Annette's tits are great, and other truths....

"I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being.  It happened in the summer of 1959 - a long time ago, but only if you measure in terms of years."   Well not really.. it happened in the summer of 1986, and I was 10 years old, and it wasn't a dead body... Mr. Krazy often teases me whenever I recount my childhood, because more often than not the tale starts as such "When I was ten years old...."  Now he preempts my story telling with "Let me guess, you were ten".  But seriously, do any of you have a year in your life that is full with memories of sunny days, the scent of summer, and the innocence of youth?  When you owned the world, and the only tragedy was when the street lights turned on?  Yeah... that year... happened when I was ten, and sooo many of those memories involve movies and my best friend D.   D. and I that summer watched Stand by Me every single day... EVERY SINGLE DAY, sometimes more than once.  We would have sleep overs with Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern, eating popcorn and cheese balls, and long after the lights were out, we would lay in my water bed reciting the movie, verbatim.  Our walls were covered in River Phoenix, and Wil Wheaton... we listened to tunes from the fifties, read Steven King's "The Body" and  we wrote stories about what happened after the movie ended.  It was our thing.  That movie... is the epitome of my childhood.  "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"  So, So, so very true!

Some other quotes from Stand By Me-

"Annette's Tit's are great!"
"Train Dodge.  Dig it!"
"Give me some skin"
"Suck my fat one you cheap dime store hood"
"Chopper Sick Balls!"

I could go on, but lets leave some love to some of my other childhood favourites"

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

"Strange things are afoot at the circle K"
"Party on Dudes"
"Excellent!  Bogus!"
"It's your MOM dude!"

Goonies

"Hey YOU GUUUUUYS!!!"
"Fiffy dolla bill fiffy dolla bill"
"Sloth love Chuck"

Lost Boys -

"The one thing about Santa Carla I never could stomach... All the DAMN vampires!"
"Maggot's Micheal!  You're eating maggots!  How do they taste?"
"Death by Stereo"


Until next time!  Stay safe and love yourself!
