Match that quote, special Snooze Crew edition!
You know the rules...but in case you're either dense or a newbie:
1. In the extended entry are quotes from 10 movies. Your job is to identify the movie that each quote came from.
2. Guess as many times as you want, just don't get silly about it.
3. First person to correctly guess each entry gets a point. If there are any left after 24 hours they are worth 2 points.
4. As people guess the films I will strike out those entries and note who got it first.
5. NO cheating!!! That means NO: Google, IMDb, searching my archives etc.!
And I think this one is harder than Jim's Match that Quote. These are taken from old movies, cult films, and are, I think, lesser known quotes from relatively recent movies (except for one or two giveaways). Heck, one of 'em might even be from a cartoon. I confess I probably won't be as quick on the draw as Jim is on announcing right or wrong, so you'll just have to deal with it.

Nope. It's not "The Phantom of the Opera." No point for you!

"Phantom of the Paradise" is correct! Another point for Dafyd.
And no, I didn't know what you meant. "PotO" is much more well known than "PotP" and the movies are definitely different. Accuracy counts.

A letter home from Jim
As most of you know JimÂ’s run off for a while to a wedding in Spokane. He hand picked
the best writers on the internet the
six knuckle heads that actually took the time to fill out the request. Using his powers of telepathy Jim could tell that you, the faithful Snooze Button Readers could miss him. So he sent me the photo* with a note scribbled on it (its in the extended entry and Not Work Safe) that I wanted to share with you.
I must warn you a bit though before you take a look at the photo that itÂ’s a tad bit disturbing. I had always thought that Jim was joking when he said he looked like Matt LeBlanc**. And from his recent post an Argument for Creationism I had assumed he was a breast man (not that he had a pair). Well maybe heÂ’s just fascinated will all facets of the human body since in his next post he was fixated with his ass. I just didnÂ’t expect him to send us a photo with it on display (in red Manties no less).
So go ahead read the note Jim sent***, but donÂ’t say I didnÂ’t warn you.

All this excitement about wine
Kids if you've been paying attention this week we learned earlier
from Victor that States can no longer ban out of state wine shipments.
Every seeking to help our reader in their daily lives The Snooze Crew™ set out on a mission to review the best screw top wines available. After several trips to the corner mini-mart we determined the results of this wine review site were accurate.
With the help of the wines mentioned in the review you too can drink any woman pretty; even her.
Hat Tip: Confederate Yankee for point out referring us to the Wine Review mentioned above.

The Great Lengths One Will Go To
Hello faithful SBD readers! I am one of the beloved Snooze Crew that has taken over in Jim's absence.
I had to beg for help on some ideas of what to write about here while Jim is gone, and someone gave me a stellar idea. Favorite Summertime Memories.
My Favorite Summertime Memory happened about 10 years ago when my eldest daughter was 5 years old.

Another application
For those interested in filling out applications:
Hello - we are a team of award winning producers working on a film for a major cable network about women's progress - as well as our "unfinished business" and dreams.
We are currently seeking women in their mid-40's to 60's who might be interested in sharing their recent coming out stories on camera. We believe that, by focusing on the personal and workplace conflicts and concerns of women who recently came out, we can illuminate the important struggles, triumphs and hopes of the lesbian community and of courageous, individual women.
Sure they're looking for women, but I figured what the hell I'd apply too, I'm a Lesbian trapped in a mans body (so I'm half of what they're looking for).
If you're interested in filling applying, here's the contact information.
There that should help firm up Jim's standing in the gay community. No matter what anybody else says IÂ’m here for ya boss.

Tasteless humor
A good-ole-redneck boy staggered home late after another evening with his drinking buddies.
Shoes in left hand to avoid waking his wife, he tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step in the darkened entryway.
As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump.
A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing to suppress a yelp, he sprung up, pulled down his pants and examined his lacerated and bleeding cheeks in the mirror of a nearby darkened hallway, then managed to find a large full box of band aids before proceeding to place a patch as best he could on each place he saw blood.
After hiding the now almost empty box, he managed to shuffle and stumble his way to bed.
Morning, he awakens with screaming pain in head and butt to find his wife staring at him from across the room, and hears her say: "You were drunk again last night!!!"
Forcing himself to ignore his agony, he looked meekly at her and replied: "Now Hon, why would you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," she said, "there is the front door left open, the broken whiskey bottle glass at the bottom of the stairs, the drops of blood trailing through the house, your bloodshot eyes, and all that blood in the bed, but, mostly.... it's all those band aids stuck on the mirror downstairs!"

Cartoonage
Man, I love me some cartoons, especially
Tom & Jerry (pre-1955, please) and
Wile E. Coyote. But my very favorite cartoons are two Bugs Bunny cartoons which are probably faves of yours, too:
The Rabbit of Seville and my absolute favorite,
What's Opera, Doc?
At work, I listen to a classical station, and you know what I've discovered? I can't hear anything by Wagner without thinkig of that cartoon.

The rule of three
My girlfriend and I have the unwritten rule of three-
This is, simply put- A free pass to sleep with three pre-agreed upon famous people should we ever get the chance. ItÂ’s a nice little semi-harmless exercise- We get to hoot, whistle and drool unabashedly in front of each other when any of the five chosen ones appear on TV.
Yes, I did say five. (More on that in a minute..)

Nope. I guess we are just too vanilla for that. Or not into hollywood, take your pick. The game actually makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, I guess I'm a bit of a prude really. I mean I know it is a game and that most people playing it wouldn't really give in to the moment if given the chance, but still...

I guess you have to keep in mind that neither my girlfriend or I will ever get to be in close proximity to these people.
Even if- by some weird twist- we were ever to get close enough, we are not likely to find ourselves being singled out for a night of freaky monkey circus sex.
This is what makes the game relatively harmless.

I know that my husband goes for Sandra Bullock, but not in a crazy weird way - he says that she reminds him of me (how sweet), and I... don't really have anyone, now that I think of it. That's interesting really. I mean, there are a lot of good-looking men in Hollywood (as there are elsewhere), but when it all boils down to it none of them would touch me with a 10-foot pole, so why put the effort into it? Besides, my husband looks like Tom Cruise and is incredibly sexy so why go looking elsewhere?

Woo and Hoo!
From
Da Professor comes word the Supremes have ruled states cannot ban direct out-of-state wine shipments. This fills me with joy, as I live in Maryland, one of those backwaters where direct wine sales are banned. Worse, I live in Montgomery County, which regulates the sale of alchohol out the wazzoo. OUT THE WAZZOO, I SAY!!!.

I live in one of those backwater states too, Michigan.
And I am happy about this as there is a great winery in South Carolina (no I am no joking) whose wines we just love.
I'm going to place an order this week.

You can't buy wine on the Internet yet. The ruling allows state legislatures to make laws allowing it, but does not require it at this time.
Or, at least, that's what NPR said yesterday.
Posted by: Garret at May 17, 2005 07:41 AM (IOwam)

WHAT THE DECISION MEANS
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws in Michigan and New York that favored in-state wine shipping over out-of-state wineries. States must now allow wine shipping by in- and out-of-state producers, or ban shipments altogether.
[www.pe.com]
And, yes you can buy wine over the internet, I have done it alot, and I have to say that it's great when it shows up at your house all cozy and you don't have to go anywhere to get it...

It's travel time
I promised in my
application to guest host I wouldn't start a comment party unless bribed by Harvey. Well Harvey hasn't bribed me yet, so I figured I'd host a TrackBack party, since we need something to track back to I figured an image would be a great idea. Now the only thing to ponder is the image.
Given Jim's preference for all things bird & boob (i.e.: the blue footed boobie) related I thought it best to go with a combination of both. So without further delay I present to you, Jim's purple hooter:
A picture of Jim's purple hooter is below in the extended entry and should be work safe.

Please allow me to introduce myself...
I'm not a man of wealth, nor of taste. Believe you me.
My name is Victor, and I'm helping trash Jim's blog while he's away. In the likely event you're not one of the six or so people who read my blog, you have no idea who I am, so by way of introduction, I'd like to post my answers to Jim's Guest Blogger Application. I confess I filled it out pretty much because I like to fill out forms, and less because I wanted to guest blog here. I mean, take a look at my blog--I hardly ever post there.

A picture to send Jim off
Well Jim isn't actually leaving until the 17th; but since he said we could start posting I figured what better way to send him off than with a picture?
So in the extended entry, Jim said to post pictures that may not be work safe in the extended entry portion, I've posted a picture of a hairy pecker. And it's even from Washington State, which is even more fitting since Jim's headed to Spokane.
* The picture should be work safe; it's not the hairy pecker you're thinking of pervo.

Donate to PETA, kill fuzzy animals!
Here's an interesting tidbit I found at
Rhymes With Right. The animal shelter at PETA's Norfolk headquarters isn't a no-kill shelter. In the past five and a half years they've killed over 10,000 puppies and kitties (Figure doesn't include murders in 2005).
Here's the numbers.
PETA had income of over $29,000,000 (that's TWENTY-NINE MILLION, in case you're having trouble with all of those zeros) last year. Obviously that wasn't enough to house the thousands of companion animals they killed. There must be something wrong with my math though because when I multiply 2,000 pets times $600 (average annual cost for a shelter to keep an animal) it comes out to way less than a single PETA advertising campaign.
There is no notice anywhere on PETA's website that they kill animals. There's lots of begging for money to save the animals though.
So donate to PETA and kill a kitten today!

Sure! It's not like they're on any endangered species list or anything. In fact, this might be a good time to introduce legislation to cull the herd.

What's on your list?
Helen has a
list of demands for the world at large. It's good stuff - mostly common sense things like having an option for a non-shedding cat (besides those nasty hairless ones, of course). I put a couple of my own in her comments but my brain has been on fire since then and has regurgitated its own list.
Dear World, the following are my demands:
* Stop making hot sauces turn my ass into a fiery red inferno of pain and bloody leakage the next day. I know back in the day that this was a mark of honor and gave me bragging rights to show off my consumption of deadly spices but these days I'm not showing off at all. Honest. I just like the taste and would like to enjoy it without the specter of a disintegrating colon hanging over my head.
* Please throw whatever switch is needed in women's heads so they'll understand that it is not necessary to have any particular objective in mind in order to purchase a reciprocating saw. Having a reciprocating saw is self justifying just because it is.

Placing the words "disintegrating colon" in the top entry might have been a bad idea. I just didn't have the stomach to venture further. Reordering might be in order.

That's there intentionally. To set the mood, know what I mean?

I want a working hallodeck.

Considering that whoever is filling these demands is going to start with the easiest to fill, I would like it to be known that I want a sit-on-top ocean kayak. For one person or two, it doesn't matter.
I'll let Paul use it if he shares the hallodeck every once in a while.

You are really in touch with your backside today-4 of those have to do with the nether regions..
Aww, what the hell. (We'll call it "anal awareness")
In college, we had three main sources of nutrition- Beer, ramen noodles and 10 cent wings. The after effects of beer mixed with speech defect-inducing hot sauce were affectionately referred to as "Sh*tting a running chainsaw" or "giving birth to aliens".
Oh- And I want to be invisible for a day so I can hide in the ladies room and lift all the seats.

Here's the trick with the reciprocating saw. Just go buy one, but keep it hidden from the wife. Once you have one, you will find a need for it, I promise. When I bought mine I wasn't sure what I'd need it for. And now I've used it on just about every project to date.
Anyway - once you have the saw and you've identified several uses for it, start the project and stop midway (while the house is a mess) and declare your need for the saw. The wife will relent.
Then, you can go to the range and drive a bucket of balls (while she thinks you're out buying a saw you already own).
It's just a shame that LW reads these posts - I'm sure you could have gotten away with this!

At least you know that you're not the only one who's suffering. ;-)

yeah...and while you're making your demand for minivans to be cool, why don't you ask for something equally preposterous--like hilary clinton turning from the dark side or Ted Kennedy drying up.

Jim,
I have a Sanyo 4900 and it has an Airplane Mode. I know Sprint has a couple other phones that have that. I'm not sure about other carriers, although I would think there has to be other phones that have that feature.

Come on now, a cool minivan is at least THEORETICALLY possible. I bet they could turn out a sweet one on "Pimp my Ride".

Ryan - Sweet! Item #3 is already being granted. The rest of them should fall like dominos.

theory aint reality, bub. hehe...
P.S. I have driven a minivan for 10 years and rarely if EVER do i get even an acknowledgement from masareti owners.hehe.. On the flipside, i drove my husbands '68 buick once and I got LOTS of attention. Granted, it was from illegal mexicans, but a girl's gotta take what she can get! ;-)

"Does poop really need to smell that bad"
I never really knew I could gag from bad smelling poop until we got a dog.
I know when I get old and have to live on dog food I know which brand I won't be buying.
Blech.

I'd like a 'This is gonna come up and bite you in the ass' flag, built into MS Project. This week, it would've come in handy. Pass me my whoopee cushion.

All I want is teleportation... that's it. No traffic jams, no being late to work, and being able to hit Starbucks on the spur of the moment. My poop could gag me to death as long as I had teleportation.

Gimme a "T" Gimmie an "M" Gimmie an "I"
[running chainsaw?!? yikes]
Here's a couple of ideas born out of experience:
If the lady doesn't see the inherent value in that saw, let her use it for a while. [In my case] that would involve showing her the basics, leaving the book handy [yes, men, these things come with The Book] and then
going away for a while and letting her play with it. 'Til she's done.
If that's a no-go, make the saw / shoes analogy. "The perfect project / outfit *will* come along; then where will I be?"

A big YES from the House of Bou on the cool state of the mini-van. I'm tired of being the asexual Mom person who drives a mini-van.
I'd think the probabiity of getting colon cancer is significantly smaller if you're constantly burning it out...
