Bye-bye boys...have fun stormin' the castle

Ever since I can remember, my friends and I have been quoting movies. Starting back when "The Sandlot" came out and my cousins and I could be heard for miles around screaming "You're killing me, Smalls!" to just last week when I had a "Dumb & Dumber" quote off with my best friend via the phone.

("Harry...I took care of it.")

Well, now someone has actually studied this phenomenon, according to CNN. Richard Harris, a psychology professor at Kansas State University, asked hundreds of young adults about their movie quoting habits and discovered that it works much like jokes as an effort to form solidarity with other people.

So warriors, come out and play to a place where the beer flows like wine. Even if your biological clock is TICKING...LIKE...THIS and you're jealous that I've been online chatting with hot babes all day, don't worry. It's not inconceivable!

I know what you're thinking...surely you can't be serious. But I am serious...and don't call me Shirley. Because if you build it, they will come and we all know there is no crying baseball. So say hello to my little friend and be sure to remind him that fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

And even though you're wondering what is this? A center for ants? I would just like to say that I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by. So if I'm not back in five minutes, just wait longer and remember, if you ain't first, you're last.

And in closing, I'd just like to say then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg—isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America.

Gentlemen!

(P.S. I love lamp).

(P.S.S. That was my skull. I'm so wasted!).
