An observation about a movie...

I've gotten used to a lot of my references going over the heads of my (mostly younger) coworkers. But the other day I menioned the comedian Steven Wright and got a room full of blank looks in return.

How could it be that Steven Wright has become one of those things that only old people know about? Why he was on the scene only, um... well...

Why it was just... er...

Damn. I guess that was about 20 years ago.

Yikes.

I never got my t-shirt

I still use, "I went to the 24 hour gym the other night. A guy was locking the front door. I said, 'hey, you're 24 hours!' and he said, 'yes, but not 24 hours in a row'".

or

"I was at a diner, and a sign said 'We serve breakfast at any time', so I order French toast in the Renaissance."

"I was at a diner, and a sign said 'We serve breakfast at any time', so I order French toast in the Renaissance."

I once asked a twenty-six-year-old coworker who her favorite James Bond was. She frowned, looked exasperated, and finally said, "I don't know. I guess it would be the one in the movies."

Stephen Wright was one of my top 5 faves:

You know when you're sitting on a chair, and you lean back so you're just on two legs, and then you lean too far and you almost fall over, but just at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time.

Just a few Wright favorites:

All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried

Yes, time has a way of doing things like that.

BTW, I dated a girl who was in that movie.

It's my all-time trivia question.

No one has ever guessed who.

I can't recall if I ever mentioned it to anyone here or not.

Otherwise, I would have offered restaurant gift
card to anyone who would be able to guess it.

It would be a safe bet for me, I'm certain. LOL

Anyway, it was a good flick!!!

jjjj:
That would be a tough trivia question, considering I can only find a listing of 7 actresses to appear in the movie. These would be my guesses
Eileen Brennan
Sally Kirkland
Paulene Myers
Ta-Tanisha
Patricia Bratcher
Susan French
Pearl Shear

When I worked at Red Rock, I was sent to the airport to pick up Marvin Hamlisch. We had a aegrt discussion about music on the way back to the property. When I returned I was all excited and told the other drivers and bellman that I had just driven Marvin Hamlisch to which they replied "Who?". It shocked me that they didn't know a composer who had won Emmys, Oscars and Tonys but I guess that's the generation gap.

P.S. - a Steve Wright favorite:

I used spot remover on my dog....now he's gone.
