink, you shouldn't be drinking. It's unfortunate and frequently tragic that this simple truth is ignored by people who then go on to harm themselves and others.
It sounds like he was particularly interested in other's beliefs in a deity that didn't interest him personally. Do you suppose he was looking for something besides loopholes? 😐

reply

Self medicating because of depression. He called it The Black Dog.

reply

A high functioning mental case, right?
The most brilliant are often the most troubled.

reply

Amen

reply

Maybe that's why I'm a bit of an ass, do you think? I'm not much of a drinker anymore, so I suppose either I'm flattering myself or I've gotten dumber!
That's a scary thought...

reply

He was also a prom night dumpster baby.

reply

Damn. You are evil, girl. I had no idea.

I’d like to meet you, Laura. What do you think?

reply

You want to see the face of evil?

reply

That's intimidating.

reply

Evil has more than 1 face. I’ve seen a few of them.

reply

“Groovy” - Ash, Evil Dead 2

“Good? Bad? I’m the guy with the gun.” - Ash, Army of Darkness

reply

You can pretty much put the entire dialogue from Army of Darkness in this category.

reply

Agreed!

reply
