Favourite line from "A christmas story"?

[HEyHEY]

I love, and always have loved; "I wanted to tell her I heard it at least ten times at day from my old man. My father worked in profanity the way other artists worked in oils or clay. It was his true medium. A master."

[tigereye]

1. I think the line about his dad being a furnace fighter is

pretty good. I haven't seen it enough to know all the lines that well. The whole shooting your eye out thing is pretty amusing, too.

How are ya, HH? Hope you are having a good holiday! :hi:

[HEyHEY]

36. "My father was one of the most feared furnace fighters in Northern Indiana

In the heat of battle he wove a tapestry of obscenities that still hangs over lake erie.
MErry christmas to you!

[Tallison]

2. This was playing at the local Cinema 'n Drafthouse

Wish I had caught it this year; it's been about five since the last time.

10. I love this one:

Aunt Clara had for years not only perpetually labored under the delusion that I was 4 years old, but also a girl.

[jakefrep]

12. Randy lay there like a slug

It was his only defense. :rofl:

23. I love that line, too - and this one

from Randy himself: "Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie!"

And when they're watching the Xmas parade, and Ralphie is getting impatient to go see Santa, the old man snaps, "SHUT UP, RALPHIE!" :rofl:

[General Zod]

13. Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian

Best. Line. Ever.

[Bemis]

34. That line is repeated all year long at work..

Anytime a package comes in marked "Fragile" someone has to say it.

[gmoney]

38. Agreed...

"It's a Fragilé..."

[Arugula Latte]

14. TBS is running a 24-hour "Christmas Story" marathon.

My kids are watching it right now. We're hoping they'll fall asleep -- they got us up EARLY today!

15. I grew up with a father like that.

It is truly an art form, and explains where I got my vocabulary. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

16. That's my favorite line also.

That movie is pure genius.

[LizW]

17. BUMPUSES!!!!!!!

My husband calls people that all the time.

[dolo amber]

"A Crummy commercial Son of a bitch".

[RevCheesehead]

20. "The Chicago Bears - terrors of the Midway...

...more like the Chicago Chimpunks, if you ask me."

[DawgHouse]

21. Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away

from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window.

[Parrcrow]

27. and describing his father's excitement over the lamp...

"overcome by art"


I love all of the lamp stuff.

[hobo_baggins]

22. A christmas story is one of those rare movies where almost every line...

is a classic that can be repeated, and everyone will know what you're talking about.

But of course, that could just be because of the marathon they run every year.

[wovenpaint]

24. Watch that movie every Christmas Eve

with my kids as tradition...just bought the DVD this year (upgrading from the VHS copy)
This year's quote is "It could be ANYTHING in there"
as Ralphie's dad was getting ready to rummage thru the "excelsior" in the fragile box....

[jakefrep]

26. "I went to the only room in the house...

where a boy could work in peace"

There are a lot of good ones, but that one sticks in my head for some reason.

[Emops]

29. Ohhhhh,

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudddddddddddddddggggggggge

[CBHagman]

37. "Only I didn't say , 'Fudge.'"

Then there's:

"Daddy's going to kill Ralphie!"

[Cush]

30. also: "I can't put my arms down!"

when he's all bundled up on the way to school

[pstokely]

31. "DON'T FORGET TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE"

[Hissyspit]

32. "Oh, no!... I shot my eye out!"

I like that one. Cause it's what I'd do.
