Obscure References (1 Viewer)

I just threw in an obscure reference on a post for another thread. (something about wanting a yellow jumpsuit like those in the movie "Bottle Rocket") Maybe we should have a thread about obscure references.

For instance, someone could simply post the word "silica" on any post and anyone who frequents the After Hours Lounge would know what he/she is talking about. Same thing with "(blank) is not as good as the (blanks) at the Mall of America."

So I say let's make a game of it. I'll give an obscure reference and you try to guess it. Try to give as much background info on the reference to show that you have a firm understanding of the reference's meaning and its origins.

The first one's a relative softball pitch:



Feel free to submit your own.

But I dont' wanna be a pirate!

The Puffy Shirt, need I say more?

In the recent Professional Dodge Ball thread I mentioned the Chinese would surely dominate. No one seemed to pick up on that one. Any guesses?

I read that thread and missed that reference the first time. This is taken from Southpark. Thank God for Pip. He saved the day.


OK here's an one that I used about one month ago when I went to a CD store with my gf. She didn't get it.

Me--"Hey, babe. Let's go in here and see if they have Mojo Nixon. If they don't have Mojo Nixon then this store could use some fixin'."

She--"Who's Mojo Nixon."

Me--"Nevermind."

 

[Jesse Skeen]

Mojo Nixon? He don't work here!

 

[Jack Shappa]

Hunter, I'll bet your girlfriend's father took one look at you and he began to squeal.

gotta love the movie quote web sites

My fav movies to quote in daily conversation are :
1. Boogie Nights
2. Dazed and Confused
3. Star Wars (any of them)
ie, "I wanna dance!", "marjuana on one, reefer on two", "im a f**king idiot, im a f**king idiot" (I say that alot), "I get older, they stay the saaame age" , "So, are we gonna f**k?", "not bad for a little fuzzball"

 

[Ted Lee]

"He don't even have his license, Lisa!" -Weird Science. Awesome flick.

doh!

although relatively easy, people who don't know movies never get this one either.

In my newsgroup posting days, my entire signature file was filled with quotes from "Heathers".

 

[Ted Lee]

ohh...heathers...great choice. "heather, why are you pulling my dick?"

 

[Matt Gordon]

"Mongo... Santa Maria!"

1.) What movie?

2.) Why was this funny?

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

It was said in Blazing Saddles, and it's the name of a late jazz player.

 

[Patrick Sun]

"If you want to f*** with the eagles, you have to learn how to fly."

(Yes, I've found my file of quotes from "Heathers")

 

[Jeremy Jones]

Smart as paint, you are.

"My teeth are itching! My teeth are itching!"

or the infamous...

"Don't color the dogs until the holes are in"

"What?"

"Don't color the dogs until the holes are in"

"What??"

"Sorry. I mean 'Don't COUNT the dogs until the holes are in"

and lastly...

"When I say 'Towers' I of course mean 'Tunnels going into the ground'."
