I can't name the two bones in my forearm. (But I think one might be ulna.)
I can't tell you how many feet are in a mile.
I've never been able to remember the different types of clouds.
I can't recite anything after "Four score and..." in the Gettysburg Address, even though I've had to memorize it twice in my life.
I don't remember anything from any of my math classes. Ever.
But this week, we watched While You Were Sleeping for the first time in years. And for some reason, my brain has chosen to remember EVERY SINGLE LINE.
I'm confident that someday, somewhere, this once-useless information will be vitally important. Until then, I'll be waiting.
"John Wayne was tall."
"Dustin Hoffman is 5'6"."
"Would you want to see Dustin Hoffman save the Alamo?"
"These potatoes are so creamy."
"Spain has good beef."
"Mary mashed 'em."

I can't tell you how happy this post made me. I am glad to know I am not alone in my ability to quote this movie....I think my favorite is probably...
"hey yo Luc...Tomorrow night...8 oclock...icecapades...I know a guy"
And lastly...yes, you can't forget the whole "leaning" issue.
"Guy Lombardo wasn't Spanish"
"I didn't say Guy Lombardo was Spanish"
"Did he play the clarinet?"
And my favorite scene in the ENTIRE movie: When the paper boy face plants into the sidewalk. No joke. I rewind it and watch it several times over. (Much like the scene in Elf when he gets hit by the taxi...what is it with people getting hurt?!)
WHAT A GREAT MOVIE! and i'm sure that will come in handy some day... ;-)
Amanda, I think anything out of Joe Jr.'s mouth is special. I love "I had to eat yo ticket!"
Em, my brothers and I did the exact same thing. I can remember literally rolling on the floor laughing, as we rewound it over and over again.
Ahhh, you both have a special place in my heart. Thanks for making me laugh out loud.
my favorites:
"Do I like Jello"
and
Jack: You suck!
Peter: I suck, or the outfit sucks?
Jack: It's a toss-up.
LOVE that movie. I need to get me a copy. :)
Another favorite part ... falling on the ice ... how fun to have shot that scene? Or when she pulls the tree up to her apartment through the window? Gosh. So good.
sorry...I can't stop...this is my favorite movie..two more..in honor of Joe Jr.
Doesn't anybody use a phone anymore?
I do.
I'm not talking about 900 numbers.
Who told?
O.K., Lucy, it's either me or him!
Lucy: Him.
Joe Jr.: You don't have to answer right away.
