He was an amazing story teller! (he narrated the film, was on radio for many years, and had a number of hysterical books "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories" "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash")

[Shakespeare]

"Stuck. It's Stuck. It's STUCK!!!"

[mtnester]

7. I was going to post that one, but with the recent Screech

um....unfortunate movie choices...it was also brought up about the same unfortunate movies choices made by this young man as well...it kind of tainted this scene for me forever (no pun intended EITHER ya pervs!)

:)

[sarge43]

42. It was his bandaged tongue that capped that routine.

Perfect.

[mtnester]

Waiter #1, Waiter #2, Waiter #3: Deck the halls with boughs of horry, ra ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra.
Chop Suey Palace Owner: No, no, not 'ra ra ra ra', 'la la la la'! Try again.

Waiter #1, Waiter #2, Waiter #3: Deck the halls with boughs of horry, ra ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra.

Chop Suey Palace Owner: No, no! Sing something else.

Waiter #1, Waiter #2, Waiter #3: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sreigh!

[nonconformist]

[Whoa_Nelly]

It was his only defense.

[mtnester]

12. That kid was WEIRD

really


Ah...I hate the smell of tapioca

[MissMillie]

14. Over the years I got to be quite a connossieur of soap.

Though my personal preference was for Lux, I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heavy, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand... YECCHH!

[BigMcLargehuge]

17. What brought you to this terrible state?????!!!????

Soap.... P... P... Poisoning.

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. BTW-- Ralphie Bobble Head Doll

[BigMcLargehuge]

16. that was the first movie that made me laugh myself sick

I was 11 or 12 when it hit the theaters and I saw it on a Saturday afternoon with my best friends and my two brothers. We didn't want to see "a heartwarming family comedy" as it was advertised, but we'd seen everything else in the theater by then.

A Christmas Story hit me like a left hook and knocked me into hilarious delirium. The effect was probably amplified by the fact that I didn't think it would be funny at all.

Go figure.

[naturalselection]

20. Bumpese's dogs

"Son of bitch. . . . . BUMPESES!"

[BigMcLargehuge]

22. NOBODY MOVE!!!!!!!

(The Old Man runs off to change the fuse)

[nonconformist]

23. "Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex...

.... gleaming in the window"

[BigMcLargehuge]

25. D. O. N. T. F. O. R. G. E. T. T. O. D. R. I. N. K. Y. O. U. R.

"Don't forget to drink your ovaltine?!?"



Son of a bitch!

("Come on Ralphie, I have to go to the bathroom")

[mtnester]

It Runs in the Family (aka My Summer Story) as much

[nonconformist]

27. Of course, this thread wouldn't be complete without "You'll shoot your eye out!" nt

[naturalselection]

31. Another great line......

"in the heat of battle, my father wove a tapestry of obscenity which to this day is still hovering somewhere over Lake Michigan"

[Zomby Woof]

34. Can't believe it's been 2 years since I played The Old Man

Yes, Virginia, there is a stage version of this classic tale. :-)

It was a blast. :D :bounce: My favorite parts were opening the crate with the leg lamp, and yelling at the Bumpus hounds when they destroyed xmas dinner. :rofl:

[Redneck Socialist]

35. "Oh fudge!"

"Except that I didn't say fudge."

Great movie
