Runing gag with a close group of friends at work is that whenever some busy body tries to listen in to our conversations, one of us will say in a loud voice "So I says to him, I said "Get your own monkey!" and everyone laughs. You should see the looks on their faces as they try to figure out what the hell we're talking about.
In the summertime, I frequently use that line about having "air conditioning in here like mother nature intended." It always gets a laugh, and nobody seems to realize I didn't make it up.
Eddie kills me in this movie. Also the scenes where the blackjack dealer is killing Clark. I like how he says "why don't you just give me half your chips now and we'll go out back and I'll kick you in the nuts". That's how I feel in Vegas all the time. lol I just look at the dealer and expect them to yell "Twenty!"
We just got back from Vegas, so while I was there, I bought Vegas Vacation!!
But my favorite quote is from Chrismas Vacation. When Clark is at the lingerie counter, he says, 'it's a little 'nipply' in here. Haha I use that alot.
cobram - I love your #2, as I too have called someone in our group Mr. Papagorgio to signify getting away with something, no matter how small or trivial it might be. Your use of the line getting your cousin into that club was perfect!
I've given people directions before , and if there is an elevator involved I say "Don't use those elevators, they are not yours.......stay away from those!" Just like when they were receiving instructions on how to get to their room.
Or "I want to play blackjack. Not craps, not baccarat, blackjack."
A few years ago I was playing blackjack at Harrah's in Vegas. There was a nice looking young guy about 22 playing but he was busy talking and laughing (flirting) with the two hot young ladies next to him (he didn't know them).
During one hand it was his turn but he was too busy talking to play. The dealer (a guy about 32) said, "OK, Papagorgio, it's your turn".
No one caught it but me and I busted out laughing. The dealer gave me a wink and we both had a good laugh.
i enjoy, "corrective lenses tonight Mr. Poppogorgio?" (or however it was spelled). "no, i do not require them" - i always laugh when somebody catches on and gives the right response. __________________________ "I don't make monkeys, I just train 'em" - Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
amber says: "I'll turn to my husband and whisper, "Born to be alive."
LOL - you whisper it? Girl, you should be singing it aloud on that short bus to get others in the Vegas spirit. They would love it. Your husband would love it. the driver would REALLY love it!! Why, if I was on that short bus with you, I'd get a kick out of you saying out loud, "Born to be alive!" All the Vegas Vacation fans would totally get it, and it would make us play those one armed bandits and double down at those tables!!!!!!!!!! VEGAS !!!!!!!!!!!!
A 12-year old Benjamin Linus just brought me a sandwich. How do you think I'm doing?
Anytime someone brags about going to Vegas I'll say "Why don't you give me half the money your were gonna to bet, then we'll go out back, I'll kick you in the nuts, and we'll call it a day!"
