No Whining Allowed

 One of our all time favorite movies is “That Thing You Do!”. We highly recommend it. Give it a whirl, I dare you not to LOVE it!

 We have gleaned a whole barrel  of ins and isms from it. It is amazing how often we can weave, or maneuver them into a conversation!

1.You’ve gotta be quick with me, I’m from Erie, Pa. Said when you realize you have finally caught on to what was being said! OR if someone realizes that you DID catch onto something quickly. Dual usage!

2.Your talkin’ gibberish! another phrase for, you are kidding me!

3.It is very important that you don’t stink tonight.   Hey I make no guarantees.    I personally said this to The Boy EVERY morning when I dropped him off at summer school. And he made no guarantees.  But he did get 2 B’s on his report card, WOO HOO!!!!

4.Breath, Good? Bad?  self explanatory

5.How did we get here? I led you here, because I. am. Spartacus.  I believe The Boy uses this to toot his own horn.

6.We’re not The Wonder’s, were Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters!   believe it or not, we get this into conversations! I guess we would accuse someone of being something and be corrected by this statement!

7.You ARE my biggest fan. Whenever WE are impressed with someone else!

8.Guys, Chad fell down.  The Boy actually recreated this scene as his MySpace picture. Except he did NOT break his arm. Clever, I know. We use it whenever someone does something clumsy.

9.Look at you, you’re no good to me now. said lovingly to someone who is impressively excited.

10.We were pretty wild up there in Erie Pa.  Yeah, there was this one time we stayed up way past midnight.  used when teasing someone who thinks they are “all that”

11. I like Wisconsin!   When things are going swell!

12. Lenny, go visit the Captain, tell him it’s your birthday. used whenever someone is being annoying.

Not only do we use these sayings on a regular basis, we are not ashamed to say that we own the sound track. And we do a “wicked” version of “Hold My Hand, Hold My Heart” by The Chantrellines, including choreographed motions and and hand claps!

Oh, Guy’s, if you haven’t seen this one, you have GOT to rent it. It’s a classic “major motion picture!”
