Happy Hump Day Survey!

"I swear, you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times, I'm outta here."
(NSFW language)

I'm trying to think of a sports movie I like. Most of them are either comedies (meh) or inspirational pap (also meh).

"Two men enter, one man leaves."

The Thunderdome is a valid sport right?

(You freaks have already taken the good ones :p)

Edit: Yeah, I realize that's a bit of a stretch being "sports" in a movie.

I understand the audience here and realize I should have put quotes around "sports" movie initially

And the first person who quotes Jerry McwhateverthehellthatmoviewithTomspacelizardinit gets a kick in the crotch.

Frank Machin: We don't have stars in this game, Mrs Weaver, that's soccer.

Mrs. Anne Weaver: What *do* you have?

Frank Machin: People like me.

This Sporting Life - the greatest sports/British Kitchen Sink Drama of all time.

I have far too many, all baseball movies. My top picks are:

"Are you breathing through the wrong f-ing eyelid again?!" - Bull Durham

"I've only got one thing to say to you...strike this mother f-er OUT!" - Major League

"It's supposed to be hard. If it were easy, everyone would do it." - A League of Their Own

(Also apparently I love the F word)

I'm pissed off now, Jobu. Look, I go to you. I stick up for you. You no help me now. I say "f*ck you Jobu"

I do it myself.

Major League is probably my favorite sports movie ever. Here's more:

"Vaughn, a juvenile deliquent in the off-season, in his major league debut"

"For the Indians, one run on, let's see, one hit? That's all we got, one goddamn hit?"
"You can't say goddamn on the air."
"Don't worry. Nobody's listening anyway."

"Alright, Vaughn. They tell us you're a pitcher. You're sure not much of a dresser. We wear caps and sleeves at this level. Understood?"

"How's your wife and my kids?"

"You know you might think about taking Jesus Christ as your savior instead of foolin' around with all this stuff."
"Ahh, Jesus. I like him very much. He no help with curve ball."
"Are you trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?"

I'm surprised this was overlooked:

This week's survey is incomplete without Caddyshack. Rodney Dangerfield's character alone is a fountain of memorable quotes.

Happy Hump Day.

Closest brush with death.

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!

What was your favorite game to play at the arcade when you were younger?

Any of the side-scrolling beat 'em ups. There's a whole bunch of them, but some of my favorites were the Golden Axe games and the TMNT games.

What game are you playing at, Paleocon?

Alas, I'll answer both!

When I was five years old I cracked my head open on the coffee table and lost a lot of blood. They insisted they couldn't numb the pain as the wound was too close to my eye, so they just stuck me in a straight-jacket, put a cloth over my face and held me down as they put the stitches in. My grandmom tried to calm me down by having me sing "Jesus Loves Me".

It didn't work.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game as a child, Area 51 as a teenager.

Almost drowned at Disney's River Country.

I usually wasn't allowed to play arcade games because my parents thought they were a waste of money (they are, but still...) Anyway, pinball. The flashier the better.

My favorite game was pretty much any light gun game. Area 51 and Lethal Enforcers were my usual go to.

I actually recall beating Area 51 on less than $1.00 at point. There was a group of friends that would go bowling a couple of times a week and I'd always play that when we were taking a break. Man, I love that game.

Haha - looks like we posted at the same time, Paleocon

Hah! I didn't even notice that Paleocon posted a question. I'm just so used to seeing you kick off this thing every week.

My pickup truck was hit by lightning while driving in a storm.

Mortal Kombat. I practiced the Kano heart punch over and over and over.
