You and Judd aren't secretly related, are you???

Sorry, Fish. The best X-Files episode ever is War of the Coprophages. I'm ready to throw down over that.

Fish, are you a mumbler? Because I'm married to one. All the little asides get mumbled so no one can appreciate them, except the mumbler.

So you mentioned Spike. I am so there when the conversation involves Spike. Or Firefly. I just realized I'm having withdrawal from both these subjects. If I could only get my book done!

So tell Lani I will be in contact soon to have our Spike conversation.

I see Lani beat you into submission over the yellow shirt and red pants ensemble. Good for her. :) It's been so long since I've seen The Ref that I have forgotten it. Must rent it when I am back home. Casa de Fish sounds like a riot. Happy holidays all.

DH and I watch The Ref every year -- it's our own little Christmas tradition. I knew I liked you guys for a reason.

Bad Blood ("I was drugged!" is part of the Quotese around here) and War of the Coprophages ("Her name is *BAMBI*?!") are both good, but I think Humbug edges them both out, if only for the fact that, thanks to demi-god writer Darin Morgan, much of the episode is devoted to making fun of David Duchovny/Mulder. "Imagine going through your whole life looking... just like him!"

Adam, when do I get to borrow your wife for a movie/rendezvous in Rochester?

I knew I liked you guys! Firefly? Buffy? X-Files? Why can't you two live closer?!?

Now I'm going to be quoting stuff all day.

"No, no, don't touch the hair."

David Duchovny directed this week's episode of BONES, which I really like (don't like the books they're based on, which is odd, but . . .)

I am so clueless. I am almost afraid to admit that I have never seen ANY of these shows! I never got the thing with Buffy--I don't particularly like vampires, so never felt an incredible urge to watch the show. Until y'all starting talking about "The Ref", I had never even heard of it! I must live a very insulated life...

Of course, it may be because we aren't big movie buffs here--I prefer reading a good book over watching a movie any day! But I loved the quotes and I love the fact that you guys do that! I've done stuff like that with friends but never my husband. He doesn't get it, bless his heart.

No, Alesia, he can't be related to Judd, because clearly, he's related to Lewis!

The movies/shows may change, but we have the quotes conversations. Many of them. Often involving "When Harry Met Sally," or "Parenthood" or "Bull Durham" (stop rolling your eyes, Alesia!) or any number of Adult Swim animated series.

Kinda scary when you find more of your tribe wandering about.

The Lost Tribe of Pithy Quotes

See this is why I love you guys here. My sister and I am constantly quoting movies all the time, and I am so glad to see that there are other people in the world that do too. And I guess that I need to hit the movie place and find a copy of The Ref since it is often quoted here as of late.

So I cheated and read the white print *g* But I have to see the ref now, some good lol quotes in there. And I love Spike, he had some of the best lines on Buffy

I think I saw the ref when it first came out on video, but I'll have to see it again. some of these quotes are too funny!
And Spike had some of the best lines on Buffy (I still remember when he was strapped to the chair in the thanksgiving episode yelling for help while arrows were being shot all around him)

I feel so lame. I've never seen the Ref either. About the only thing I've been known to quote is Monty Python, thanks to having friends in high school who were always quoting Monty Python. And the Count from Sesame Street. I find the latter really adds to the sense of accomplishment when cleaning.

I didn't know any of these quotes (sigh). We quote a lot of Monty Python and Austin Powers in my house. I took my 12 year old to see Spamalot and his favorite line was 'I fart in your general direction' (said with a bad french accent).
I also love 'Bones'. I have the whole 1st season reserved (free at my library) because I work a lot of Wednesday nights (at the library).

Oh yeah, I forgot to add--I totally get the "Fish On!" reference, however. And I've done the whole scene, fake orgasm and all, from "When Harry Met Sally"--THAT raises a few eyebrows, let me just tell you!! *grin* But not with my DH. Never mind--no matter what I say after this point is going to sound wrong... Leaving now. Y'all continue to talk quietly amongst yourselves.

The Ref? Loved it! And the Buffy ones are good too.
In my house, the most oft-quotes line is "Why a spoon, cousin?" I have no idea why we do that one, but it happens a LOT. Then it's gotta be "I'm bursting with fruit flavor", or "Screws fall out all the time". And of course, my boys always say "Two dollars! I want my two dollars!" and "I see your shwartz is as big as mine". According to my oldest daughter, living at our house is pretty much as close as you can get to living in a John Hughes film, but without all the cute guys.
And then again, my tag line as I leave the house to go off to work... "Have fun storming the castle!"
Yeah, it's good to live in my house.

You know the guy who played Spike's not really British? No lie.

The Ref is coming out of the garage tonight. Awesome.

"Use the ouchless ... We have bungee cords ... You want to have sex with him!"

LOL - you guys are killing me! Yes - all you guys must get The Ref and watch it immediately! You'll be glad you did!

"I think we need a ruling here..."

I could do this all day!

And, just so's you know, Fish isn't responding because... he SLEPT OUTSIDE A STORE last night for a Wii. Which I would think is crazy, ordinarily, but if you had any idea how excited my girls are going to be to play with it, you'd just think he's the best Daddy EVER.

Which, of course, he is. :)

And George - Fish does know that the actor isn't British, but I'm not in love with the actor. I'm in love with the character. As such, Fish has a little hostility. I don't know what's going to happen if we ever go to England; I'll have little crushes on every man we meet! I melt for the accent...

Oh, and...

"I feel sorry for the next delivery boy to come to this house!"

People, y'all really do need to watch The Ref. If you do watch it for the first time because of Fish, please come back and comment! I'm dying to hear your reactions!

I totally admit to cheat.. No, I admit to using the resources placed before me. Don't get Buffy, do get Vampire books, love Tempe Brennan and her sexy Canadian cowboy Andrew Ryan

Bargaining (Part 1) (Season 6)

BUFFYBOT: (triumphantly) That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo!

SPIKE: (to Willow) What's with the Dadaism, Red?

TARA: Yeah, she says that pie thing every time she stakes a vamp now.

WILLOW: I-I don't know, I was trying to program in some new puns and I kinda ended up with word salad.

BUFFYBOT: I think it's funny.

WILLOW: It's a glitch, I'll fix it.

GILES: We just can't have her messing up in front of the wrong person. Or the wrong thing. We, we need the, the world and the underworld to believe that Buffy is alive and well.

WILLOW: And I will therefore fix it. I got her head back on, didn't I? And I got her off those knock-knock jokes.

BUFFYBOT: Ooh, who's there?

XANDER: You know, if we want her to be exactly-

SPIKE: She'll never be exactly.

XANDER: I know.

TARA: The only really real Buffy is really Buffy.

GILES: And she's gone.

BUFFYBOT: 'If we want her to be exactly she'll never be exactly I know the only really real Buffy is really Buffy and she's gone' who?

Ok, so I'm a little behind in my blog reading. I blame it on the shelves.

But.... I love the quotes. Eileen and I have decided to get The Ref and re-watch it. I personally have no memory for quotes until I've seen something 2 or 3 times... BUT...

Love Buffy. Love Angel & Spike (Marsters is a musician, too - somewhere I have some grain video of him doing "Angel from Montgomery"). Love Firefly. We do the moie quoting thing sometimes, but usually it's song lyrics. Occasionally sung, but often just quoting the lines back and forth while the kids look on in a mixture of horror and amusement. When we start singing jingles, the amusement goes away....

Sadly my fellow quote geeks are all spread around. Mental note: must recruit new local quote geek friends. I got the "Buffy" ones, clearly need to rewatch "The Ref".

BWAH!

Have now added The Ref to the Netflix queue. Because anyone who loves Buffy (own it), Firefly (own it), and X-Files (Luke Wilson as the vampire sheriff is still one of my favorite episodes ever), would not steer me wrong!

Hmmm...I think the holiday break is the perfect time to rewatch all of the above...

Ok, I've seen The Ref before, and I totally loved it, but we didn't own it. So, I picked it up the other day. Now, I remembered that some of the language wa a bit strong for wee little ears, but I thought the older kids could handle it. What I didn't count on was the 5yo waking up from a dead sleep on the couch when she heard DIEGO's voice (from ICE AGE), and not wanting to budge until the movie was over. We let her watch the whole thing, with the agreement that none of them were allowed to quote lines from that movie.
But wanna know something? They all LOVED it. We've had it in the house for 4 days, and I think they've watched it 6 times. Thanks for the reminder of how great it is!

Just now reading this blog entry. Okay, you sold me. I'm going out today and renting The Ref.

Fish - You're not alone. I too slept outside a store to buy the WII. But I still have one up on you, I was RECOVERING FROM SURGERY! Oy! I deserve the Mother-Of-The-Year award for that.

Yay! I'm spreading "Ref" fever. We should have a live online chat while we all watch it in sync!

Okay. Too geeky? Well, can't say you weren't warned!

Dia - you won't be sorry!

Dee - Hey, does your 5yo sing the "I hope she fries/I'm free if that bitch dies" line from the Buffy musical? Light did when she was 5.

To MY MOTHER.

Janina - You are HARD CORE! Wow. I'm in awe. I hope your kids appreciate it!

I went to YouTube and watched some clips from the movie "The Ref" and now I remember it. And I have to own it. I was cracking up just at the little vignettes--think how much funnier they must be in context! "Can we have a ruling here?" LOL!
