kristy swanson rules as girl who beckons duckie
that soundtrack was super awesome and i still have my cassette and play it occasionally

Smiths, New Order, OMD, Psych Furs - these are a few of my favorite things

I never said anything bad about the soundtrack!

oh i know i am just defensive about my embarrassing pretty in pink love

also, guys, james spader as stef one of the top 5 villain performances of all time. so hot!

"i've been out with a lot of girls at this school. i don't see what makes you so different."

So when L and I lived in England he tried for a while to find P in P for me on DVD but it hadn't been released in the UK. He finally found it and excitedly ordered it for me and had it delivered to his office as we did with all packages. The day it was delivered he was talking to a bunch of people while opening his mail and they all saw him take Pretty in Pink out of the envelope only it wasn't the P in P we're talking about here. It was a porn that he'd just opened in front of his manager.

!!!

xp - i had a bf in college that looked like James Spader - he was an asshole

x-post lol yep! Thankfully his manager was an awesome guy but they all made fun of him as he tried to explain the mix up and it took a while for him to live it down.

Don't I know you from somewhere? Gym. Your name's Jim?

nice pearls, honey. this isn't a dinner party.

ohhhhhhhh don't get me started it's all going to come out in a flood.

I know, I know. Me too.

omg E. that is hilarious!

what about Iona!? She was the best thing in the movie! I will admit her speech alone is the reason I went to prom.

yes totes she is great.

Yeah Annie Potts was amazing.

the cherish scene has stayed with me

now i have cherish in my head + the image of annie potts's beehive in that scene.

heh - i was just wondering - who played Molly Ringwald's awesome friend?

thought of this thread yesterday - a male friend referred to the pee style as the "ladyfunnel" - also, going back to something way way upthread, had conversation with another girl about pubescent memories of seeing David Bowie's junk in Labyrinth - this made quite an impression on her, again, I have no memory of this, I only remember the boots. I had such a wholesome upbringing.

oh! that reminds me of the name of the thing my mom bought me when i turned 16. i got my driver's license and she presented me with "le funnelle", a female urinary aid. "you know, just in case you really have to pee by the side of the road at some point. just keep them in your glove compartment. let's hope you never need them." she also forced me to tote around a reflective thermal blanket just in case i got into an accident in the winter.

it was a little box of paper funnels that you hold up to your crotch and pee into. they were disposable.
i tried one once inside (in a bathroom) to see if they worked, and they did. never had to use one on the road, though.

wow - your mom is even more pragmatic than mine! Mine would always tell me to make sure to wear clean underwear and would regularly buy me flashlights to keep in the car.

If you have to pee by the side of the road, why not just squat? Especially if you are 16 and have young knees.

I rewatched Labyrinth a couple of months ago and I was pleased at how well it held up and shocked (seriously) at David Bowie's wang in those pants.

she didn't want me to worry about getting pee on my clothes!

that was what this girl was saying (about Labyrinth holding up)

Also, every time I discuss this movie, I get the "You remind me of the babe What babe? The babe with the power!" song in my head. Also, have we already talked about the line "Smack that baby, make him pee"? Because what the hell. And, in conclusion:

also squatting is undignified, but standing and peeing like a man with a proper paper funnel penis is ok

I wish I could find this letter (one of very few) that my grandmother wrote to me when I lived in Colorado in which she describes having to stop and pee by the side of the rode while wearing an all purple outfit and accidentally falling over, but, being old, being unable to stop peeing, which in turn made her laugh, which made her pee harder, and it is one of the funniest things I have ever read in my life. My grandmother is also short and round, and she described herself as a "little grape" in her all purple outfit.

haha i rewatched labyrinth several months ago b/c my bro txted me to say he was watching it on tv. i starting watching on komputor and txted back "i forgot that this was a movie about david bowie's package!!"

welcome back roxy!

i have a mikita - it used to be my mom's so it's got sentimental value - but mikitas are kinda wussy compared to Dewalts

My mom recently got a small ryobi hand drill that I want. I have a junky old box of tools that I need to clean out and update. I like stuff like this:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b74/righteouskate/flora-tools-wrench.jpg

xp to roxy: The worst hotel I ever stayed at was in southwest Georgia. You could see the sky through a hole in the ceiling patched with rotting wooden boards and there was carpet. in the bathroom. the bathroom. It was squishy and moldy.

ryobi's are kinda crappy drills, tbh -

it's basically: dewalt >>>>>>> mikita >>>>>>>>> ryobi

Really? That ryobi is pretty sturdy.

depends on what you're using it for ... why am i being a power tool snob on ilx, that's totally retarded.

Every drill I've used besides the Ryobi has been a standard sized dewalt though and they are definitely good. But I don't have anything really to compare it to as the Ryobi my mom has is wee. I used the dewalt to put together a fan and to drill one of my book cases to the wall because it has a tendency to lean on carpet. The Ryobi I just used to put together a small cabinet and to fasten a shelf to a wall. Both performed well.

yeah i bought a dewalt for pp who had a little black and decker drill. the dewalt KILLS.

oh and hi ladies

black and decker sucks. hi.

I guess you're a dude.

so... welcome. would you like some bowie crotch?

i mean, they're all perfectly fine for basic household tasks -- it's when you get into drilling into brick or metal that you see the performance differences

I have my mom's old drill (think it may be an old Milwaukee?) and it's heavy and great, but I think it's still the less powerful of the cordless drills, and if I needed to, for instance, drill into brick walls (with the right bit of course) I'm not sure it could keep up.

xp yes!!

ohhh. haven't had to do much with brick or metal in my life yet. The outer walls in my old house were concrete, if that makes a difference.

i do not have stockholm syndrome about my ex-bf's drill!
