The American Phrase I Love....

"I'm walkin' here!".

As said by Ratzo, played by Dustin Hoffman, in Midnight Cowboy.

I use it so much (just changing the "walkin" to "shoppin", "talkin", "sittin", "breathin" or whatever) it's now an integral part of me.

The best thing to have come out of Hollywood...ever!

Hey! I'm postin' here!

What I find to be funny is when I say that to people. I'm disabled. OK. So I've never done that, but it would be funny if I did.

What the fuck?

Ratso was a profound character, pp. Great movie from John Schlesinger. One of the very best 60s flicks, with a great Warhol party scene. And so NY. "Hey, I'm flaming here!"

Did anyone notice that that same line was used in "Forrest Gump?"

I love the word "bloody." I use it a lot. I know, it's an import.

That EXACTLY what a friend of mine does do. I mentioned him some weeks ago about when he wheels himself up to a bar to get a round of drinks he shouts out "Hey I'm walkin' here!", sometimes changing it to "Hey I'm wheelin' here!"

It never fails to draw smiles and laughs from people...

Naturally he finds no problem in jumping the queue!

and great, great music...

Everybody's talkin at me...
I don't hear a word they say...
Just the echoes in my mind...
I'm goin' where the sun shines brightly...
Through the pourin' rain...

YESSSS!!
