Our family lives on cliches and quotes... Not sure if you've picked that up from my blog or not. I sometimes do use them quite by accident.
When dating Robb, he and his siblings would be in a conversation and suddenly quote some movie and then wait for the other to realize what they're quoting from. Modern day, we do that all the time in our immediate family and the kids have started picking this up.
Example... when daylight savings time kicks in, I'm constantly asking, what time is it in old time? To explain why I'm exhausted or still up. Robb says, "Live in the NOW, baby!" He added that "baby" part. Anyone know where that quote is from? No?! For the last several years, I thought he invented it.
This morning as I'm prying my eyes open to start the day, I flicked on the t.v. and Wayne's World had just started. So I set it to Tivo. For some reason we love that movie, as it's the very first movie that Ryan saw in the theatre. Ryan was a baby and we mostly took turns walking him in the lobby... Is that movie 18 years old?
So Wayne is drooling over a guitar in the window and saying "You will be mine, oh yes, you will be mine." I find myself using this type of quote all the time, not realizing where I got it. Then Garth yelled out to him, "Live in the Now!"
Aha!

SITS sent me by...Happy Tuesday. And I like to whisper, too!
Ha! These are funny! We do a lot of quotes too but I can't remember them on command! How did you compile that list off the top of your head??? :o)
Elle
Gosh! I love quoting those Napoleon Dynamite lines too :D Of course, we also like to say "idiot" just like Napoleon says it...
Stopping to welcome you to SITS. We're glad you joined!
Elle Bee - I IMed my husband. Then went thru IMDB for movies that I love and they have a quote page. When I saw certain ones that we use, I grabbed them. And Robb sent me back quite a few that we use too. In fact we were just talking about this this morning and that's where I thought of this list. I may have to make a part 2 to this. He's come up with more since...
we have lots of Princess Bride quotes around here too. and our Young Frankenstein is "Abby something, Abby Normal..." and we love Napoleon Dynamite too. movie cliches are cool.
We play this game too! And sometimes it is so frustrating trying to remember what movie a quote came from. And we are not going to help someone out either. I'll "chew" on a quote for days.
We use many of these same quotes and cliches. I may have to steal some others from you.
I did not make my daughter's dress at the cemetery. I wish I could say I did. It doesn't look like it would be too hard to make, though.
Fun list! I am always trying to remember good zingers from sitcoms like two and a half men that I can toss out whenever needed.
Thanks for the laugh. Now I know what my husband is talking about when hes talking to his friends on World Of Warcraft. Hahaha!
Great list, my husband is notorious for one liners. The problem is, I do not always get them or know where they came from. I'll be using some of these on him, thanks.
Jumped over to say, "Welcome to SITS" and to let you know I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card, come on over.
Hubby and I quote The Princess Bride all the time. "Inconceivable!"
I came by to welcome you to SITS! Welcome!
Oh, these are GREAT!! We movie speak at the manor, too, only with different quotes. A few from Princess Bride, as well. I might just have to do this one myself.
We do the same thing! My oldest son can quote entire movies! He's good like that. My youngest son's favorite is "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to DIE." Out of the blue he'll use that quote. Some of my favorites come from Steel Magnolias. Too many classics in there to quote them all, but Clairee's quote to Weezer, "...you know I love ya more'n my luggage" has got to be an all-time favorite for me.
Hey Napoleon...Can you give me a ride into town??
Make your self some dang Quesa-dillas!
two of our fav's
