On Friday I will officially enter my 4th decade of life.  there are no words for how much this depresses me, so on a happier note... have a movie meme:

List quotes of your choosing from your twenty favourite movies. People must try and identify the movies in the comments. See what percentage of your Friend List is cool, and what percentage is squarer than a mirror.

Fox Notes: I am horrible at picking favorite ANYTHINGS so I dunno that I would say these are my 20 absolute favorite movies, but they are 20 movies that I like a lot. 

Um... person to get the most of these without resorting to google, IMDB, et al gets a limerick penned by me, just for them.


1. Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.

2. You're familiar with the phrase "man's reach exceeds his grasp"? It's a lie: man's grasp exceeds his nerve.

3. SHAKESPEARE! *shaking book at critic* This is unabridged buddy!

4.  I'm not dancing with you, all right? I'm not dancing with you 'til you dance like you're supposed to!

5. It's not marriage! It's an informal arrangement where she humiliates me in public and makes my life difficult, and in return I let her live in my home.

6. Sir!... Sir!... Here's a good stick, to beat the lovely lady.

7. I miss the peace of fishing like when I was a boy. Forty years I've been at sea. A war at sea. A war with no battles, no monuments... only casualties. I widowed her the day I married her. My wife died while I was at sea, you know.

8. That's right. When I was your age, television was called books.

9. Not everyone can have your passion for dead leaves.

10. No, no. It's not schizophrenia. It's just a voice in my head. I mean, the voice isn't telling me to do anything. It's telling me what I've already done... accurately, and with a better vocabulary.

11. But the key meeting took place July 3rd, 1958, when the Air Force brought the space visitor to the White House for an interview with President Eisenhower. And Ike said, "hey look, give us your technology, we'll give you all the cow lips you want."

12. Did you read her latest novel? It's not even literature - it's drainage. The only good books she ever wrote were when she was with me: every morning, while she was sleeping, I'd cross out half her adjectives.

13. You're born into a family. You do not join them like you do the Marines.

14. Timeline? This is no time to talk about time. We don't have the time!... What was I saying?

15. Lesbian Nazi Hookers Abducted by UFOs and Forced Into Weight Loss Programs - -all next week on Town Talk.

16.There are three kinds of pipe. There's aluminum, which is garbage. There's bronze, which is pretty good, unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. Then, there's copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money.

17. We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented.

18. This is not unlike escaping my mother's womb. God, what a memory.

19. So she says, "Uh-uh, You don't have a challenge, you need a challenge." So now I'm challenged, all right- I'm challenged to hold on to my lunch money because of all the big mooses who wanna pound me, 'cause they think I'm a shrimpy dork who thinks he's smarter than them! But I don't think I'm smarter, I just do the stupid homework! If everyone else JUST DID THE STUPID HOMEWORK, they could move up a grade and get pounded, too! Is there anymore coffee?

20. It's alright to be afraid... because this part won't be like a comic book. Real life doesn't fit into little boxes that were drawn for it.
