Mine is when Westly explains what 'to the pain' means.

That's one of the best curses that has ever been in a movie.

I enjoy a drink every so often - responsibly, of course......watching all the alcoholics in my family made me vigilant about that

Joking about how much I drink is just my thing.

If it ever started interfering with other parts of my life, I'd dial it down a bit.

I'm glad you quit smoking.

The one pic I've seen of you, you were smoking.

Happy you quit.

Got a full bottle of Slivovice my platonic friend brought from Bulgaria and I'll find you an' rough you up in Pullyallup.

I hope you be opposite of my gender. If not, a 1,000 apologies. I only rough up guys. 😝 😘

I have a bottle of Slivovice in my booze cabinet downstairs.

I bought it because I was in love with the idea of plum brandy.

Then I tasted it, and it wasn't plummy enough for me.

I still have a glass now and then, because everyone needs something to help them on their way...

I asked you b4 if you had 'one of those'--i.e., A MISSUS! No reply.

I yam too chill to rough an'body presently. 😇

the Carpathian Mountains region of now Slovakia. My heritage is called Carpatho-Rus.
I understand some Slovak/Slavic, but not Moscovite/USSR Russian. The closest to us is Ukrainian. A friend tried putting me under his spell and insist I was really Ukrainian to which I vehemently said, NO WAY!

The Carpatski-Rus have a 'flavor' and identity all their own. So I resist! Mb that's why Iman effective resistor! Who knew I'd be using my traits in this tension we have put on us today.

I asked in another post "if you have one of those". I meant a missus, that I could plainly deduce when you said Mrs. Aristus. I wuz jus' bein' .

Nite....😴

I could never pick a favorite movie though. Impossible.

TPB is worthy though, no argument there. Would never argue against.

Best I could do is ... movies I've seen the most times, which is pretty easy:
3) Pink Floyd - The Wall
2) Monty Python & The Holy Grail
1) The Rocky Horror Picture Show

I played Eddie in the floor show at The Vogue in Louisville, KY, years ago.


It's all gone. The Vogue is a second-hand clothing store now...

Or did you mean the floor show at the theater, not The Floor Show ...

"It was great when it all be-gaaaaaan. Iwuzaregula Frankie fan ... but it was ovah when he haaad the plaaaaan ... to starta workin' on a muscle maaaan".

Cause Eddie didn't quite ... ya know ... make it to the floor show ... he was delayed, he was waylaid ... an emergency struck ...

"First ya spurn me fa Eddie! Then you throw him off like an old overcoat fa Rocky!"

Frankie would conk me, and I would fall dead off the stage.

I ended up having a fling with our Janet. Gorgeous. She looked like Amy Adams...

Once, on April Fools Day, we swapped roles (male played female), and I was Magenta.

I thought fishnets would make me look good somehow, but...no...

Still, it was fun...

I actually credit that movie as having a big role in directing me towards my grown-up stance on homosexuality (which is to say ... Go for it!).

I mean, I might've been the same, but I can't discount that RHPS wasn't pretty influential on me, as well as the friends I made at the theater there ... I started going to it at 15yo, at Midnight's ... this was early 80's so the general 'zeitgeist' on the subject was considerably more negative back then ... shall we say.

The fact that Frank was awesome in it, and oddly sexy ... even though I wasn't inclined that way, made me go ... I get it ... and there's nothing wrong with it.
