A bonus post about the last post
I have no problem at all in poking fun at religions I've been a member of. Perhaps you recall the time I said something like, "I used to be Southern Baptist (our motto: We know why we're going to heaven and why you're not)" or the time I said something similar to, "When I became Catholic they gave me a crucifix that said on the back, 'I'm Catholic, Call a Priest.' Of course they made me turn in my other cross ... the one that said, "I'm Baptist. You're going to Hell.'"
Seinfeld had an episode in which he groused about the fact that the dentist became Jewish just for the jokes. His thinking was, sort of, that people were allowed to make fun of organizations and religions they were member of but others should keep their hands off.
In my last blog entry I said some things that I hope were not offensive. I try to be sensitive to all religions and all cultures to which I don't belong and try to never name my stuffed animals — Fluffy, Spot and Pope Benedict — inappropriately.
Anyway, in the last entry Sue left a comment asking what Sam's lines might have been. To keep you sharp for the holidays I've put together a little puzzle. Two of the following five lines were Sammo's. You figure it out. (Bonus points if know the movies the other lines come from.)
"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?!"
"It seems Graysville isn't so gray after all."
"Say hello to my little friend."
"I ain't got time to bleed."
"Wow, just look at all those wonderful windows."

Sheesh! Put me in the spotlight, eh?
The first line is one you've used on Ms. Q.'s Blog, but I don't know if you ever saw my reply to that... "Yew Tawkin' to me?" hahaha.
What's sad is that I can do that New Yoiwk Accent quite nicely these days... sigh.
I'm going with #2 and #5, because I have no idea where #4 came from, but it sounds so familiar and I'm afraid to say that came from a Children's play.

By the way.. 2 and 5 are the only ones where I can see a certain delivery of them carrying the show... reminds me of dental floss, but I'll lament on that one another day. hehehe.

Rats! Nancy beat me to it. I'll have to settle for the rejoinder to the Body (one of my all time favorites: You got time to duck?

Glad others got here first, 'cause I wouldn't have had the foggiest. Just wanted to put my two cents in on not finding anything in the previous post offensive, or this one either - just funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

So anyway...I think there's something wrong with the commenting on the Christmas decree post - least I couldn't comment on it. :-( I'm not sure I totally understand, except that maybe someone is jerking someone around?
In TX all our decrees got messed up because they changed the school calendar. But I hope my ex NEVER decides to start following it where New Years is concerned, bec. the kids have ALWAYS spent New Years Eve with me and my family. When we were married he would sometimes come with us and sometimes not.
I'm pretty sure my kids would read him the riot act if he ever tried to change their tradition bec. of the decree, though he mentions wanting to every year.
