Leftover movie quotes

Here are the movie quotes that weren't guessed, with their answers listed.

4. I'll tell you EXACTLY what your life is worth. Your life is worth fifty thousand dollars, that's the price you put on it when you got behind this wheel!  Hooper

9. Now, you listen to me, Mr. Grand High Poobah of Upper Buttcrack, I'm just about half-past give a shit with your fun and games.  Delores Claiborne

11. Nothing I have been told about these people is correct. They are not thieves or beggars. They are not the bogeymen they are made out to be. On the contrary, they are polite guest and I enjoy their humor.  Dances with Wolves

12. The weather out there today is hot and shitty with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut.  Good Morning Vietnam

15. The dishes are DONE, man. Don't Tell Mom, The Babysitter's Dead

Storms are coming

We're supposed to have storms by morning.  Spring is here indeed.  I love a good storm, so I'm more than ready.  We set alarms on our cell phones in case we lose power before morning.

Tomorrow evening, I think I'll post the answers to the movie quotes that nobody got.  The rules didn't say what to do after a few days, and I don't like the post sitting there, half answered.  I'm weird that way.

We made chili and cornbread today, ate too much, napped during the Nascar race, and basically used as little energy as humanly possible.  I love it.  Next week at this time, we'll be at a friends house after watching the race at Texas Motor Speedway!  I cannot wait.  I'm even looking forward to the 10 hour drive down on Friday.

Grammy is going to come up and stay with the girls, so the pets will be taken care of as well.  We'll pack a cooler so we won't spend any money on food.  The fuel alone is going to hurt, but we've been planning this since November.

OK, time for bed.  I hope I can sleep.  That's the only downfall to taking a nap!  LOL  What  a problem to have.

Taco party, and lazy pets

Here are some pictures of our pets today.  They are all useless, but all loved.

Nala is a skittish little thing.  She is getting friendlier all the time, but is still skeptical around us.  We love her, and we're happy when she's happy...in a shoe box...wishing we would all leave her alone, and quit taking pictures.

Simba is more of a dog than a cat.  He is the coolest.  He will do anything for a treat, and he loves his owner (Natalie) dearly.  He sleeps with her most every night.

Hawkeye was a gift to Kevin, but has turned into my dog.  He loves the whole family, but I'm his person.  He is mostly Australian Shepherd, so he "herds" us regularly.  If we are scattered through the house, he paces until we're all in the same room, then he collapses.  It's hard work, keeping a family all in the same room!

The aquarium holds some of my favorite pets, but they are more neglected than the rest.  They don't bark, meow, pace, or whine.  Therfore, they live in a tank that needs cleaned most of the time.  Today, we cleaned my aquarium, and the sharks are SO happy.

Yes, we have sharks.  They are docile, fresh water sharks.  We have three of them, and they are all different sizes.  They are way-cool to watch, and the plecostomus that lives with them is twice the size of the largest shark, yet demands much less.

Yeah, we have cool pets.  I love my pets.  I could live without the hair, algea, litter boxes and pet food, but I can live WITH those things, too.  All for the thrill that comes from watching these amazing creatures.  Maybe I should get a ferret?  Or a bird?  Or an Emu? 

Probably not.

The taco party at Mom's was awesome!  Pat and Charlene are doing quite well, and we had a great visit.  My bad week had a good ending.  Thanks, Mom.

He's BAAACK!

Kevin has started the Angry Dad blog again!  He had it for a while, but felt he didn't update enough, so he deleted it.  Russ told him a long time ago that he needed to get it going again, and I agreed.

Last night, I was playing the movie meme game, and that is RIGHT up Kevin's alley.  He was getting antsy and making suggestions and such.  I casually mentioned that he should start a blog again...and he soon disappeared into the computer room.  LOL.

He started off with his own installment of the movie meme.  Warning, though: Kevin has some obscure movies listed among his favorites.  Good luck to you.  I can only guess a few, and they're the easy ones, so I'm not taking them yet.

Time to go clean my house.  I've got a taco party to attend at Mom's tonight.  Pat and Charlene are coming, too!  WoooHooo!

P-A-R-T-Y at my folks house!

A Meme from my Mom

Here are the rules of the meme:

* Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
* Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
* Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
* Fill in the film title once it’s been guessed.

These are the rules, people!

* Leave guesses in the comments.
* No Googling or using IMDB search functions. Don’t cheat!
* Know-it-alls, limit your guesses to three movies. Save some for others!

2. Oh. Johnny, I apologize; I forgot you were there. You may go now.  Tombstone (lanurseprn)

3. Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (toonguykc)

4. I'll tell you EXACTLY what your life is worth. Your life is worth fifty thousand dollars, that's the price you put on it when you got behind this wheel!

5. Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.  The Breakfast Club (rusrhi)

6. Give me a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it quick, I'm in a god-damn hurry. Smokey and the Bandit (WTG Dad!)

7. Well look, I like the Christmas Jesus best, and I'm sayin grace. When you say grace, you can say it to grown up Jesus, or teenage Jesus, or bearded Jesus, or whoever you want. Talladega Nights (deshelestraci)

8. I'll never let go, Jack. I promise.  Titanic (lanurseprn)

9. Now, you listen to me, Mr. Grand High Poobah of Upper Buttcrack, I'm just about half-past give a shit with your fun and games.

10. Life's not fair, is it? You see, I... well, I shall never be king. And you... shall never see the light of another day. Adieu.  The Lion King (amy122389)

11. Nothing I have been told about these people is correct. They are not thieves or beggars. They are not the bogeymen they are made out to be. On the contrary, they are polite guest and I enjoy their humor.

12. The weather out there today is hot and shitty with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut.

13. The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh joy! Rapture!  The Wizard of Oz (lanurseprn)

14. Forty years I been asking permission to piss. I can't squeeze a drop without say-so.  Shawshank Redemption (good job, Mom! err, I mean mosie1944)

15. The dishes are DONE, man.

Georgia trip, Day 2

Here it is, day two.  Most of the day was spent working, but it was 80 and sunny, so I won't complain.  Plus, this is the coolest couple that I've ever met.  Anyway, here's your mindless drivle.  I must go watch Celebrity Apprentice, now.  Go Trace!

Home again

I'm home, I'm safe, and I'm exhausted.  I have day-2 pictures, but those will be posted tomorrow.  No pictures from the island, though, since dumbass forgot her camera.  *sigh*

It was a successful trip, and all is well.  Now, I'm going to bed.  Goodnight, friends.
