1. Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
(Monty Python/Holy Grail, guessed by
sosostris2012)
2. I'm smitten. I am in deep smit.
(So I Married An Ax Murderer)
3. I was named after St Augustine who coined my favorite phrase: Give me chastity and give me constancy, but do not give it yet.
(The Saint)
4. We are destined to flunk most egregiously tomorrow.
(Bill & Ted guessed by
sosostris2012)
5. And, to finish the job, all the Zorg oldies but goldies: rocket launcher; arrow launcher, with exploding or poisonous gas heads; our famous net launcher; and, the always efficient flame thrower--my favorite; and, for the grand finale, the all new Ice Cube System.
(The 5th Element guessed by
sosostris2012)
6. First, I will use you as a human shield.
(True Lies)
7. Just because we have chiselled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we, too, can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
(Zoolander guessed by--yep--
sosostris2012)
8. It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.
(Napoleon Dynamite guessed by
greenlight711)
9. How can you love someone so much you just met?
(Where The Heart Is)
10. We’d better head home before peace breaks out in France, God forbid.
(Master And Commander)
No writing happened tonight. You can blame the Star Wars Kid. Once you watch one video, you just can't stop. The funny thing is, as tears stream down my face, I realize I'm not laughing at Ghyslain at all, but at myself. Because HOLY COW I'm so glad MY home videos from high school aren't available on the web. I remember one in particular I put together with my brother involving a G.I. Joe figurine and lighter fluid and a cleverly placed rubber tube. We called it "The Perfect Fart." I'm so ashamed. And I'm signing off before any other true confessions poke through my carefully sculpted disguise of propriety.

You know my four year old nephew just got to see him as well. I gave lightsabers to my nephews for Christmas and my brother wanted to show him lightsaber duels online. So he looks at Lucas's sight and finds nothing. Instead he went to the video with Star Wars Kid and special effects. My nephew loved it. And he wasn't laughing. He thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever saw and wanted to see it again and again.
Ghyslain rules!!!
:D

Do you really think you've sculpted your disguise that well? I see right through you!

Fortunately, "The Perfect Fart" did not survive the winter flooding of '89.

"Look at the size o' that boy's HEEED!!!"

"It's like an orange on top of a toothpick!"
It really is one of Myers' better works... But yeah, it's a big favorite of my younger brother and older sister, so I've been exposed to it quite a bit.
And another mystery is solved -- I've been wondering who I knew who had the River icon with that quote on it.
