This post inspired by Turkey Lurkey’s loving b-day status update to her hubby.

Nope. The title is not a typo. It’s something hubby says to me now & then. Thank you ‘Back to the Future’ part 1 & actor Crispen Glover.

I’ve said elsewhere on the blog that we don’t have regular TV. We simply couldn’t justify the price anymore, especially when there seemed to be less and less of anything interesting on. Reality shows have taken over and they just weren’t our thing. That’s not to insult anyone that enjoys these shows, it just isn’t us. We did enjoy a few different series’ that would probably make you go “ick” so we’re even :) . We really enjoyed Mythbusters and Dirty jobs (well, if not the show, Mike Rowe anyway) so I buy the DVDs. Hubby also loved “The Unit” so I purchased that and have really gotten into it as well. Right now “Heros” has our attention and we blaze through those a couple episodes a night. So, we’re not TV snobs, I just didn’t  take to “Cooking with Aunt Betty while she remodels your house and takes in the neighbors kids to raise them right while she dances with Brad Pitt on a deserted island with only a rolling pin and a thong to defend herself”. Nuff said.

Back to the title (almost sounds like another ADD post, doesn’t it ;) ) Although we don’t do TV, we are movie watchers and at the top of the list are trilogys and such. Okay, so maybe ‘Back to the Future’ wasn’t an award winner, but it killed a few days and has re-inspired another saying in our home. If hubby does something allegedly asinine, the repair is, “I am your density”.

My favorite 80′s movies are slowly creeping their way into out collection as well. You just can’t go wrong with anything John Cusack. *swoon* “I want my two dollars” (Better off Dead) has been bellowed more than once (okay, mostly by me) and although it can’t be tossed out there easily, it’s hard not to giggle when handng hubby a pen. “I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.” (Say Anything)

As silly as it is, we love the movie ‘The Three Amigos’. We had some of our nieces & nephews over and made them watch it (because it was just child abuse that they hadn’t yet been subjected to it). It was my fault for making double layer tacos the next night. They said all-together with almost the skill of syncronized swimmers, “Is that all you have, Mexican Food?” LOL! The little boogers have a knack for memorizing movies.

Hands down, ‘The Princess Bride’ cannot be topped for quotes. Last year, I met a friend my my writer’s forum with hubby & daughter in tow. My friends comment to the size of my hubby was “He’s huge. Bugs Bunny character, pick you up and bend you into a pretzel huge.”  Hubby’s response: “I can’t help it if I’m the biggest and the strongest. I don’t even exercise.” Rest in peace, Andre the Giant. “Inconceivable”, “As you wish”  and “I do not think that word means what you think it means” will always be timeless classics as well.

I love when silly movie quotes and typos make their way into our lives. Share yours. I can always use another :)
