“Hey, Stevie Noodleman! Yeah, I’m talking to you, jerk! Everybody at school says you were mouthing off about how you were gonna beat me up after recess! Well, here I am, punk! Come up here and say it to my face! What’s the matter, you chicken alla sudden? Not so tough now, are you, Mr. Big Talk?”
It’s good to have backup, Andrew Y.
I would not mess with mom. Bebeh is adorbs.
That is one stern looking mama owl but I bet she’s just a big softy at heart.
I love frogmouths.
This little guy will be like Ralphie when he grows up!
I think I might be one of the very few people on this planet not to like this movie.
Actually, I’m not a fan, either.
Never saw it; never wanted to.
Um. What? It’s a classic. And hilarious.
If we all liked the same things, the world would be a boring place.
“A Christmas Story”? It’s okay, probably a bit oversold. My favorite thing about it is how it resolves the problem of swearing in a family movie.
Maybe it depends on your age when you first saw it? There are movies that I loved as a kid and would watch year after year (pre-VCR) that now are sorta…eh? I admit to watching A Christmas Story at this time every year as a background to wrapping presents or putting up decorations, same as It’s a Wonderful Life.
I have no strong feelings on the movie, either way. I haven’t watched it in years; I think I was in my mid-late 20s when I first saw it all the way through. I don’t know if they still do 24 Hours of A Christmas Story on Christmas, but they used to play it all day long (I forget what channel it was). One year my brother and I were both sick with colds, so my parents just made dinner for the four of us instead of going to the big family Christmas. We spent the day in the living room, alternating between A Christmas Story and a Trading Spaces marathon on TLC. Haven’t watched it since.
OMG that was such a great scroll down Mike! I just HOOTED out loud. 🤣🤣
My big mouth nearly got me into trouble today at the mall. Hubby and I were having coffee in the food court. A few tables away, a lady carrying a baby dressed in a Santa suit sat down, pulled up her shirt and began breastfeeding without covering up. Without thinking, irrepressible me started singing “I saw mommy nursing Santa Claus”. The maintenance lady behind me whooped with laughter and lost her broom off her pushcart. People turned to see what was going on, and I was roughly the same colour as baby Santa’s sleeper, from laughing. Hubby pretended he wasn’t there, but he was laughing, too. No one else heard, but I can imagine the story making its way around the mall by closing time.
I have no problem with mothers nursing in public, but that is REALLY funny! WTG, Duckie!
I concur on both fronts. You’re getting coal this year, Duckie!
