sometimes... i'm just different

A bit ago, we were talking about something in the shop when 'Capt'n Slappy and the Crawfish Daddies - Born from the eye of the Hurricane' came up as a good band name (by me).

"That's better than this band I saw named 'Sloth loves Chunk.' Who ever heard of a name like that?!" said someone else.

Pause ... silence...

Pause... silence.... some more.

(crickets chirp)

"Uh, the Goonies?" I replied.

Everyone just looked at me with blank eyes.... very blank eyes.

"The Goonies? The movie from the 80's. Chunk and Sloth were key characters? Theme song by Cyndi Lauper? Bunch of kid's get together before their low rent side of town becomes a golf course, and they stumble through an adventure that leads to hidden pirate treasure!?

Still the blank eyes.

Um. yeah. Goonies.... They're Good Enough for Me.



Check out the trailer..



pause...

silence...

Thank you, Mr. Steven Spielberg. Another cult classic... Good Enough for me and for midnight showings at a local theatre near you.
