One of the rare movies that I thought was funny as a kid, and now as an adult I find it just as funny.

The department store scene was filmed on the 2nd floor at what was then Goudchaux's at Cortana (now Dillards).


I thought it was the Main St. Goudchaux's.

Cdawg, you going to check the Cult on tour soon?

If I could get yard pass from the wife I would. It's kinda tough with 2 chaps under 3.

BTW, what in the hell is your sig in reference to?

I hear ya. I am going to the show in Houston, likley...although Dallas is a possibility instead.

As for the sig quote, Bad Cat made that comment today about MSU vs. LSU in football. Apparently, losing 3 out of 10 contests to State in the 90's constitutes as such.

Awesome movie, watched it again last night. Where were they when the kid has the LSU hat on? I thought it was southern's campus, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't even in Baton Rouge.

My bullet points:

--my aunt was an extra with a line in the garden party, but it got cut out. They spilled a huge thing of beans in her lap and she said "oh, my pretty dress". They literally dumped beans on her like 5 times but still didn't use it.

--the playhouse that the kid had in his room ended up in my friend's backyard on Highland Park Drive. We could see it from the bus every morning and people were jealous as shite of him.

--a relative of mine owned an auto shop up in north BR that serviced Rolls Royce's - including the Toy. For my 9th birthday he took me for a long drive in it out in the country.

--my aunt said the same thing about Gleason but that Pryor was a sweetheart.

Interesting that nobody has mentioned what happened to ol' Eric down the line!

"Eric" was also in A Christmas Story, Kidco, and a few other unnotables.


But porn? Really?
