yin: ”When Harry Met Sally?”
yang: “Sure. And after that we can put on the cooking channel, then you can teach me to knit an afghan, then you can cut off my balls. Or maybe we could just watch, say, Bullitt, instead.”

Reminds me of my favorite Faulty Towers quote.
Cybil warns Basil: “you know what I’ll do if I find out that you placed that bet….”
Basil replies: “you’ll have to sew them back on, first!”
Yep…Bullitt! Or maybe Cool Hand Luke…that’s the ticket!
You know, Yang complains about watching chick flicks, but how many fricken times have I been FORCED to endure Hoosiers. And, don’t even get me started on The Natural.
Split the difference and watch Super Troopers or Road Trip. Potty humor. Always appropriate.
It could’ve been worse, might have been The Big Chill.
<shudders>
Carin, Hoosiers and The Natural are chick flicks for men.
No, Shaving Ryan’s Privates is a chick flick for men.
Ahhh. Well, those two rank up on that list of movies that NEVER get turned off. Add to it, of course Diehard, Benhur, Gladiator … the list goes on. I mean, how many times can you watch the same movie?
Encourage her to enjoy Bring it On, because everybody’s happy watching cheerleaders.
Rent “The Notebook.” You will cry like a baby.
For single guys, rent it with your date. she will need comforting. Trust me on this.
Plus..it’s good. It really is.
yin: “Sure. And after that we can put on Monster Garage, and then you can teach me how to sit around like a slob in torn boxers and a wifebeater T-shirt with pit stains slurping down beer after beer while watching games on tv all day long.. ya..ya.. and then I can learn how to wear flannel and combat boots and I can butch my hair and find me a hot little lipstick girlfriend that knows something about tribbing.. then I can divorce you and take everything youve got..INCLUDING your balls.. How ‘bout that?!!”
yang: ”When Harry Met Sally it is then ….”
You know, from recent stories in the news, I don’t think I will ever, even casually or sarcastically, offer to have my balls cut off.
Because if she took me up on that offer… and with judges admiting hearsay evidence that I had once wished to have them cut off, she would probably walk. Not to mention the 7 figure book and film deal…
Can’t you watch both, or better yet, splice the two together?
Billy Crystal in a high speed chase…could be fun.
yin: If you plan on having what she’s having, you’ll put When Harry Met Sally on…
Turing word: instead
ya, instead of Bullitt
So if McQueen had been driving a Honda Element what would they have named the movie? Poindexter?
DO NOT DISPARAGE THE WONDERFULLY UTILITARIAN AND BOXY FUNLOVING HONDA ELEMENT—THE ULTIMATE 21st CENTURY SURF WAGON!
I aint disparaging the Element. Just the people who drive them. Poindexter.
I drive a 1994 Wrangler Sahara. Or a Toyota Land Cruiser. Depending on the day.
But I almost drove an Element. And I’m so cool you could pack an donor organ under my arm and it’d be fine for a week to 10 days, or until I finished having sex with Jessica Alba and her friends—whichever came first.
Got the 2 1/2 y/o twin grandsons visiting
One more go around with Nemo and I’m OUTTA HERE (the seagulls creep me out)
Jeff, don’t you feel guilty driving those gas guzzlers? I know I feel real bad driving my Durango. I bet ol’ Steverino coulda had some fun running over some hippie types in our autos.
1979 Jeep Cherokee with green housepaint and an AMC 360. Two and a half tons of gas guzzling. Baby.
When you hit the gas you can smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust. We’re going to hell.
We have a 1990 Isuzu Trooper. I feel so dirty when I drive it. Dirty yet somehow exalted.
2000 Jeep Cherokee for me.. When I got , it gave pretty good gas mileage.. So good in fact that it made me feel like a sissy ass liberal.. so I took it down to the local garage and had ‘em detune it some.. Now I get a respectable and masculine 8 miles to the gallon hwy.. 4 in the city..
All right, that would be the second time Baboon has made me laugh recently.
I’d MUCH rather watch guy flicks than chick flicks and I’m confidently hetero. Who in their right mind WANTS to get depressed and cry—especially over FAKE characters? At least with most guy movies you get a good lookin’ guy to distract you from the lack of plot.
I make it a rule to avoid any movie with “Ya Ya” (or some word similarly stupid-sounding) in the title, and anything with Natalie Portman that doesn’t contain a light saber.

Bbeck, I am absolutely with you. Give me Aliens or The Terminator or Road Warrior any day. Better looking men for one thing. Getting dirty and sweating and doing guy things. Doesn’t get any better than that.
You KNOW it, Gail. My most-viewed DVD collections are the Alien Quadrilogy, The Planet of the Apes set, and “I, Claudius” for the occasions I want some non-chick-like plot. Nothin’ like a little variety.
I could also quote the movie “Zulu” from memory.

The Element is the stupidest looking car on the road. The pinto of the day. HORRIBLE. It looks like a UPS box driving down the road.
I zip by in my silver Navigator cuz I am a rich republican with my legs waxed and tanned and my hair highlighted and glossed.
Don’t you just love America?
Republican Barbie, Sparkle? (In a nice way! Nice way!)
Right on Rightwingsparkle !
Finally someone has the cajones to observe that the emporer is naked.. The element IS ugly.. even the Pinto was alright if you put on some mags and a good underdash 8-track with Jenson 6×9” coaxials in the back.. But the ELEMENT ? You cant even pimp that ride.. (unless just maybe you hang a surfboard out the back..that might save it)
‘got an 04’ Honda and we call it a woody..
(Surf City here we come..)
Its not very sexy, kinda dorky but a goodie..
(Surf City here we come..)
It’s got no backseat or rear window,
But it still gets me where I wanna go…
You know were gonna surf city cuz its 2 to 1
Yeah were gonna surf city gonna have some fun
You know were gonna surf city cuz its 2 to 1
Two girlz for every guuuuuyyyy!!!
-Jeff and Dean
If I wasn’t dead I would probably put on my surfer shirt and watch Hullabaloo. Thanks Alpha for remembering the oldies.
Ana, I would need a hell of alot more than waxing, tanning, and highlights to be a Barbie…thats for sure. Breats implants, taking about 18 yrs off, and finding that awesome but gay looking Ken with the real hair and turning his gay a** around….
I’ve been on Spring break with about 100 kids, can you tell?
