Subject: The "This was not a boating accident" thread...

A friend (Spook) and I have been playing movie-lines, giving quotes from flicks and seeing if the other can guess them. It's a game which begun some 6-8 weeks ago when, after watching Back to the Future again, I was running around saying to everybody the George McFly-line, "Why do you keep following me...?"

Anyway, I thought I'd bring the game to the Board...(before printing quotes out on cards with the answers on the back, making some fancy packaging, and marketing it retail for $149.95)...and let it be ongoing between the posters.

The rules? Only three, that I can think of.

1) It has to be a complete line. And getting a bit of it wrong is fine as long as it doesn't change the context of the line.

2) No "lines" which are used repeatedly in movies, like cliches. Example: "You're hurting me," (generally used when a couple are having an argument, and the male grips the female by the line).

3) Finally, while lines don't have to come from mainstream or commercial flicks, don't quote a line from something few people would've seen...like a Jean-Claude Van Dam movie. Somebody did that to me once. What a surprise I didn't know it.

Well, hope everybody understands...
