“… it’s sorta social,
demented and sad, but social“
i have quoted that line ( not verbatim..just the “demented and sad..but social” part )- since seeing that movie at ? 12? 13??
One of my most stirring emotional memories from that bizarre ‘Pre-teen,pre-potsmoke/parent-liquor-stealing-shitmix-drinking/jaded-but-not-really-just-sheltered’ periods in my life..is from the afternooon after seeing The Breakfast CLub .
laying on some BFF du jour’s, trampoline, – making a SERIOUS..crossed-ur-heart pact /promise all due to swirling rushes of so much awesomeness.. stemming from post breakfast club glow :
man. muggy white summer sky orange and blue trampolines, dualling lacoste shirts, swatches-mouthes full of braces..and minds rushing rushing …with some-yet unidentified feeling ..
of impending adventures…excitement beyond our scope of articulation:
of indendence..of rebellion
a sense of hope

You Rule-
For me it’s a tie between “That man is a brownie hound.” and “Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?” Classic Bender right there.
Did you see this when he first passed?

He was a really rare class act. I think that goodhearted innocence of his permeated all his work. I always just felt comforted watching his movies.
Hey Allison… I’m Mo, friends of your Mum’s. I chatted with her yesterday on the way down to YVR to see tool…she seems upset AGAIN!! Your Mum’s an awesome gal, it seems you two always have something to try and square away, just sending my mojo and kudos in hopes all goes well. Concert was alright – seemed everyone was a bit tense. All the best, maybe one day we’ll meet, in the meantime, I’ll keep an eye and an ear on yer Mum :)
Namaste,
Mo
