I forgot about commercials, they stick too. :)<br /><br />Lisa,<br />We probably all use more than we think, including as Joylene mentioned, commercials.

My family also quotes movie lines. The quote from "Sweet Home Alabama" ("Why do you want to marry me anyhow?" "So I can kiss you anytime I want.") has known many variations in our household. Also, from "Dirty Dancing", the famous, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner," has also been used and used again by our family.

I've got a hopeless memory for quotes, movie lines etc .. but I get inspiration from hearing snippets of interest, which then tie in with other things .. <br /><br />I'd love to 'have' music, poetry, quotes in me .. but they all slip away .. I love them - but the brain just doesn't retain them .. sad but there it is ..!!

LOL Oh yeah, we have many quotes from the Princess Bride and other movies, which we apply (mostly my daughters and I) to other situations that make them humorous, well, at least to us. My daughters even invented a game where we'd take turns quoting a quote and seeing who could guess the movie. If we couldn't guess, that person got another turn. If we could, it would be our turn. ;o)Carol Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-47093538918737871372010-12-06T20:19:51.263-05:002010-12-06T20:19:51.263-05:00Kristen,
