"You'll shoot your eye out!"

"Ralphie" is in the movie "Elf" with Will Farrell too, playing one of the elves.

I think it's TBS that does the marathon. It plays on a TV in our house from the first showing to the last! This movie, "Christmas Vacation," and the Allistar Sim version of "A Christmas Carol" are my three all-time favorite Christmas classics. And out of the old Rankin Bass cartoons, NOTHING beats Snow Miser! I really miss the days when they had a piano player at Brown Derby in Disney MGM. At the holidays, he always played the Heat Miser/Snow Miser theme. It was a tradition for us to have dinner there at that time of the year.

Great! Now I've got the stupid "He's Mister Heat Miser" song in my head! Thanks! :mad:

Well, you do realize that Heat Miser is Syndrome's father, don't you?

Eddie: If that cat had nine lives it sure used 'em all.

Audrey: I hope nobody I know drives by and sees me standing in the yard staring at the house in my pajamas.
Art: If they know your dad, they won't think anything of it.

Clark: [a squirrel is loose in the house] Where is Eddie? He usually eats these goddam things.
Cousin Catherine Johnson: Not recently, Clark. He read that squirrels were high in cholesterol.

Clark: Russ, we checked every bulb, didn't we?
Rusty Griswold: Sure, Dad.
Clark: Hmm... Maybe we ought to just go up there and check...
Rusty Griswold: Oh, woo. Look at the time. I gotta get to bed. I still gotta brush my teeth, feed the hog, still got some homework to do, still got those bills to pay, wash the car..

Todd: Hey Griswold. Where do you think you're gonna put a tree that big?
Clark: Bend over and I'll show you.
Todd: You've got a lot of nerve talking to me like that Griswold.
Clark: I wasn't talking to you.

I was in right aid last night and the are selling replicas of the lag lamp. They're smaller versions but still cool. One is the size of a night light. I think that I'm going to buy one.

We went on the backstage tour of the Universal haunted houses yesterday, and in their Christmas-themed house there was an evil version of the leg lamp. It was awesome! When Mr. Syndrome gets the photos off the camera, I will post a pic.

Those are all great quotes from "Christmas Vacation," but my favorite has to be:

Cousin Eddie (while emptying camper septic tank into storm sewer): Shitter's full!

I just got some "christmas" catalogs, and one of them has both sizes. the "small" desk lamp size, and the FULL size "A major award!" I tried to convince DW we should get the big one for the front window, but her reaction was not unlike that of the movie!
