... About Frivolity

So I was thinking about what to write for this post, and I'll tell you what, Reader. It turns out, I have NOT been in the mood to tell anybody What I Think lately. Mostly because the thing that has been on my mind is guaranteed to offend some of you, likely to disappoint some of you, and possibly inspire some of you. But whether you understand where I'm coming from or not, it's sure to incite arguments and riots, and I just don't have the energy to go looting right now. Although it would be a great way to get my hands on that camera I've been coveting...

Hence the shallow posts as of late. And hence the lack of comments on any of your blogs. And the mismatched socks I'm sporting. Although it's possible the socks thing is just a coincidence.

The point is, Reader, until I get to a place where other, more blog-worthy thoughts occupy my mind (I'm pretty sure that place is on a mountaintop in Nepal... or possibly Malibu), you're going to be stuck with more of these cursory posts. Like this one. Hooray for puerility!

Remember how I'm a moviequoteophile? Yeah, that's right. Check me out, making up my own words and such. How's that for deep?

Anywho, I'd like to reward you for getting this far in this insipidly boring post by giving you a little game to play! Yea! Here's how it works: I'm going to post a few obscure quotes from some of my favorite quotable movies. I'll only post the first half - your task, Reader, is to complete as many of them as you can and put the answers in my comments.

You don't even have to know what movie it's from! AND, if you don't know the answer, MAKE IT UP!!! You'll get points for being right, but you'll get TOTALLY ARBITRARY BONUS POINTS if you're creative!

Please, don't cheat. Not only do cheaters go to Hell (and my hand basket is already going to be pretty full with all the treats and DVDs Kenna and I are planning to pack), but it'll also be so much more fun for me if you get them wrong.

I'll put the answers up in the comments to this post in ONE WEEK, at which point I will also announce the winner. What becomes of the winner, you ask? Bwahahahaha..... Let the fun commence!

1) "Okay, she is deranged. ____________________________."

2) "The only serious relationship I've been in ended in a broken collarbone and _______________________."

3) "I cannot get married in your mother's dress! She and I are not built the same way." "We can have it altered." "__________________________!"

4) "Watch it, bud!" "Who you calling bud, pal?" "Who you calling pal, friend?" "______________________________?"

5) "I think it's a mail plane." "How can you tell?" "___________________________?"

6) "Only the meek get pinched. ___________________________."

7) "I was hoping she was expelled, ___________________________."

8) "Only one thing in the world could have dragged me away from the soft glow of ____________________________________."

9) "You leave little notes on my pillow. I told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. __________________________________. ________________________________________________!"

10) "I'd say I'm a pretty darned good father. My father tried to eat me. ________________________________________!"
