A Christmas Story...

[ABSTRUSE]

No..not one of mine, God that would be dull. I'm talking about the movie. I love it. I watch it like crazy during the holidays and pretty much know the whole script.

I love this as much as the Food Network.

So for all you Christmas story, Red Ryder BB-gun, Bumpus Hound, Leg Lamp fans, I found this wonderful site.

There is a section on the late Jean Shepard who wrote the story, bloopers, a Macy's window display.....oh just go look yourself and don't shoot your eye out!!!


and watch out....those icicles have been known to kill people.

We got my oldest hooked on that movie last year. Can't wait to watch again this year with both of the boys!

 

[dr_mabeuse]

Oh yeah. We have it pretty much memorized.

But the thing that still gets me? The sound of the train whistle as he lies in bed. That was my childhood too.

This is one of our holiday traditions, me and the boys trying to watch it while the wife tries desperately to avoid it.

She just never saw the beauty of a Red Ryder single shot pump action BB gun.

And I miss my old Daisy 880 every time I watch it.

I don't think you have to see the beauty of the Red Ryder to appreciate it. There are so many fantastic scenes in that movie- the fight scene with all that cussing, the lamp, the dogs eating the turkey...
I totally need to break down and buy that dvd.

I don't think I've EVER seen it..........I guess I've had a deprived adulthood.

I may have to coerce the gosling into renting the movie for this weekend.

Do you know they SELL the leg lamp now? We looked for years for one for my brother in law... of course now he's married and she won't let him have one!

In case you thought I was kidding....

That wouldn't stop me. Incite me more likely.

Would drive her nuts!

I find it hard to believe that she doesn't have a copy.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

by the way people, the book has been published again!!!

A Christmas Gory

How appropriate I found this today.

 

[matriarch]

I find it hard to believe that she doesn't have a copy.

I'll go delving.

 

[matriarch]

I'll go delving.

I don't have to delve.
Just mailed her.
'Of course I have a copy. Told you at least 10 times you are GOING to watch it.'

Tee-hee.......senility setting in.

That's that settled, then.

Orange marmalade works in place as a baste, but only AT the end, otherwise it burns. Polar Express made me cry. happily though

Now that sounds good.

I thought it was brilliant and the animation was incredible.

 

[cloudy]

Doesn't Min have a leg lamp, too?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Doesn't Min have a leg lamp, too?

I'm sure Mat will come across it.

 

[matriarch]

I'm sure Mat will come across it.

*blink, blink*.
What makes you think I haven't??

We watched it at Min's parents on Thanksgiving. Huge screen, even huger sound. Wow. It was good, but a complete Tom Hanks ego trip. Did he have to do ALL the adult voices???
