D’Avonte: “Miss McMcerson, what’s the name of that movie…the guy’s like a carpenter or something.”
Me: “Jesus?”
Annnnnnd the movie ended up being Overboard. I was SO damn close.

Fisticuffs and Shenanigans 
Ha! One of my favorite movies, I gotta admit (with a shamed face).
Oh, I mean “overboard”, not the other one……
You are not alone, friend. I posted this on my personal facebook and the fans are coming out of the woodwork.
HAHAHAHA ummmmm having trouble visualizing Goldie Hawn being ok with the stable scene… cattle lowing and all…
That voice would cause a stampede. 🙂
Right! A whole new chapter in the new testament explaining why cats in heat showed up instead of three wise men.
And that other chapter about Thou Shalt Not Date Derek Jeter.
ROFL!!!! Amen
Now I am gonna definitely pay more attention to my tortillas, that’s for sure!!
Right!? A free t-shirt to the first person who finds me a Kurt Russell tortilla.
Cool!!! I’m on it!
Um…weird how excited I am!? Best $15 investment I’ve EVER made.
Uh…Meg? (please forgive me:) That tortilla is going to look more like a soggy taquito by the time I’m ready to hand it over to you.
(I don’t know why I’M sorry: Seems like, from “Smitten”‘s remark, she had the same idea….)
The single most gross and yet hilarious perfect thing I’ve ever read. Madam…you….have made me snort before 7am.
Aaaaand, D’Avonte is back.
Girl is never far from home… (psssst…home is in my head, where I will never get rid of the kid)
Oh!!! 🙂
Totally kidding, but if I was going to hear voices, I’d want it to be hers. I can’t make shit up as good as she says it.
There’s a whole compendium of family jokes that revolves around y mother’s affection for this movie. It includes random quotes and the fact that it gets watched whenever it’s on television, in spite of the fact that my dad bought her her own copy.
I just don’t understand how this has such a cult following and I never knew about it!!!! WTF!?
“Catarina! Arturo!” It’s all about the simple, corny romance of a plot based on revenge turned to genuine love.
Soooooo, practically Shakespearean
They need to do a remake of this movie starring D’Avonte.
Oh shit…I’m pitching this, immediately! Spielberg, we need to talk.
You should co-star.
I’ll be the straight man no one listens to.
And you’ll do it better than anyone in the business.
You said, “do it”. heh heh heh
You’re right. Now I’m giggling.
As a former adoring admirer of The Black Crowes, I can confirm that the birth of Kate Hudson was indeed an anti-christ watershed moment.
Thanks Goldie…
Yoko Ono-style, she destroyed the band.
Or at least, that’s what the rumours were…
Remember how nervous the Muse fans were when that started up? They had good reason. She must be prettier in person than she looks on film, because I just don’t get it.
Yeah, all imagining Kate whispering “go solo, Matt, go solo”…
I don’t quite get it either… although, sometimes…
Her kid probably automatically calls all men “Uncle ____”
Is NO one else going to get on your case about your knee-jerk set of programmed Catholic responses?:
“You say carpenter-I say ‘Jesus'”
“You say fisherman-I say Simon Peter”
“You say virgin-I say Mary”
“You say slut-I still say Mary”
(YOU know: That OTHER Mary.)
Well, if no one else is, I won’t either.
Hey, it was Ash Wednesday!!!
Damn it…I hate when she has a point. 🙂
No excuse. Major boos: Those ashes were cribbed straight from the Jews. (No kidding. I only recently learned this myself.)
Well, given the limited amount of info you were given, Jesus is a pretty good guess.
That’s a pretty good guess in almost any circumstances where you are given nondescript info:
“The guy with the shoes”
“The guy with no shoes”
“The guy with his bros”
“The guy who was friend zoned by girls”
“The guy who was sad”
“The guy who was kind”
And so on! Jesus is the LBD of movies, really.
“Jesus is the LBD of movies, really”.
Annnnnd now we know what will be printed on the t-shirt that we give to the first person to score me a Kurt Russell tortilla.
Teamwork!
(slow motion high five)
Followed by fireworks. Pretty sure both Goldie Hawn and the Anti-Christ like fireworks.
They smell like brimstone and they’re fucking beautiful, so it’s a given, really. lol
You guys have both just made my morning. Talk about ballet…
I’m going to stop thinking you can’t possibly get funnier when I’m wrong every damn time.
Stop…I already agreed to make out with you. This is just overkill.
Meg, you are killing me now.
Moi? Non!
Jesus was my first thought to. Well, maybe not.
See! It’s not just me!
Devonte needs to be introduced to “The Lion in Winter”… Although I’m pretty sure you’ll be hearing that cattiness several times through the year after he’s seen it…
…I should know, I still use, “Love… In a world where carpenters get resurrected, anything’s possible…”
Ugh, but the last thing that child needs is more ammo. Lol
brilliant guess on your part. this got me thinking (and I usually think too much) – when all the hype was brewing about the movie – passion of the Christ, mr. dayinthelife loved to say to hardcore Christians (I love to put the adjective “hardcore” in front of Christian), “I’d go see the passion of the Christ, but I already read the book.” or, “the bummer with that movie is that we already know how it ends.” he was always meant with a blank stare. Christians were all, “huh?”
Ha ha ha!!! Hilariously, Ryan said something similar about having read the book. He got the same blank look from the reporter he said it to. 🙂
*reporter* even. better. #derp 😉
I may have solved the Kate Hudson=anti-Christ puzzle:
Remember in Tombstone when Val Kilmer said “Yes, you’re a good woman, but on the other hand you may be the anti-Christ”?
Damn it…I hate when Kilmer is the one to spit the wisdom. 🙂
