I'm Stealing A Meme & There's Nothing You Can Do About It!!!

I've got writers block...AGAIN. So when I read the fabulous Bon Don's post yesterday about her top 10 movie characters I thought it was an actual good meme that I'd get in on. Yes, even though she didn't tag me. I don't care. It's my blog and I do what I want. So here goes...

My Top 10 Favorite Movie Characters (in no particular order):

10. Kate Hudson in "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" - For some reason I think what she does to him is hilarious and I could totally picture myself doing it. In fact I could totally picture Wade and I in most of these scenes. We even dress as matching couple sometimes (although it is always an accident, we are not "those" people!) :)


"Our love fern!!! You let it DIE!!!"

9. Uncle Rico in "Napoleon Dynamite" - This guy is such a loser that he is hilarious and lame at the same time and he makes me laugh (at him).


"How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind."

8. Matthew McCaughney in "Dazed and Confused" - First of all, even w/ that hair and those WAY too tight pants, he's still hot. Plus, one line says it all:

"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.."


7. Leslie Mann in "40 Year Old Virgin" - Okay, she's got a very small part in this movie but it's one of the most memorable scenes in the whole thing! When she is driving the big "V" home for some sex she is so wasted, swerving, hitting other cars, swearing, etc. and that scene had me cracking up!

"I'm starvin'. Let's get some fucking french toast."

6. Isla Fisher in "Wedding Crashers" - She's bat shit crazy in this one but hilarious at the same time. She goes from a said "virgin" to a sex fiend in 8 seconds flat. I guess I just love the crazies!

"Do you want to watch me with another girl? How about those Brazilian twins we met at the ball game?"

5. Jeff Bridges as The Dude in "The Big Lebowski" - Quite possibly one of the greatest movies of all time. I think I really like it b/c they say fuck so much. :) All he wants to do is relax, drink his White Russians and bowl but unfortunately for him he has some issues arise. And of course the Dude abides!!!

"I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."



4. Ben Stiller as Derek Zoolander in "Zoolander" - He can only make one face and can't make left turns. Plus he's a complete and utter moron, but so damn loveable.


"Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?"


3. Bill Murray as Carl Spackler in "Caddyshack" - I admit this movie as a whole is nothin but aces, but Carl puts the icing on the cake. He's a nut.

"I smell varmint poontang. And the only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang, I think."

2. Will Ferrell as Frank the Tank in "Old School" - Will is a funny guy, just think of him as George Dub on SNL or the video he did w/ Rose the "landlord" demanding rent. If you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and go to this link:

Hilarious!


Anyway, back to "Old School" his character is so hilarious. One of my favorite quotes of all times comes from his character in this movie. (Am I the only one who finds this funny? I hope not...)

"Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time."

1. And lastly, I can't pick just one so basically the entire cast of"Office Space" - Lumbergh, Milton, Michael Bolton, the 2 Quality Assessors, Peter, Joanna and Sampair. All of them are great. If you work in an office you will definitely get the humor:

"Oh, and remember: next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans."


I bet you thought I was going to end with the TPS reports quote didn't ya?

Common theme in all my favorites: Humor. You gotta make me laugh. Not that I don't like a serious flick every now and then but 9 times outta 10 I'm going to pick the comedy.

So which did I get right/wrong and what would you add? Since I was never "officially" tagged for this, I offer this challenge up to any of you who are like me and at a loss of other more creative things to post. I think I've just got spring fever and a lack of motivation right now to come up w/ something better. Sorry my loveybuns.

In other great and miraculous news: We are going to be putting up the new fence on the side yard this weekend! Has hell frozen over? Yay! And when I say "we" I mean Wade. He is handy, I am not. I'll be planting some new plants in the back yard. I'll be sure to show you all the before and after pics once we're done.
