Notes and Quotes . . . Um, 4?

What, no one knows the answer to my movie trivia subhead? Come on, think early '90s. Think of silk shirts, braided belts, and long ties with jeans. Think of a time when the mustaches of the '80s were being replaced with the gotees of awesomeness. Think Street Fighter 2, Troy Aikman, Ford Explorers, Darkwing Duck, wind pants, corded car phones, Home Improvement, Lion King, Norm Macdonald, Nirvana live unplugged, 3 Ninjas, Czech Republic, the 60 Mhz Pentium 1 with a 2-gig hard drive and Windows 3.1. Someone's gotta know.

Ellie saying prayers before dinner: Thank you for mommy and daddy and Walker and Ellie and the new baby and bad Jesus.

Carla and the kids bought 3 pumpkins for decorations the other day.
Carla to Walker: The big one's for you because your the biggest, the little one's for the new baby because the new baby's the littlest, and the medium one is for Ellie.
Walker: Because she's the mediumest?

Walker describing his recent Wii boxing match: Daddy, I lost to the third guy but I wonned the first two.
Me, assuming the guys had names: Who was the third guy?
Walker: He was in the green underpants and I was in the blue underpants.

My professor on Tuesday: . . . Wah Wah Wah (or however you spell the trombone sound that the teacher in Peanuts makes) Wah Wah Wah, and this, of course, is Einstein's theory of quantum mechanics.

Of course.

3 Nijas.

OK, I cheated and Googled it, but still. Anything to keep you from reminding us of the early 90's again.

The question is "who said it?", not "what movie is it from?". Keep trying.

"Tum Tum" along with, maybe, "Colt," allegedly while playing Super Mario Brothers 3, and if I'm wrong I don't even care because I've now officially spent way, way, way too much time on this.

I totally knew that Tum Tum said that (with his mouth full of Twizlers)...how about this one: "That's not a knife. This is a knife."

Crocodile Dundee. Said by Crocodile Dundee. Before slashing some punk kid's red vinyl coat.

At least that one didn't take me four tries!

That wasn't just some punk kid. That was Theo.
