Oh come on, there are thousands of films set in the US!

Ouch. If it wasn't so funny, that comment would hurt. My wife and I actually bought the Pimsleur Spanish so that we can work with our kids on Spanish.

(I speak French & English and she speaks German & English. It comes in really handy when we get angry because neither of us understand the insults being slung back and forth, so our feelings don't get hurt.)

Isn't it "Goosenarg"? Or is that the word that you say when you feel like a response is needed, but you have no idea what to say?

Man! Do I miss Douglas Adams! GRHS.

No, but the film is set in a Spanish-speaking country, so you win one Smartie! What colour would you like?

Unfortunately, I can't eat Smarties any more... whenever I eat any sort of chocolate I get a bad headache within a couple of hours. It's extremely frustrating because I really like chocolate

Wasn't the word 'Mormon'?

Being a cretin Mormon would probably be an oximormon, which is a person who comes to your door and leaves a lot o bullsh!t behind.

It's a really (really (really)) obscure reference from a film -- something random to say when you want to confuse your co-converser. A free packet of Smarties to the first person who can identify it!

BTW, I'm the same with memory. 60 years from now, I'll be sitting in the old folks home with no clue about significant moments in my life -- but I'll be able to remember the secret exit to Donut Plains Ghost House. Bleh.

Okay Mike, what is it with you, Susanna and the four puppies?

So this is the third time!

Note: must remember to curse my memory for wholly irrelevant things, which also lets me forget everything that is important.
