It is absolutely my favorite Christmas movie too. So many lines in that movie. Must be extra special for you Boilers being in the Chicago area and being Blackhawks fans. Back when we had Flyers season tix (sorry) there was a guy a couple rows in front of us and at every December game he woud wear the "00" Blackhawks jersey with "Griswold" on the back. Was great.

Eddie, if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet I wouldn't be any more surprised! - Clark W. Griswold

Just thought of something while wrapping Christmas gifts, I was always forced to use those right handed scisors since there was like 1 pair of left-handed ones for the whole classroom. No wonder why I could never cut a straight line!

Woo Hoo! I am not alone!!!! I can't cut a straight line for crap! (but I can't use lefty scissors either...alas, conformity wins again)

I owe my baseball scholarship to being a lefty.

Thanks, MmeLeota. I feel all warm and fuzzy now that everyone has accepted me.

Aha! That's cheating! Or is it a form of affirmative action?

Just kidding, big guy. I'm sure you were very good regardless.

No cheating, Mousekedude - baseball is one of the few sports that loves us southpaws!

Although, Boilerdude, I pegged you more as a football dude.

99Soulz, I believe I could quote about every line from that movie!!! I drive DH crazy when we watch it!

Any lefties out there ever get annoyed going through school, why were there always like 1 or zero lefty desks?!

99Soulz, it's funny you mention the one left-handed scissors for each classroom in school - yep! That was so true when I grew up and was forced to use the right-hand scissors. And yes - I can't in a straight line either! I wonder if it's just a curse that all of lefties suffer?

I played some Football until the Baseball coach said "Your scholarship depends on Baseball, it would be a pity if you got hurt."

Even worse was the Lefty saftey scissors, they were horable. They couldn't cut dirt.

Aha, Boilerdude! Got the football right! And I agree, the lefty scissors did suck - it was one of those "darn if you, darn if you don't" situations back in school...

BTW the website automatically re-edits when you post the word d*mn into "darn"

OK, y'all do everything from the wrong side...............we get it!

mindflipper · Post by **mindflipper** » Dec Wed 23, 2009 5:33 pm

No, Jacca5660, you got it wrong! We all don't do things from the RIGHT side...we do it from the LEFT side!!!

Hahaha. I personally never used the lefty scissors in school. I figured out a way to make real scissors work properly with the left hand.

Actually, I would like to see right-handed people using left-handed scissors. Need to buy some for Jacca5660. Buwahahahahahaha!!!
