😺 Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. 🤨 Let's go, Brandon! 🤨 Try that in a small town.

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

That cracks me up

Hahaha! I LOVE that movie. I watch the entire loop when they show it for a full 24 hours at Christmas. Well, that and I recorded it (but the down side is that it came with commercials). Long gone are the days when it was shown on a cable station sans commercials. Ahh, that was lovely.

Yeah…the first time I saw it was on HBO back in the 80s…hasn't been on HBO since I don't think. Pretty sure it was on a steaming platform last Christmas though👍

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Did you see where a fan bought the house, and rebuilt the interior to match the layout as portrayed in the movie, and he runs guided tours, has a gift shop, and of course, ta-DAH, he sells leg lamps! Frah-JILL-eee.

Speaking of which, one particular transition sticks with me: When Ralphie is upstairs in the bathroom using his super secret decoder ring ("Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!") and he cusses a bit, and the transition goes from him sitting at the toilet, to Mother Parker lifting the lid off a boiling pot of red cabbage stewing on the stove.

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

I did not see that…but now I want to
damnit!

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

I saw it on youtube. This guy invested quite a bit of money in that house, and he redid it completely according to the movie, same interiors, moved walls, matched the décor and everything.

He said his biggest money-maker, however, is selling those leg lamps. I'm going to admit it here, I'd love one!

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

I'd like one too…but my wife would make fun of me😂

I'm gonna check out that video!

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Wait until she's asleep, when it's dark out. Then be very, very quiet, and pull it out of the closet. Set it on that stand you have in the living room by the big front window. You know the one. Yeah, that one. And plug the lamp in, make sure the seam on the stockings is straight. Center it juuuuust right, and turn all the lights out in the house so the neighbours can see.

I mean, it IS a major award after all.

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

I have one. Our son got it for us for Christmas one year. Every holiday season that lamp is set up in our dining room window in the front of the house so that everyone who passes can see it.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

I love it! I get such a hoot out of that thing. I'd display it proudly in my living room at Christmas!

Did your son also get you a blue bowling ball?

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

It's a tradition!

That would go to his dad… if he bowled.
Mind you, I'm only guessing, but I think that I can honestly say that there are no blue balls around here…

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

i'm envious!

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

But, since you recorded it you can fast forward though the commercials

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Quite true! And I do! But there's about 6 minutes of movie to about 10 minutes of commercials. I'd like to sit back, chill, relax and enjoy a movie, as opposed to constantly having the remote in my hand while I sit through fast forwarding more time devoted to commercials than is devoted to the movie.

But alas, it *is* one of my favourite movies, so without fail, I suck it up and do what I have to do. It's worth it. That film is a total classic. A "must-see." It's mandatory in Christmas Law. 😜

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Yes! My video/DVD player went tits up and I always wish I could tape things so I can rewind to try and catch what they said if I couldn't understand them

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!



Well, this is a tomb. I'll make them feel at home

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Back to posting dumb gifs huh?

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

What was the prize?

Crofts a little disappointed that the current drama has knocked him off the top spot.

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Pictured above is my prize😂

What is the latest drama?

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

A leg lamp?

Drama between mcl and mods

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Well..a picture of a leg lamp…provided by yours truly…this joke didn't go over so we'll😂

Damnit! I never get to have any fun
With the trolls!

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

So nothing then

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Not a god damned thing…I think Erika is CROFTs girlfriend 👎

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Hopefully she will see this thread and it will jog her memory!

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

That's what I was thinking…ten hours ago 😂

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

I would tag her but I'm invisible

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

You have her on ignore?

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

No but I rarely get responses from anyone who isn't one of the ex mc gang!

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Ain't that the truth! I'm slowly getting traction here…but damn it's difficult!

Re: I finally got my prize for the poetry contest!!!

Good job we have each other!

Nimda already shit canned that little plan of mine…no colors!

For a long time, I have felt invisible as well. Things are getting a little better. I'm no longer hanging back and lurking. It helps to make a comment and join in the conversations I find sort of interesting. I am no longer shy about making observations anymore. The more you make your voice heard, the more familiar you will become.
If you don't like the responses you get, just don't reply back.

Yes. The socks can sometimes be a bit of a challenge…. now? Well, with the advent of /. it got a bit more challenging.
