Today's memes: Two for the price of one

[thatcrazycajun]

Gleefully gacked from khaosworks:
Go through my interests list and pick one that 1) you know nothing about but sounds intriguing, or 2) you know something about but can't fathom why yours truly would be interested in it, or 3) you know a lot about and love and want to natter on with a kindred spirit and request an explanation (or natter away:-). Could be fun, could just be a new way to start a conversation.

And from half my friends list:
Ten references I expect only my nearest and dearest to get:
1. "Someone's knockin' on my barn doh-or..."
2. "Yes, Your Honor, it's true; this man has no dick."
3. "It's hot! Damned hot! Were you born on the sun?!"
4. "Character is what you are in the dark."
5. "Yeah, yeah, patience. How long will that take?"
6. "Were you born an asshole / Or have you worked on it your whole life?"
7. "Any old port in a storm / Any old hole, hole, hole..."
8. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to shoot you." BANG! "What a senseless waste of human life..."
9. "This chick is TOAST!!!"
10. "Let's go home, honey...I'll bake you a carrot cake."

2: Ghostbusters beating up on the EPA. And I assure you that the EPA guy could never have pulled that crap off. In real life.

2, 9 and 10. The first two from GB, the last from WKRR. Initials rather than full titles in case someone else wants to play.

3. Robin Williams?
Yep, to Forest Whitaker's character in GOOD MORNING VIETNAM.

5. Tae Kwon Leap
Yeah, but by whom? You do remember the group's name, right?

6. "The I-95 Song"
Artist's name for those who haven't heard it? (No, NOT Neal Rodgers.)

And I can't believe no one who knows me at all has guessed #4. Now that I recall, the full quote was, "History is made at night! Character is what you are in the dark!" Maybe that'll help...

I had no idea YOU'D seen it! LOL...where do you think the Porno Patrol(TM) got its name? ;-)

For those who are lucky enough not to have had their time wasted and their eyeballs debased by it, the "space turkey" in question is GALAXINA, a 1980 grade-Z skiffy film starring the late Dorothy Stratten in the title role and the equally late Avery Schreiber as Capt. Cornelius Butt, who sang the song from which the quote is taken.

Definitely opens up some memories

Hi there The Cat:

(Anne here) Oh hell yeah. That 'were you born on the sun' thing had me LOL, seriously. Why not add "nagasaki!" ?? :-)

Re: Definitely opens up some memories

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I had forgotten that one...but thank you for reminding the F.C. (Forgetful Cat). :-) And remember these?

"We're number one in affordable homes, rebuilt or new / 'Cause we go fourth-class, and then we pass the savings on to you!"

and "'Odor in the court!' said the judge / Let's take a short recess / Open up the windows and turn on the fan / Let me outta here, ye-e-es!"
