So how come no one ever uses "--2: On The Move"?

Huh?

Wow! When I read the Red Dawn one, I thought: that's the one to beat! I guess I was right.

Very clever, all!

Posted by: MM at October 21, 2011 1:15 PM

Yeah, Red Dawn was one of my favorites. Throwing out the decade, Jaws was one of my other favorites. Good job, everyone!

Clever Is Clever.

The end of Beastie Boys' Egg Man was playing in iTunes as I was reading the one for Jaws...

Second what , said. Thanks!

Posted by: mc at October 21, 2011 1:59 PM

Yay, thanks!

Damn, that Mannequin one is super depressing!

This was one of the best comment diversions ever. Congrats to El L Cool J!

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at October 21, 2011 2:31 PM

Test post.

Congrats to El L Cool J and everyone else! Such a fun contest!

It was taking me FOREVER to post this because that fail message kept poking up. Not too sure what i did wrong.

Thanks for the recognition of us eejits that didn't read the original post properly!

(grumble, grumble, EIGHTIES? grumble)

I liked Derreck's better, but nice work El L Cool J.

Posted by: prairiegirl at October 21, 2011 7:36 PM

This was indeed a fun diversion. I read every one of the 170 comments, and my favorite is MelBivDevoe's short but funny take on the classic Scarface quote. It also immediately reminded me of a well-known Simpsons' moment:

In America, first you lose the women, then you lose the power, then you lose the sugar.

Bravo, everyone!

We should do another contest soon even if there is no prize. How about a things that aren't worse than Hitler contest? Everyone is always talking about things that are worse than him, how about things that aren't? Like I can't Believe It's Not Butter. Seriously, I can't believe it.

I was gonna submit this but was too late: ECNADHSALF - a young woman working as a prima ballerina for a prestigious ballet company sleeps with the wrong older man, and it ruins her career and she's forced to work as an exotic dancer in seedy clubs at night, while working as a welder during the day.
