No blogging for Lena today! The little guy has decided to grace me with his presence non-stop. Sorry peeps :(
I hope you have an exceedingly wonderful weekend! Since I won’t have time to throw up anything original, here are my favourite lines from A Christmas Story:
Scut Farkus! What a rotten name! There he stood, between us and the alley. Scut Farkus staring out at us with his yellow eyes. He had yellow eyes! So, help me, God! Yellow eyes!

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine. Ovaltine? A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!

Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. Though my personal preference was for Lux, I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor – heavy, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand… YECCHH!

It was all over – I was dead. What would it be? The guillotine? Hanging? The chair? The rack? The Chinese water torture? Hmmph. Mere child’s play compared to what surely awaited me.
-Ralphie as Adult
Oh…fuuuudge… Only I didn’t say “Fudge.” I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the “F-dash-dash-dash” word!
-Ralphie as Adult
It ’twas… soap poisoning.

Only one thing in the world could’ve dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window.

I want a red rider 200 shot carbine action range model air rifle with a compass and this thing which tells time built right in the stock.

In the heat of battle, my father wove a tapestry of obscenity that as far as we know, is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan.

*EDIT*
Lil Lex reminded me of the classic tag-line of the movie:
You’ll shoot your eye out.
-Ralphie’s Mom, Miss Sheilds, Department Store Santa
You'll shoot your eye out. Classic!
Ah, yes! How could I forget the tag line of the whole movie? I'll have to add that one in!
I guess this is why you wanted to watch it this past weekend.Alright, lets watch it this week!
